FROM ARKANSANS
Thirteen to Five Score In Fast
Game Of Ball.
st. Louis Nationals Showing More
Speed and Enthusiasm This
ft Year.
BREsNAHAN is RESPONSIBLE.

Little Rock. Ark. March &c.
Manager Bresnahan's band of fight
ing Cardinals came to the front with
rush in the game with Little Rock,
and never let up on Jack O'Connor's
aggregation of ball tossers until thir-
teen runs had been scored, as against
five for the locals. Young FolbTe
who was sent in to pitch against the
hard-hitting National leaguers. prob
ably never received a warmer well
come than that which the Cardinals
rendered him Outside OF the good
work done by Pitcher DUSTY Rhodes
during the five innings he twirled.
the hitting of the entire Cardinal team
was the feature of the game. A to-
tai of fifteen hits were registered by
Bresnahan's players.
DUSTY" Rhodes. one of the lowest
players in stature on the Cardinal
team, had the Little Rock players
hypnotized with his wonderful spit
ball, but for some unlucky breaks ia
the third inning would have easily
BANKED the locals. One after another
the local players walked up to the
plate and took three swings at the
deceptive spitters being tossed up to
the plate by Rhodes, only to return
to the bench looking somewhat sheep
ish. Moore relieved Rhodes in the
sixth inning, and outside of the ninth
round the locals were never near the
scoring line. For three innings Moore
had the Little Rock players standing
on their heads, and was invincible
with the exception of the trouble in
the ninth.
Day Was Somewhat Chilly.
The day was somewhat cold for
ball playing, the Cardinals wearing
their heavy sweaters, and the strong
wind blowing across the diamond
made it unpleasant for the spectators.
AS there was drilling rain up to
noon. Manager Bresnahan called on
morning practice, and 1t was be-
lieved the game would have TO be
postponed However, Bresnahan an
nounced that his men would be at
the park and ready to play, although
the diamond was in poor condition,
Especially so around the base lines.
In the first inning Bobby Byrnel
started off by getting hit. and before
the round had ended the entire Card,
inal team had faced Folbre, Jack
lO'Connor's crack "southpaw." and
five runs had crossed the plate. In
the second inning Folbre was again
Jared rudeIy. Byrne being first up
and getting ON through an error OF
Third Baseman Perry. The agony of
this round was finally brought to a
close after seven of the National
leaguers had faced the Little Rock
twirler and three runs had been scor-
ed. Shaw and Evans tailed two more
for the Cardinals in the seventh, while
three came In the eighth after Girard
had been sent in to relieve Folbre.
The Cardinals will again try con-
illusions with Little Rock tomorrow
Manager Bresnahan will probably
work Higginbotham and another of
his youngsters against O'Connors
team. Not during the entire season
last year was there as much snap and
energy displayed as was shown in the
game of today. Throughout the en-
tire contest the Cardinals were hust-
ling all the time. fighting for every
thing and playing bali that should
surely land them in a position much
more desirable than has been the
case for some few years back. Honey
