ON him was made possible by some loose
playing.
.Bresnahan exhibited his fifty-seventh
variety in Gathers. who covered centre

snsctators who sat up and looked through
rho mists branded the colt as a conner
lie covered mis- territory after the manner
OF Ty Cobb, pulling down four hard
driven fv balls. and also made couple
OF good throws that nipped runners who
asplred toward extra bases. Incidentally
hc made perfectly good hit IN his four
times at Rat.
Galloway. who represents Texas on the
team, played in and around second base
with telling effect. The Lone star state
lad made "a decided hit with the fans.
He made q brace Of hits and three nice

With the exception of the two colts
however. Knetzer. Of Brooklyn, had mat
fers much his own way. lie handled the
wet. sliny hall with skill. and eight OF
his foemen bit the dust on three strikes.
He passed two men and hit another, but
half dozen hits summarized their Often

first inning on a hit and an error, OUT
from then on until the sixth knetzer was
,he real. original Chinese puzzle. BY that
time the game was pretty we'll on ice as
q were. and Knetzer was content 10 lodl
little.
For two innings Greiner kept out or
harms way in fair style, but his ulpu!a-
tions started in the third. In that frame

messed the utter rout OF Greiner. and the
superbas tailed four times. Fisher beat
out an infield roller and Miller slashed a
hot one 10 left for base. Knetzer got
in front of an inshoot, filling the bases
and Moran was there with hot single
which scored Fisher and Miller. Cut
shaw singled, and the bases were filled
again, and Charley Stengel drove Moran
and Knetzer home by hitting sharply to
right for single. There was no fur
Their scoring, for the ST Louis defence
frightened up IN good style.
While four errors we're spilled around
the lot three by ST. Louis, the play was
all that could be expected under the con
ditions. The ball was slippery, hard TO
catch and much harder TO throw. In the
third inning Evans and Wingo made o
rafting double play. in which Evans
was the star performer. Moran made
ringing triple and Cutshaw lifted n
rather long fy 10 right field. At the
catch Moran lit out for the plate, but
the perfect throw OF Evans nipped him
there. In the fifth inning Gathers made
a neat throw from centre field and caught
Cutshaw sliding into third base. The
fact that Hauser made an error takes no
glory from his work for the day. The
little fellow was quite up to standard,
and q few Of his eight chances were on
swiftly driven balls ali billed for the
outer barriers.
Tho score follows.
