n. N. G. Club Wins.

The Holy Name Gymnastic Club OF
Algiers made good their declaration
Sunday morning when they defeated
the Ushers' baseball team OF New Or
leans in the second game Of the open
ing of the Amateur Athletic Union
Baseball League at Holy Cross Park.
The attendance was very small, consid-
ering the class of ball that was played
by the four teams taking part in the
opening double header. The fifth team
in the league, the Y. NJ. c. A., had an
off Sunday, and nothing can be said
about their playing until after next
Sunday, when they will make their de-
but in the league.
The first game played between the
Public School Team and the Young
Mems Hebrew Association was won by
the Public School team, the final score
being to 0.
The second game played between
the H. n. G. Club and the Ushers prov
ed to be more interesting than the
first the final score was to in favor
of the II. n. G. Club. Both teams ex-
hibited class A ball, but the Algiers
boys proved TO be the better or the
two teams, outplaying their opponents.
n. Nolan pitched for the Algiers Doys'
while Boudreaux was on the mound
for the Ushers: both boys pitched good
hall but Nolan proved the better OF the
two. Following is little comparison
of both pitchers work: n. Nolan
struck out 9 men, walked 2 and allow
ed 3 hits; Boudreaux struck out men,
walked 2, and allowed 9 hits. All the
rest of the H. n. G. C. boys played good
ball, while Lindquist and Gerretts both
pulled down deep fly that would have
counted for a few bases had they been
missed, while in the second inning
Lindquist gave the fans free exhibit
ton Of his wonderful whip"
r. Nolan, playing the shortstop gar
den, said that Lindquist's peg home
passes him like a freight train passes
a hobo, which is going some. While
we are on Ralph's name we must con-
graduate him for his splendid base
running, as he beat out two scratch
hits to first that would have been put
outs, had he been any other than an
experienced and fast base runner.
In the first inning the Algeirs boys
scored three runs, while the Ushers
scored one in the first and two in the
second; after that neither team could
get any further than third base up I'M
til the sixth inning, when the triple
steal of Salathe, Gerrets and Sullivan,
of the H. N. G. c., with the ball In the
pitchers hands opened the eyes OF all
the spectators and made the Ushers
realize that they were up against
bunch of boys who knew how to run
the bases as we'll as play the game. 1t
was the sixth inning, with Salathe on
third, Gerrets on second, and Sullivan
on first, with two men down, and
weak batter up, and some one yelled
to Salathe that we needed the run to
win, and Irving turned the trick.
Boudreaux, the Usher's pitcher, was
making a terrible wind to send over
one of his terrific strikes, and while
he was winding up and not paying any
attention to the bases, Salathe started
for home. Boudreaux delivered the
ball home to catch him but the ball
arrived too late to do good. During
the excitement Gerrets started for
third and made it by mile, while Sui
liyan made a daredevil break for Sec
ond. The catcher sent the ball down
to the second baseman to get him, but
Johnnie slid like Kelley, and he too
was safe. After that the batter failed
to connect with the ball and the two
heroes died on second and third, while
the main hero had scored the winning
run. JEFF said that he wished the ope-
rator of Pathe's weekly moving pic
lures had been on hand to get the pic
ture of the triple steal in which he
took part, as 1t has always been his
ambition to have his picture flashed
on the curtains all over the world, but
never mind, JEFF, Wen see to it that
he is there the next time, in case any
thing like this happens.
All the baseball fans of Algiers who
wish to witness two good games Of
baseball are requested to attend the
