MAURER MAKES DEBUT

Stealing bases like kleptomanlac,
Whitley Hensling scored a run wnere
there was no run to be scored. giving
the regulars q two to one win over
the Yannisans in yesterdays game at
the ball park. There were few
rather spectacular plays that kept
the game interesting despite the fact
that only nine safe bingles were reg
istered by both teams. OF these nine
hits the Yannigans claimed five. NO
two hits were made by either team IN
one inning.
Abb used four pitchers during the
game while Leydecker anc Smith
worked behind the bat. Sweet played
on first for the Regs and did very
creditable job. Abb cast his for
tunes with the 1nsurrectos. Cook,
Bennish, Maurer and Summers were
the twirlers who kept the hits scat
tered all over the score board. Maur-
er worked five innings, holding the
Regs to one hit during that time.
Summers started in the fourth for
the Regs and finished the game, hold
ing the Yannigans to three bingles.
one of which was good for one run.
Cook and Bennish worked the first
three innings.
Maurer Makes Debut.
The game marked the first appear
ance before the fans for Maurer who
pitched a good game and made IA
vorable impression. This year marks
the ST. Louis boys debut in profess
sional baseball. but at that he shows
a good acquaintance with his job. He
works harder than any other pitcher
on the club, holds the runners close
to the bag, and his motions are good.
Although tou-hed safely three times
in that many innings, Cook pitched
good baseball. Bennish put the Yam,
nigans on his hip and turned them
over to Summers at the start of the
fourth. Long John let them slip long
enough to get one run, but got anoth-
er grip on them and carried them
the rest of the game without
much trouble.
Hensline Steals Home.
Hensling scored the first run for
the Regs, starting the innings with a
double, stealing third, and doing the
same for home. Whitley rode into
the plate on his back, millionth OF
a second before Leydecker put the
ball on him. The theft was one OF
five that Hensling pulled during the
game.
The second run for the Regs came
in the fifth under Maurer's reign.
With Rogerson on second and Her
ring on first, Jack doubled, bringing
home the center fielder. Herring
might have scored had he made the
circuit in little less time. AS it was
Cooks throw, relayed by Giffn, beat
him at the plate by few feet. The
Yannigans made their only count in
the fourth when Goodman was safe
after Jack had booted his roller and
scored a few minutes later on a dou-
