Bay st. Louis, Miss, March ST.
It is the said and painful duty of
this humble perveyor of sporting
news and views to inform you that
the Crackers were defeated here
Thursday by prep" school baseball
team. The score was 2 to / and
the youngsters of st. Stanislaus col
lege clearly earned the victory by
their magnificent work in the field
and the great pitching of their box
men. 1t was probably the last game
the Crackers will ever play in Bay
st. Louis, because the training camp
is to be moved next season and it
was the first game they had lost at
the Bay since Connie Mack's Ath-
letics defeated them, d to 3, two
years ago.
The professionals were saved the
humiliation of shut-out when Bern
sen doubled in the seventh and scor-
ed on Crafts single. Outside of this
belated rally the Crackers We're as
helpless before the twirling of Gex,
Cleveland and Philips, the pitching
triumverate of the prep boys as
man with the lock-jaw would be at
a Dutch supper.
No professional club could
have put up such brilliant game in
the field as did those striplings on
the st. Stanislaus infeld. Loewer,
third; Keiffer, at short; Martin, at
second, and Jaubert, at first, looked
like Connie Mack's old hundred thou
sand dollar infield. Martin made
stop off Carlyle's bat that would
have done credit to Eddie Collins and
from start to finish Loewer's bril-
liant stop and rifle bullet throws
elected great applause from the
stands. The prep boys got two runs
in the first inning and then stopped
but these tallies proved sufficient.
A base on balls to Martin, wild
throw by the catcher to catch him
mapping and bingle by Fruge scor-
ed the first run Loewer struck out
on wild pitch and Fruge, who had
taken second on the throw in, scor-
ed. The winners never got hit af-
ter this but the runs they made were
all they needed. They settled down
and playd an air-tight fielding game,
and their three pitchers had the
Crackers tied up in a bow knot.
GOOD PITCHING.
The fault for the defeat cannot
be laid to the Cracker pitchers, for
Williamson, after some unsteadiness
in the first inning settled down and
pitched good ball until he was re-
lieved by Roberts in the sixth. The
young southpaw retired the prep
sters in order for the last three in
nings. Roberts had made a most i'm
pressive showing in his work on the
training trip. For a southpaw he
has wonderful control and he also
possesses vast gobs of stuff. If this
kid hasn't a fine pitching career
ahead of him we miss our guess. It
looked like nine Goliath playing
nine Davids from physical stand
point Thursday. The crackers averag-
ed head taller then their opponents
but the Davids had their slingshots
well oiled and they laid the Giants
low.
The Crackers got five hits as their
grand total for the day, Cred Graft
got two and Bernsen, Ritter and Nc
Clellan got one apiece. The prep
sters got two hits. The Crackers
played ragged ball in the field and
hit like SO many old women. The
score by innings follows.
