The First Game
ST. HELENS DEFEATS RAiNO IN
GOOO EXHIBITION OF BASE BALI
If any St. I Mens fan journeyed
to the St. Helen baseball ai k
Sunday with the idea they would
ro nut and me our old time rival
Kainier ailiiiiiiiitter to the locals a
onI drubbing, they didn't have
tn nerve to make their idea known
tfter the Rame, for our boys wen
ri(lit after the game from the first
iniiitik' and when the mnoke rleare
iway at the l:t inning the cor
aj) 7 to 4 ill favor of St. He'ena
We are not going to give any de
tailed report of the performance,
but the two hundred loyal fan that
CHfd nothing for the threatening
weather will bear evidence that
they certainly Rot their nioney'a
worth and witnessed a rattling good
game which w ait exciting from atari
to finish. Keck waa on the mound
for Kainier, while Slevena did the
hurlintr for St. Helena and hnd a
hale the U-at of the argument all
the wav throiiKh. At timea when
hit support waa a little wobbly, he
would lighten up and either aend
the batters to the lench via the
oione route or cause them to hat
flies to the outfield which were
easily taken in ly Richardson ami
Kirhman, who by the way played
tar uamea. Keck got into trouble
in the very first inning, for with
two tm-n on bases and two out.
Morton came throiiRh with a two
bae iwnt aeoring both runners. In
the second inning Grannitfan, for
Kainier, puled a nice one over left
field fence, but at thia juncture
Stevens tightened up and Kainier
fur Rut the scoriiiR habit until later
in the game when a combination of
hit and errors Rave them three
runs more. In the meantime our
boyn kept ieging away at Keck
and tfnre the final spasm had
chased over 6 runa giving them a
total of 7 scores all told. All in all,
it m a mighty good game and waa
thoroughly enjoyed by all the St.
Helena fans present, who this year
have mailt- up their minds they are
ginK to Rive the boys the (rood
upxirt they deserve.
St. Melon Is very lucky in se
furintf Her low to catch. In addi
tion to leing a No. 1 catcher, he is
I wiw old head at the game and
hiliU the younger ones down.
Stevens, as usual, pitched his
tea.ly. consistent Rame, and when
too many Rainier runners were on
the paths to suit him he would put
little extra Bluff on the ball and
Mr. li.itsman usually went back to
the bench.
Danny Richardson in the center
field played a very pretty game, ac
cepting several hard chances and
getting anay with them nicely.
Kiilnnan's long and accurate peg
from the left field to the homo plate
as a beauty and robled Kainier of
what appeared to be a sure score.
Morton's Rreat batting was one
of the features of the Rame und
helped the score out also.
arl Terry will make a Rood
wond basemnn as his performance
clearly demonstrated. Heretofore
Earl has played right field.
Hrukke at third played his usual
Kood ateady Rame and in addition
to that was very handy with the
tick.
Two youngsters, McDonald and
Hohertaon, were Riven a try out
nd came through in Rood shape.
After they Ret over their "stnRe
frirfht" they will be valuable ad
ditions to the team.
