The Apostles Victors
Over Union Meat Co.
Tho St. Johns bull club won n
game 011 tho Cth Inst, from tho Un
Ion Mont company team of Portlnnd
by a scoro of 11 to 3. On account of
tho Oregon mist which was floating
nrouiu In tho atmosphoro nnd sot
tllng on tho grass tho gamo was not
as good as It otherwlso would havo
boon. A wot and slippery ball Is a
hard 0110 to throw, hard to hit and
linrd to catch, This was evidenced
by some of tho grotesque throws and
ridiculous muffs made by several
players on both sldos.
Tho local boys, however had their
batting clothos on and forced Kid
Crosb), tho lad who has made qulto
a record for hlmsolf this season
to rotlro In tho fourth Inning. All
pitchers looVod alike to tho Apostles
and his successor farod no hotter.
Tho dofcat sat hardest upon Whltoy
McHrldo, the captain and catchor of
tho meat choppers. Iieforo tho gamo
and whllo bemoaning tho belatod nr.
rival of ono or two of his players ho
made the remark to 0110 of his men
that tho St. Johns team was ' plo"
for tho meat mon and It would bo
too bud It tho gamo had to bo called
off bocuuso a couplo of players failed
to show up. After tho gamo, how
ovor, ho wished they had not niado
their appearance.
After 7 Innings had been played
tho Portland players decided they hat
had enough and refused to play tho
remaining two Innings. The way the
gamo was going the few spectators
did not blame them In the least'
for quitting.
