ST. JOE VARSITY WALLOPED CHICAGO AGGREGATION

Captarin Maloney and his mates of the St. Joseph college baseball team smothered the Chicago Rainbows under a shower of base hits at the college grounds Sunday afternoon, winning under wraps, 14 to 4. The contest was one-sided and uninteresting. The visitors .carried with them that don’t care manner which is usually the case with clubs secured from Chicago, who come more for the train ride than anything else. The Chicagoans were full of boots, bulls and blunders, their infield resembled a sieve and the outfield appeared as if they were just recovering from the sleeping sickness. Their pitchers did fairly well but were not strong enough to overcome the weakness behind them. Fehrenbacher was on the rubber for the collegians and toyed with the visitors, never once exerting himself. His mates were full of chatter and gave him sterling support at all times. Wellman featured the game with a one-handed catch. of a drive which seemed slated to draw up alongside the gymnasium in the opening stanza. The big outfielder also gathered two lusty base knocks which sent three runs across. Rose at third, Maloney at second and O’Mara at short presented a tight inner works. St. Joseph gathered two runs in the first on the pitcher’s errors and the Rainbows scored once in the second. In the fourth the home gang packed the bases with none gone and then proceeded to cross the plate four times on walks and weak infield taps which the Rainbow infield kicked in a ridiculous manner. Four more came for the Red and Purple in the fifth, and during the later innings the score was sent to fourteen. When Fehrenbacher eased up toward the close, the visitors manufactured three more runs.

.St. Joe is represented by a rather strong club this year and have a heavy schedule with stronger nines than the one which appeared Sunday, and will doubtless have a large following during the remainder of the schedule.
