st. Pan1 as. Peoria at White Bear.


The game at Barnes park, White Bear
lake, yesterday afternoon was sufficiently
close, exciting, and indefinite to please even
the most tastidious. The field play was ex-
cellent on both sides, the work being done
almost entirely by Aber, O'Brien, Graves
and Hengle, for st. Paul, and for Peoria the
outfeld had its hands full, accepting all OPP
portunities but one, an easy fly to center
in the fourth inning. The error made by
Pinkney at short early in the game was ex-
cusable, as he was injured by the ball.
Morris, Peoria's pitcher, made himself felt
for time, but was hit more freely towards
the end of the game. The st. Paul team was
put out in the tenth inning on long flies.
Morris is credited with but four assists,
whereas Aber has thirteen. Pinkney hit the
latter for four singles and a double, but the
rest of the Peorias seemed to have great
difficulty in locating the ball as it passed in
the vicinity of the plate. As whole the
st. Paul team played together better than we
have before seen it, and the members
did their work with dash and de
termination which was pleasing to the
spectators. If they would play cham
pionship games with the same heartiness
they would not so often come out in the rear
of their opponents. Camel and Foster did
not appear, as they were taking needed
rest preparatory to their serious undertaking
with Minneapolis this afternoon. The crowd
at the park was not as large as that of the
previous Sunday, but was large enough to
warrant very broad smile on the face of
Manager Barnes.
Both sides went to the wall in the first in
ming without scoring, Hengle being left at
second for st. Paul and Pinkney at third for
Peoria. In the second Calvin and Werrick
took bases on balls, but died without reach
ing the plate. Peoria tailed twice in this
inning. Long got to first on a tumble al sec
ond, and stole the next base. Hughes got to
first on balls, the two going round a base on
an error by Aber in holding the ball too long,
Powell went out at first, assisted by pitcher,
and Long scored. Morris hit a grounder to
short, who threw to first, Hughes crossing
the plate. Kugler struck out. In the
fourth inning ST. Paul got majority of one
by making three runs. O'Brien was stopped
at list through an assist by second. Calvin
made his base by a bad muff at center field.
Graves and Werrick made good hits, and
Calvin scored. Aber went to the
wall at first, assisted by short, but Foley
brought in Graves and Werrick with two
baser. Hunter stopped the run getting by
sending the ball to first straight away. Both
sides then went in and out in rapid success
sion till the ninth inning, when Peoria tied
the score. Clark drove the ball into the field
for two bases and stole third. Long gave
second a fly, and Hughes sent one to right,
but Clark scored before the ball could be sent
to the home plate. Powell got out at first as
sisted by second. Both teams were retired
in five minutes in one, two, three order in
the tenth, and Calvin was swinging his bat
to open the eleventh when heavy shower
claimed the attention of both players and
spectators. The score is as follows:
