st. Paul as. Terre Hamte.
Everybody supposed st. Paul would win of
Terre Haute yesterday, but the closeness of
the game was great surprise 1t was not
until the tenth inning that victory was Sc
cured, and then the odd tally was scored on
bad muf by the center fielder of the visit
ors. The Terre Haute nine has apparently
been playing in what is known to diamond
people as hard luck, for its members are
heavy batters, and, with one or two excep-
tions, beautiful felders. They have the
ter's delivery, the hardest pounding the latter
has ever received on the home ground, Lotz
having total of three safe hits on total of
four times at bat Hellman also hit safe
twice, one of his hits being double-bagger
Hellman at first, Mappis at short and Dom
nelly at third do magnificent fielding. Fos-
ter was badly upset by the turn things took
in the first inning and did not recover till
the third. Carr, the first man to WELD the
willow, hit the ball on the nose and it went
spinning to II cool place in right field. Two
wild pitches and passed ball brought him
home, and then two men were sent to bases
on balls, but sharp fielding prevented them
from scoring. In the second inning DON
nelly pounded the ball out of Carrolls
reach which is saying great deal, and
touched two bags before it could be returned,
going to third on Fosters tumble of Van
Dykes grounder and home on Lotz's
safe hit TO right, Van Dyke scoring
on CarroH's overthrow to the
plate. The next three men were
retired one, two, three. In this inning for
st. Paul Foster took kindly to Lotz's delivery
and landed the ball into left field Nettleton
was thrown out on fly to right. Barnes
punched the bail to left, and Foley completed
the work of filing the bases on second S fun
bic of his grounder. Tilley struck the atmos-
phere three times, Camel brought in two Of
the men on bases on hit to right and Hen
gle was thrown out from third to first In
the third inning Moore took first on Foley's
tumble, bat he was not advanced from that
position. For st. Paul Carroll reached first
on bad throw from short to first, and stole
second and third, but the next three men
went out. In the fourth Lott went to first
died there. Barnes made hit, but made
poor work trying to steal second. In the
fifth Terre Haute got man on abase, but he
got no backing. For st. Paul Camel was
retired from short to first and Hengle from
third TO first Carroll went to second on
center's muff of his fly and home on
O'Brien's hard hit to left. Foster struck
out. This tied the score, each side having

innings Terre Haute went out one, two,
three. In the seventh and eighth st. Paul
had man left on first. The ninth proved
the most exciting inning of the game. DON
nelly drove grounder to Foley at short, the
latter throwing it so high to first that O'Brien
had to jump for the ball, and when he got
down on the bag again Donnelly had been
there. The latter stole second, and went to
third on Lotz's hit to center, Van Dyke,
striking out in the meantime. 1t looked
very much like an other score for the Hoosiers.
runner ON third and another on
first with only one out usually means at least
one tally. Carr, the leading batter of the
VISITORS swung the willow, and Wen wager a
pint of peanuts that Foster wished it would
rain right away. Carr drove the ball to Fos-
ter, who held it a moment with his eye on
third, then threw 1t to first, O'Brien sending
it back to Camel in twinkling, and the
prcttiest possible double play was made.
Foley began the last half of the ninth by fan
ming the breezes. Tiley got in fine hit to
extreme right. took second on a passed ball,
and third while CAMEL was being thrown
out from pitcher to first Hengle popped up
fly to third. In the tenth Halbriter struck
out. Heilman followed with double bag
ger to right, and went to third on a passed
ball. MappiS was retired on a fly to second,
and Miller from short to first. Carroll opened
for St Paul with a foul fly to third. O'Brien
took up the bat, and the crowd urged him to
place the ball over the fence. Lott pitched the
ball against his elbow, and O'Brien threw
down his stick, looking as though he wanted
to swear but seeing there were ladies pres
ent he smiled and after a little rubbing took
his place beside the marble again and sent
the first ball pitched cavorting to the left
field fence, taking two bases before it could
be returned. Foster then hit the ball hard,
and the center fielder muffed it, O'Brien
crossing the plate. 1t wasn't necessary to
finish the inning. as the winning run had
been secured.
Tunnison bobbed up serenely in the north
west again Yesterday, and umpired the game.
We consider him first class man in the
position, deciding promptly and accurately.
In all thegames he has umpired in st. Paul
he has shown himself a gentleman and a
man of excellent Judgment, and those who
find fault with him are probably biased by a
blind, overweening desire to see the home
club win. The st. Paul team has lost a
majority of the games played when he has
unpired, but nevertheless the points on
which we have conscientiously differed with
him have been scattering indeed.
Following is the score:
ST. PAUL.
