Mondays never do have the drawing quail
titles of mustard plaster, and yesterday was
no exception to the general rule; the crowd
at the West Seventh street base ball park
being the smallest of the season. 1t was
the opening day of the ST. Paul-Fort Wayne
series Of games and almo-t the only feature
worthy of notice was the fact that 1t required
ten innings to decide the contest. st. Paul
presented Foster and CAMEL as the battery,
and Barnes took Hunters place at center
field. For Fort Wayne Brown and Wood
occupied the points. The latter has received
rough usage behind the bat lately, and is so
lame that he can hardly move about. He
got another bruise on his knee yesterday, but
pluckily stuck to his work. Brown is first
rate pitcher and had he received good sup
port st. Paul might have been beaten. In
the first eight innings Foster was
hit but three times, but in the ninth the visi-
tors scored two double-baggers Aside from
four passed balls, only one of which counted
seriously against him, Cancels playing was
unusually brilliant. He retired twelve men,
assisted five times, made a two-base hit and
single and scored twice, days work OF
which he may well be proud Hengle ac-
cepted nine chances at second and made no
errors Carroll was everywhere in a minute,
and to him in a great measure is due the vic
tory. His daring play between second and
third in the tenth inning caused the winning
run to be scored. He sent the ball cavorting
through the air for three bases in the eighth
inning. His fielding, too, was extraordina-
rily good. The only error made by the team
was that of Brown in the first inning in an
overthrow to first, by which Meister scored d
run. Fort Wayne did not make another
tally until the ninth inning. ST. Paul got
the lead in the sixth. Camel and Hengle
scored on muffs by center fielder, pitcher
and second baseman. In the
seventh Foley scored on a base hit
by himself, one by Foster and couple of
passed balls. In the ninth for Fort Wayne
Wood made a double Dagger, took third while
Brown was being retired from second to first,
and reached the plate on a ball blocked by
the gamins at the left of the grand stand.
Toffling went to first on bad balls, stole second
and tied the score on Smiths two-baser to
right field. Horner struck out and Reeves
was retired on foul tip. In the tenth Tilley
hit the ball into right field, but beautiful
fielding cut him off at first. Camel made
hit to right, stole second and made third on
catcher's overthrow of Carrolls third strike,
which he failed to hold, to first Carroll went
to second and began laying pipe for the win
ming run. He played far up towards third
base, CAMEL moving well towards home. The
pitcher saw what, was going on and tried to
nip one of them. He threw the ball to third,
CAMEL went home and Carroll back to sec
ond. The next man went out and Fort
Wayne was retired without reaching second
base. Following is the score:
