The st. Paul and Milwaukee teams opened
the West Seventh street park again yesterday IN
the presence Of 1900 spectators in a thirteen
inning contest, the longest game played in st.
Paul this season. However, neither of the clubs
is in any way to blame for the great length of
the game. To Mr.. j. Crooks, the gentleman
who stood up in the vicinity Of the catcher and
made alleged decisions according to the playing
rules and the dictates Of his conscience, is due
the extr aordinary number of innings the game
covered. Mr.. Crooks had honorable intentions,
no doubt but to speak very plain English, he
can't see well enough to umpire. Scarcely an
inning passed in which he did not make ludi-
crous and aggravating mistakes, but in all these
we discovered no deliberate purpose to favor
either team. 1t was simply case Of
near sightedness, and the audience
in suggesting to him that he buy
pair Of glasses offered him in pity a gentle
hint az to what he really needed. Except for one
error of Judgment, through which the Milwaukee
team scored two runs, and thereby virtually won
the game. the blunders Of the umpire counted
about as heavily against one club as the other.
The decision above referred to was so radical
mistake, however. that it merits more than a
passing notice. In the fourth inning Sexton took
first on tas and was thrown out from pitcher to
second. Hogan pounded the ball to earth in
front OF the plate and stole second. Griffin made
base hit, sending Hogan to third Behel struck
out, and Dsaley tried to cut off Griffin at second,
Hogan making dart for home. Hengle sent the
ball back to Dealey, who was three feet of the
plate on q line between third and home and
touched the runner as he came in, and yet the
umpire gave him the run. This decision yirtu-
ally gave Griffin his run also, as Hogan would
have been the third man out. But for this un-
fortunate circumstance the St. Paul team would
have taken the s'only Cushman'' into camp with
ease.
The game opened with st. Paul at bat and Car
roll swung the willow. Cushman fired seven bad
balls over the plate and Carroll took his base,
taking second on Hengle's grounder to first and
going home on Cushman's bad throw to second.
Barnes was retired on fly to right and OBrien
from second to first. In the first three innings
Milwaukee failed to reach first. In the second
and third innings Cushman struck out six st.
Paul men in row. In the fourth inning Mil
waukee scored two runs as detailed above, on
bad decision Of the umpire. Dealey's long hit
for two bases TO left field was the only incident
of st. Paurs fifth inning. Milwaukee scored
twice. Baldwin hit one to Arundel too fast to
hold and Porter put him forward base on
good drive to left field. Cushman hit the ball
to right field, but Carroll got it to first in time to
cut him off, the runners each taking
base. Broughton struck out and Sexton
hit an easy grOunder to Henge, which
he failed TO stop, Baldwin scoring and Porter
following him in on passed ball. Hogan struck
out. Neither side scored in the sixth and
seventh innings. st. Paul secured the advan-
tage in the eighth by making four runs. Arundel
went out from second to first Tilley. made q
hit to left field, went to second on passed ball
and home on tumble of Werrick's drive TO
short. Carroll hit TO right and both he and
Werrick scored on Porters overthrow to third
Hengle hit to short, who overthrow to first, and
the former made the tour of the bases be-
fore the ball could be returned. Barnes struc k
out, o Brien made a hit to center field and Dunn
struck out. For Milwaukee Hogan reached
second. In the ninth inning matters were de-
cidedly lively. For st. Paul Dealey
reahed first on shorts error and
stole second Arundel struck out
Porter muffed Tiley's fly, Dealey going to third
and Tilley to second Werrick gave the catcher
a foul fly and Carroll went out from second to
first. Moynahan was retired on q ny to right
field, and Baldwin took first bad balls. Por-
ter then went out on not fly to second, and the
crowd stood up and yelled, as everybody ex-
pected the fun would shortly be over-Cushman
was next at bat. Dealey, however. made bad
The throw proved bad one and the latter scored
the tying run. Cushman then struck out as
everybody expected. The tenth, eleventh and
twelfth innings proved blanks for both, as did
also the thirteenth for st. Paul In the last half
of the inning Hogan made base hit to right
field, stole second and third and reached the
plate passed ball. Following is the score:
