The schedule game between Minneapolis
and st. Paul on the Minneapolis ground,
called for yesterday, drew out the largest
audience yet seen Oh the ground, at least
2, 900 persons having passed the gates.
With the exception of the first inning, it
was remarkably fine contest-as far as it
went. At the close of the sixth inning, a
cOmmotion was seen ON the ground. and
Umpire Mckinley announced the score as
to 1 in favor of Minneapolis, the police
having ordered the game stopped. There
was wild yell of disappointment and
bowls of deriSion were chorused out for
some time. when, finding the game was to
go no further, the crowd slowly and grum-
bllngly left the ground. The St. Paul
players and manager were particularly dis
gruntled and have protested the game.
There is no reason to believe however, that
ST. Paul could have won and recouped the
heavy odds against it, as the playing, after
the opening inning, was practically perfect
on both sides. 1t was a game of
pitchers, and in that regard was
nearly draw, Sowders having struck
out one more man, and Minneapolis having
lead of one on total bases hit. But two
hits were made on each side, one by Nc
Carthy having been scored on a villainous
decision of the umpire, giving him safe at
first on Crooks throw from third. Sow
ders, on the other hand. was given a two
Dagger on long hit to right center. which
the wind brought down so that Jevne could
reach but not catch. st. Paul played
man named Green behind the bat In one
inning he muffed thrown ball, made
wild throw and had two passed balls, his
blunderS communicating themselves to the
other members of the team and allowing
Minneapolis to score five runs. In the
second inning he was sent to right field,
Adams going to short and Sage behind the
bat. Minneapolis played its new catcher.
Van Sickle, in right field, where he ac-
cepted the only chance presented, neatly
catching Wilmots long fly. The only er-
rOrs scored against Minneapolis were Web
ber's excusable muff of Green's foul fly and
Rhues tumble of Trays hit to short The
game opened with st. Paul at bat, the side
going out IN one. two, three order. Murphy
led off for Minneapolis with a safe hit to
right field, going to second on
passed ball and to third on Sha-
fer's out by Fitzsimmons to first.
O'Rouke hit to Cleveland and Green
muffed his throw, letting Murphy score.
Jevne mutfed Van Sickle's long fly and Nc
earthly fumbled Rhue's hard hit, sending
O'Rouke to third, passed ball sending
him home. Sage threw Buckeyes hit wild
to Green and Van Sickle scored. A passed
ball and Crooks out let in Rhue and Buck
ley, and when Sowders flew out to Sage,
five runs had been piled up. In the second
| inning, the umpire gave Mccarthy safe and
by a mutf and two outs he scored st. Pauls
only run. After that but one st. Paulite
got to third and only two got past first
base. Minneapolis went out in succession
until the sixth inning, when Crooks was hit
by the ball and advanced to third by Sow
ders' two-bagger; but sharp playing by st.
Paul retired the next three men without a
run, and the game ended. The score:
