Cleveland wins The Came

a sharp wind swept across the league ball
grounds yesterday afternoon and rendered
the judging of a ball very difficult. The st.
Pauls played the Oshkosh club their second
game, and after hard struggle and great
exhibition of errors won by Il score OF 16 to
II. The umpire'S name was Sweetman,
and his decisions were more eXasperating
and unreasonable than those of Hunter.
At one time it seemed rs though the
600 people in the seats would climb down
and throw him off the diamond.
The st. Pauls went to bat first, and opened
the game with five runs. Harrington was
in the box for the visitors and Duane was
behind the bat. Harrington proved hard
man to hit. but the field was in bad shape,
and through errors there the st. Paul club
won the game. In the fifth inning the
visitors got in seven runs, which put them
two ahead of the home club. They were
batting Duryea badly, but Sage behind the
bat played the game without an error. He
made several pretty throws to second base,
but Douthett failed to hold the ball and
nothing was made by these tactics. Will
mot was in the left field but he was badly
injured in the game Thursday and
he was laid off, and Clark put in his posi-

working in the box Thursday. but he was
allowed to pitch until the sixth inning,
when Cleveland was put in the box, Frazee
at third and Duryea i'll center field. Cleve-
land proved an inyincible man. The first
man who stood UP before him was Rocks,
one of the heaviest batterS of the visiting
club, but he went out on strikes, only four
balls having been thrown at him. Harring-
ton received the same medicine and the
audience went wild, rising aud yelling,

dandy?" ''Why don't you bat him?"
They couldn't handle him and only one
hit was made off him during the three in
nings that he pitched. Besides his superb
work in the box, he made two running
catches of foul balls that set the audience
bowling. In the eighth inning, with two
men out, Douthett and Sage made base
hits and O'Brien went to bat with two men
on bases. He sent daisy clipper down
between the short stops legs and brought in
the two men, getting to second himself,
Cleveland stepped up to the plate and swung

into the left field, but there was nobody
there and O'Brien came in, and when
Frazee went out on short strike the score
stood 10 to IL. Excitement ran high, and
when Cleveland took his position in the
box he was wildly cheered. Cady went to
the bat and was struck out. Rocks fell an
easy victim and Duane sent long fly into
Duryea's hands in center field, and the
visitors went into the field with goose egg
to their credit. The ninth inning opened
with tie and St. Paul at the bat. Clark
and Blackstock made base hits,
and Duryear lifted the ball into
center field and Clark came home on a wild
throw from Pope to Duane. With Black
stock on third and Duryea on second, Tray
picked up the willow and sending the ball
into an opening in the left field, brought in
the two men and landed on second himself
through a bad throw. Sage fouled and
Douthett went to grass on a short strike to
first. O'Brien went to bat, with Tray on
third. The pitcher threw a wild ball and
Tsay came home. O'Brien struck out,
sending the nine into the field. The ST.
Pauls were now four scores ahead. and the
Oshkosh team came in to close the game.
Harrington went to bat and rolled the ball
into the hands of Tray OH first base and re-
tired. Pope sent a sweeping fly into center
field. but Duryea was under it and he went
out. Bishop came up to the plate and fell
an easy prey to Cleyelands lightning
shoots. This ended the game and the honor
of the victory was due to Cleveland. who
played an almost faultleSs game. This
afternoon the st. Pauls will meet the Mil
yankees. Following is the score:
