eff John Barnes don't make Bob Smith
a present of box of as good cigars as the
market affords, he don't know his business"
said long man at the ball grounds yester-
day, and it was evident that Barnes could
we'll afford to give box of cigars, for the
grand stand groaned under the weight of
1,500 people and 5000 more individuals
with their coats off and hats tilted on the
back of their heads, lay in the shade
of the fence around the entire field.
The press of people was so great that it
kept the police busy driving them back be-
yond the foul lines, and their efforts finally
became futile, and the moo crowded up
until there was solid phalanX half around
the intield. No teams were allowed inside
the fence. 1t was an orderly gathering
and watched the game, such as it was,
with remarkable patience until the clouds
gave down their burden and sent them
under the grand-stand and through the
gates into carriages, like flock OF fright
ened sheep. There were but few ladies
present, and they were hardly noticeable.
SO completely were they buried in the mass
of swaying humanity topped off with tall
tiles and umbrellas. The only thing that
married the solemnity OF the occasion was
the inevitable peanut vender, who took full
advantage of his license, and walked over
everybody In the grand-stand, looking for
gruber-huskers.
The st. Paul team was on the ground
early and at practice, but the men showed
signs of WEAKNESS, due to their three sue
cessive days playing and two long trips on
the road. which had deprived them of con-
siderable much-needed rest. 1t was to be
a tussle between the two leading clubs of
the Northwestern league, and the people
took about as deep an interest in it as is
manifested by the citizens of Chicago and
Detroit, when the two giant clubs of the
National league meet on the diamond, and
the belief that the Capital City boys would
come off victorious was freely backed with
st. Paul money, and these hackers left the
grounds the sickest looking Americans that
ever ate pie with a knife.
A DISGUSTING TRAvEsTY.
The game from the start was a miserable
burIesque on the art OF ball playing, and
from the time that Cady went to bat for
the visitors and got first base on an error of
Duryea, it was generally felt that the home
team would be outplayed and ignomln-
iously defeated. Sullivan, who was in the
box, was terribly wild, and worked Tray
numerically behind the bat. In the first
inning, however, when there were three
men on bases. Rourke, Duluth's strongest
batter, went to the plate and Sullivan
struck him out retiring the side, winning
one put out and two assists. He was
wildly applauded, but when he gave two
men bases ON balls and allowed the visitors
to score four base hits off him the second
inning his stock fell below par and it was
evident that he was discouraged, as in the
third inning he hit two men with the ball
and gave the visitors three more base hits.
In the second inning the Duluth boys scored
five runs and in the third four This was
too much for the people and cries for
Duryea went up from the crowd. Nc
Carthy was brought in from second base and
placed in the box. but he was too wild
and Wilmot was given his position.
He succeeded in striking out Legg, but
Tray could not keep track of the ball, it
was so wildly thrown. After getting his
finger torn open by wild pitch that he
tried to stop, he kicked against Wilmot.
He left the box, and Sullivan was rein
stated. Through the errors of Legg and
Mcmillan, who allowed the ball to race be-
tween their legs, Mccarthy and Frazee
came in in the fourth inning, and saved the
home club from shut-out. Cleveland
played a game that a school-boy might
have been ashamed of. Adams and Nc
Carthy did excellent work, Mccarthy max
ing base hits out of possible 4, as
sists and put-outs. Frazee, at third,
couldn't hold the ball, and Duryea, at first,
had the same trouble. Watson, the Duluth
pitcher, was too much for the home team,
but in the fourth inning he played care
Iessly, letting the men bat him, depending
