Bad luck, bad umpiring or bad field
ing are almost always certain to floor
base ball team taken one at time, but
when they come together there is no
surer road to defeat known. The three
stood shoulder to shoulder yesterday,
and st. Louis won an easy victory. Fes-
Senden'S work was so unlike that he
had hitherto done here that it was
the subject of general comment. He is
suffering from "a severe cold, and it is
charitable to believe that it has tempo
rarily untitled him for service. Three of
his decisions were so palpably wrong
that they call for brief attention. In the
third inning Arundel hit a grounder to
Pickett, mo cut off Hines at second.
Shafer threw the ball to Morrissy, who
met Arundel on the line three feet in
front of first base, and actually pushed
the runner off the line with the ball, and
yet Fessenden called Arundel safe. A
minute later Nyce brought him home on
a drive for four bases over the lefJ-tield
fence. In the sixth Arundel made a
dart for third, the ball was thrown by
Kemmler to Reilly, who touched the
runner while the latter was wildly
hand in search of the coveted
bag. In the fifth Carroll hit
slow gr0under along the left foul line
to third base and beat the ball to first
by at least two feet, and yet FeSSenden
called him out. At the time Murphy
was on third base and only one was out.
None of these decisions come under the
head of CLOSE" They were perfectly
plain to everybody from the last man on
the ''bleaching boards" to the small boy
on the fence at deep center. A repeti-
ton of such work will be damaging to
FeSSenden'S reputation as an umpire.
He has stood well here. and the GLOBE
hopes and believes he will see straight
during the remainder of his stay in st.
Paul.
THE GAME
was opened by Murphy with a line drive
to center, on which he made two bases
by wonderful run, MorriSSy'S single
sending him across the plate. ST. Louis
began scoring in the second. Reilly's
error gave Hines life. Arundel hit to
Pickett, who caught Hines at second.
Then Nyce brought in two runs by send
ing the ball outside the enclosure. st.
Paul tied the score in the fifth on
Reminders single, Anderson's out and
Murphy's hit. In the last half of the
sixth, after Herr had dropped fly into
Carroll's hands, the fun began. Hines
hit to center and stole second. Cantz
got in a daisy cutter just out of
MOrriSsy'S reach and took second
on passed ball, Hines scoring, Arun-
del hit to right, and took second on a
passed ball, Cantz scoring. Nyce made
a hit to right, and passed ball sent him
to second and Arundel to third. Reilly
got in an error at this critical point. and
hnfnTn VI ha
tired the tally sheet showed five runs
for the visitors. They added run in
the next on Heirs base on balls, a steal
and Hines hit. Neither of the pitchers
was hit very hard, but both were pretty
wild, giving ten men bases on balls be-
tween them. The fielding of Murphy,
Carroll, Shafer and Nicholson was extra
good. Morrissy. Murphy and Nyce led
the batting. Score:
