The st. Paul and Minneapolis teams
met on the st. Paul grounds for the first
game of their second series yesterday
afternoon and put together the rankest
exhibition of the national game seen in
st. Paul this year. The locals made more
hits, more errors and more runs than
their opponents, and added the tenth
consecutive game to their string OF
victories. For st. Paul Murphy covered
his field in fine form, taking four flies,
two of them difficult, and assisting once
to third base. Skaters fielding was
also good, but the rest of the team had
an Off day and piled up errors at rapid
rate, getting total of twelve. Six of
the errors charged to Minneapolis are
bases on balls, and the other five were
of the most costly nature. The hard
hitting for st. Paul was done by Muir
ply, Morrissy, Veach, Reilly, Shafer
and Sowders, while the best stick work
for Minneapolis was done by Walsh,
Halves and Broughton. Carroll scored
i'll the first inning on a base on balls,
passed ball and an error by Walsh. In
tine fourth Veach crossed the plate on
his single to center, Reilly's line drive
and a sacrifice. Veach scored again in the
sixth on his double and ReilIy's single.
Minneapolis began scoring in the last
half of the ninth inning. After Hall
strom had struck out, Jevne was hit by
pitcher, stole, second, went to third on
SowderS' wild throw to catch him Off
second and scored on Patton'S out at
center. Walsh hit to left for base,
went to second on
VEACH'S BAD THROW
and crossed the plate on HaweS' hit
against the left field-fence. The seventh
inning was a remarkably rocky one
on both sides. Sowders, Murphy and
Carroll made singles in rapid succession,
and one of them walked home on Earle's
base on balls. Morrissy went out to
MaCullOm, who held the three men ON
bases. Veach popped one up just in
side the left foul line, which Tebeau
failed to catch, one scoring. Reilly
hit a grOunder to HallStrom, who
threw wild to first, two men
scoring, and Skaters hit to center
brought the total for the inning up to 6.
Minneapolis then took turn at bat.
Broughton hit to center and Tebeau put
one in the same territory. McCullom
hit grounder to Reilly, who put out
BrOughton, but threw wild to catch Nc
Cullom at first. Hallstrom was pre-
sented with base and Jevne's out to
left brought Tebeau in. Pickett
then juggled Patton's grounGer
and threw WalSh's wild, Nc
Cullom scoring. Neither crossed
the plate i'll the eighth. In the ninth
Morrissy knocked the ball outside the
lot, Veach took base on balls, Reilly
made double and Shafer a single,
three men scoring. In the last half of
the inning Minneapolis made
three on Jevne's base on
balls, hits by Patton and
Walsh and errors by Reilly and Carroll.
Power made his first appearance in st.
Paul for the season. The crowd disa-
greed with him in calling Reilly out at
second and Murphy at first. but his
work appeared to be conscientiouSly
done. The day was perfect and the at
tendance 700. The score follows:
