F \nY - sixth inning 1t
NEGyss. &. $sse $ssss1 @$SsSa '';s l. s:
Mill City men would carry off the
laurels. But they didn't, and in the
runs on three hits, two of them being
over the fence. Both teams did great
work in the field, giving the partisans
of the two cities ample opportunity for
applause. The pitchers kept the hits
well scattered, and no more than tw o
runs were scored in any inning. Those
off Klopf. however, were little longer
and a little more numerous, and st. Paul
thus got the advantage. The Falls City
young men made a gallant fight, though,
having men on bases constantly for six
innings, and a hit or two in the third
and fifth innings would have probably
given them the game. In the third,
with two men on bases and only one out,
Anderson struck out Krieg and Tebeau.
Murphy opened the first inning by
putting nice fly where Jevne could get
it. Carroll followed with one between
his legs, which went skipping off to the
left-field fence, the little right fielder
taking two bases. Long Tom Morrissy
then stepped to the plate and hit the
ball Just out of WalSh's reach. Carroll

PASTED THE BALL
far out to right. and Patton took it in.
MorriSSy, however, refused to notice a
little thing like that, and went Looping
over to third, only to be doubled up by
throw to Brosnan. The crowd said it
wasn't good base running, and the
crowd was right. Jevne began opera
for MInnn0nn1ic hive fril Iii
the ball, but he touched it Just enough
to send it spinning into the air over sec
ond. Shafer got it. He is paid for get
ting them, and generally earns his sal
ary. Anderson wound one around Pat
toms neck, but the little fellow wouldn't
be fooled. Not this time. The Rock
ford young man was persistent. He
tried the game again. 1t worked.
Patton hit the ball, but Morrissy
was toying with it when he got to first.
Two holes were pounded in the air by
Walsh and he added another for good
measure. but the ball came through too
fast and it slipped through Ringo's
fingers like creased pig. Walsh
grinned and shambled down to bag /.
''Dunlap" Hawes came up with wagon
tongue in his hand and blood in his eye
"a very little blood. He had no time
for waiting, so he put the bat on the
ball as hard as he could. Procrastina-
ton is mighty bad thing anyway,
especially bad in ball game. He hit
the pigSkin late and it scared aloft near
the bleaching boards on the grand
stands right flank. Morrissy looked at
Shafer and smiled a smole of confidence
and went over and brought down the
ball. BE

second and hit the ball between McCul-
lom and Patton for base, taking sec
Ond on a wild pitch and scoring on
Shafer hit a high fly to McCullOm, who
got the ball back to first ahead of Reilly.
This was another case of very bad base
running. Pickett gave Walsh chance
to see what he could do picking up
grOunderS, and found his work good.
For Minneapolis, Kreig gave the leather
a resounding thwack, which sent it a
little short of Murphy, and made his
way to second on wild pitch. The
outlook was promising. A man on
second and nobody out. Tebeau
gave Morrissy an easy fly and
Brosnan tested Carroll's ability to
hold the ball. McCullom got in a safe
one to center, and Kreig began taking
IL
plate with his bat, and showed signs of
desiring to get even with the st. Pauls for
the four hits they had made. He hit at
the first ball pitched, but didn't touch
it. Umpire Power, however, thought
he did, and that settled it, as Ringo
caught the ball. The third found An
derSon at bat, and he got first on HaWes'
failure to hold Walsh's throw. Murphy
retired to the shade ON fly to Krelg,
but Carroll hit the ball to right for
a base, and Morrissy's drive against
the left-feld fence sent Anderson
in, but Carroll was caught be-
tween second and third. Ringo was
hit by pitcher, but Veach cut off fur
ther runs by dying on Brosman's throw
to first.
NnNNEAPOLIS SCORED
for the first time in the last half of the
inning by Jevne's base on balls, steal
and two passed balls. The visiting team
had men ON bases in the fourth and
fifth, but they were unable to
tally. In the first half of the sixth
Veach and Reilly died on bases, and in
the last half the Flour City nine made
things lively. Brosnan opened with a
hit to center and stole second. McCul-
lom famed the summer Zephyrs three
times. Klopf hit to center, sending
BroSnan over the plate and going
to second on the throw-in. Jevne
sat down on fly to center. Just at this
point an interesting thing occurred.
Patton was at bat. KIopf was playing
off second about ten feet, and Pickett
was just back of the line seven feet
further along toward third. Anderson
pitched the ball, and Patton hit it
sharp whack. 1t struck the
ground inside the diamond and
Pickett started for it, Klopf at the same
time making hard run for third. The
two men collided and Klopf was called
out for interfering with the fielder. The
Minneapolis men made a great fuss
about the decision, and, finding that
they could not get it reversed, entered a
protest. Umpire Power, however, did
the only thing he could do under the
circumstances. The collision was
plainly unintentional On the part of
both men, and as Klopf did not follow
the rule, he had to be called out. Rule
b3, section Z, says:
In case a fielder be occupying the base
runners proper path, attempting to field a
batted bail, the base runner shall run out of
the path and behind said fielder, and shall
not be declared out for so doing.
st. Paul clinched its victory in the
seventh and eighth innings on Ander-
sons home run, Ringo'S single and
Veach'S terrific drive over the wall al
left center. The visitors did not get a
hit in the last three innings, so it is
difficult to see how Minneapolis could
have won the game even had Klopf been
allowed to take third on his collision
with Pickett. Thesscore follows:
