The first effect of the fine battle of
The ball teams respectively representing
St. Paul and Minneapolis at st. Paul
Thursday was the large crowd that
turned out at yesterdays game at Min
neapOlis, fully half of which came from
st. Paul. 1t was not a repetition OF
that fine game, however. Minneapolis
won 50 easily that there was no struggle
worth speaking of, The first six inn
ingS were played on their merits, but
after that st. Paul gave up and klopf
eaSed his arm by tossing in straight
balls. Anderson did not seem in condi-
ton, his balls having not much curve
and very little drop. The seemed to
fail, for the most part, just where the
Minneapolis sluggerS wanted them, and
were pasted about in every direction.
After the sixth inning he, too, saved
himself and LET the fielders do the work.
Klopf was wild, but was effective, and,
to use his own expression, chad to
cut the button on the dish every
time" For seven innings he was
not touched, except in the third,
and when the eighth inning opened for
st. Paul with the score standing IL to
against them. he dropped both speed
and curves, and let the visitors amuse
themselves hitting long ones, which the
home iielders only Sauntered after. st.
Paul played loose fielding game
throughout, While the work of Mime
apolis was very sharp, the two fielding
errors being made in innings not pro-
ductive Of runs. Outside of the heavy
batting, the feature of the game was
the wonderful throwing of Broughton
and his fine general work. Not base
was stolen, and it was a certain out for
the runner to start for second. Kemm-
Ter also did well in this regard, but was
not as we'll supported at the base. The
game was poorly opened by Anderson,
Patton going to first on balls, but the
Sawed-ofr fielder tried to make second
and was caught. Walsh lined out hit
to the right fence, but was caught at
second on Kreig's hit to Shafer. The
little captain worked hard for double
play, but threw wild to Veach, and be-
fore the ball could be gathered from
AMONG THE CARRIAGES,
Kreig was painting on the bench. Klopf
made as bad an opening. He gave
Shafer five bad balls, but the runner
was easily caught trying to steal. KlCpf
kept it up. lie gave Murphy his base
and the middle fielder at once eSSayed
to steal. but BroughtOn made quick
throw and the runner was caught six
feet OFF second. Carroll made three
vigorous lungeS at the atmosphere and
the side went to the field. Brosnan
and Moi 'nllnIn nanh hit Cafalu tho
former dying on the plate and the latter
making a steal and scoring an earned
run on a sacrifice. st. Paul did nothing
until the fourth, when three successive
hits yielded an earned run. In this inn
ing Murphy was on third and Carroll
on first. the latter starting for first on
the first pitch. BrOughtOn motioned to
third TO hold Murphy and then threw to
BroSnan and nailed Carroll be-
fore he could realize what
was the matter. Minneapolis kept
tile front with three hits, ca ch
of which came i'll a critical place and
brought in runs. McCullom drove the
ball against the left field fence nearly
every time he came to bat, and Brough-
ton and brosnan batted heavily. In the
eighth inning Jevne distinguished him
self by making home from first base on
Klopf's single. Baron Kemmler also
distinguished himself by lining out
three hits, one of which was a two
Dagger TO center, while Veach made a
heavy drive that fell fifty yards outside
of the lot. These hits, however, were
made in the eighth and ninth innings,
after the visitors had thrown up the
sponge and Klopf was practicing with
straight balls. Patton walked after hits
while Carroll and Murphy each got two
bags, and Pickett sat on the third base
line until forced to score 10y succeeding
runners. The official score follows:
