The 1000 people who saw the contest
between st. Paul and Milwaukee yes
terday afternoon had plenty OF chances
TO exercise their lungs, as the score was
tied three times and finally won by st.
Paul by majority of one. The Cream
City young men pulled themselves to-
gether in fine shape, and outplayed the
locals in the field and almost eQualed
them at bat. There were two things
about the contest that were rather pc
culiar. ST. Paul made but eight hits
and yet earned every one of the
six runs. Milwaukee made all its
three errors in single inn
ing on the first three men at
bat, but not one of them scored. Tuck
erman began pitching for st. Paul, but
he was so wild that Manager Barnes
sent him to the bench at the end of the
first inning. and Mains pitched out the
game. Shenkel proved very effective
except in the eighth and ninth innings,
when he got ratified over the coaching.
Halves opened the struggle at :35 by
paSting the ball into cool spot at
center field for couple of sacks, and
was sent over the plate by sacrifices by
L L
liyered PoOrman ball he liked and the
batter smashed it within foot of the
left fence. Tredway, however, got
UNDER IT NICELY.
Tuck" then filled the bases by hit
ting Lowe, MOrriSSy and Sutton in turn.
Hassamaer's fly to Broughton at right
sent Lowe in, but Mills was retired on
a grounder to second. Reilly was given

and Werrick hit the sphere over the
left field fence well down toward the
corner. The score stood at 8 to up to
the fifth inning, when the Brewers tied
the score again. Crossley landed on
bag two on fine drive to extreme
right. Reilly fumbled Albert's
grounder, and dropped the ball
when thrown to him from right to catch
Albert after Poorman had hit safely,
CrOssley scoring on the hit, and Loves
sacrifice sent Albert in. In the sixth

third. but neither scored. In the seventh
the visitors took the lead, Lowe put
ting the ball over the right lattice work.
Another tie resulted in the eighth,
when with BroughtOn. Reilly and Wer-
rick on bases and two out, Shenkel gave
Tredway base on balls. Mains pasted
the leather to Albert too fast to field
in the ninth and got base. Halves
almost upset Shenkel, the ball spinning
out of everybody's reach, ard Murphy
LANDED A POP-UP
over second base. Pickett's fly to
center scored Mains, and Broughton's
sacrifice to short sent Halves IN. The
Cream City athletes then came in for
the last half and made desperate
effort to engineer another tie, and it
almost resulted successfully. Poorman
was given base for waiting for four
bad balls, and stole second. Werrick's
tumble gave Lowe life and PoOrman
third base. Lowe then ran down to
second. Nobody was out and there
were men on second and third. The
chances were about five to one that the
score would be tied. Only little hit
was needed. Big Tom Morrissy con-
sidered himself equal to the emergency,
and was warmly applauded when he
stepped to the plate. He hit the ball
reSounding thwack, and it went spin
ming between short field and third.

the ball, sending it to Farmer in time to
nip POorman. Lowe went to third and
scored Oh Sutton's hit to center. Nor
rssy was now on third and Sutton on
first. Hassamaer basted the sphere,
and it went high in the air off the right
foul line. Billy Halves got it, and Mills
sent daisy cutter to Pickett, on which
the latter ended the contest by catching
Sutton at second, The score follows;
