One day last October an amateur
photographer of ST. Paul went out to
Athletic park and turned his camera on
the grand stand during a contest.
Yesterday the same young man was
at the grounds, and again he
made picture of the spec
tatOrs. Then he compared the
pictures. The effect was startling.
They were almost precisely alike. The
faces which appeared IN the first picture
were everywhere visible in the second.
In many eases even the seats occupied
and the attitudes of the spectators were
precisely the same. If they had been
men of stone. and had remained in their
seats all winter the two pictures could
hardly have been more alike, and
really they were the same men. The
brave 400 who love base ball for itself,
whether served on lee in October, or
with lemonade in July, were at
both contests. Doc Quinn occupied a
front seat and had a tab on which he
was trying to keep the stolen bases and
sacrifice hits apart. Two rows behind
him Judge Cory was keeping track
of the runs by notching a stick.
In the middle of the seventh inn
ing he sent up town for more lumber.
Representative Bickel drew up bill in
the eighth inning, which he will intro
duce in the house on Monday, making
1t miSdemeanOr for any club to get in
the lead of its competitors at any stage
OF the game more than six runs. Mayor
Smith will offer an amendment to this
III the senate to the effect that it shall
not be legal for any contest to begin
until the mayor of the city shall appear
in the grand stand and signify his will
lngneSS that the game shall proceed.
Aaron Poupeny was there with be-
witching smile and an eye to the
main chance. None of the
cranks had seen him since the
Australian aggregation passed through
st. Paul last fall, and they do say he
went around the globe with the boys.
Lou Bensnger had back seat. but he
took deep interest in the proceedings,
just the same. He smiled pleasantly
when Werrick lifted the ball into the
swamp and passed the cigars.
Capt. Chantler had his usual
place and was willing to
wager heavily on st. Paul after the sew
enth inning. Allen Van Bergen sat
exactly at the center of the scorers
stand, had direct wire to London, and
sent detailed report to the London
Times at the end of each inning. He
stated that the Prince of Wales and
Marquis of QueenSberry were at the
Times Office and read the dispatches as
received with enthusiastic interest.
Frank Atwood got III half an hour late
because he failed to remember that
there was strike on the street railway,
but resumed his Old-time serenity when
he learned that the sale of score cards
for the day was the largest
so far this season. Sporting
Editor MaXfieid. of the Press,
admired the pretty work of the home
team in practice, but about the time the
contest opened he got into an argument
with brother crank on what cOnsti-
tuted a genuine sacrifice hit. and the
subsequent proceedings on the diamond
Interested him no more until he
was warned by loud bell ringing
that the motor was about to leave Tor
Jackson street. There was, however,
an aching VOID III the grand stand. The
old-timers turned their lorgnettes to
every nook and corner of the
stand, but the smiling faces
they ionged to look upon failed
to materialiZe. Tom Prendergast and
BaZ Armstrong were not there. A
messenger boy appeared in the second
inning. however, with letter of regret
from them, in which they announced
that they would never do so again.
THE GAME
was rather too one-sided to be specially
Interesting. The st. Paul team was in
excellent trim, and batted and fielded
in fine form. In base running it was
good and bad by spells. Many bases
were stolen: but four men were caught
mapping with ridiculous ease, ST.
Paul opened with Sowders and
Broughton as battery, who
were opposed by Siebel and Crottv.
Later on Tuckerman and Hunger took
hand in the twirling. The locals had
fun with both the Sioux pitchers. They
pounded Siebel and either hit Hungler
OF waited for bases on balls. The
fielding, of the st. Paul men was
generally excellent. Tredway's muff
as he had long run and attempted to
catch with the sun squareIy in his eyes.
PickettS error was OH quick low
throw, and Reilly's on an attempt to
scoop up grounder in time to catch
runner at the plate. The fielding of the
Corn HuSkers was considerably more
uneven. Bradley made three bad blum
derS, but afterwards braced up and did
some superb fielding, one of his stops
and throws being remarkably pretty.
Hungler was wild and CrOtty was rather
unsteady in catching and throwing to
bases. Cline was the only man in the
visiting aggregation who hit the ball
with much success. The locals, how
ever, hammered the sphere in a way
which was altogether pleasing to the
cranks. Werrick, Broughton, Reilly
and Pickett were especially effective.
TredWay caught the crowd from the
start with his earnestness. He
covered his field rapidly and
accurately and smashed away at the
ball like veteran. He did not get
safe hit, however, until the ninth
inning. when he caught the sphere on
the end of his stick and landed it in the
swamp at left. HAYES made the first
on balls, stealing second and going
around on Pickett's hit to right,
the latter by making a feint at
second turning interest to himself
while Halves ran home. In the second.
three runs resulted from doubles bv
Carroll and Reilly. and home run by
Werrick. In the fourth, Broughton
scored on base on balls, a base to Sow
ders for being hit, passed ball and a
hit by Murphy. At this point Hungler
began pitching, and fourteen men
scored in five innings OH combination
of bases on balls. hits and errors. The
Sioux scored twice in the first on
hits by Cline and Hellman and bases
on balls to Siehel and Crotty. Two
more were added in the sixth on Crotty's
hit, a base on balls to Hellman. a sacri-
fee by Hnngler and an error by Reilly.
Cline's double and SIebel's single
brought in the fifth ron in the seventh.
The game was umpired by McDermott.
