WON IN THE NINTH.
ST. Paul Makes Remarkable Late
Squirt.

l.
Squirt.
A more stubbornly contested game
than that between st. Paul and Des
Moines yesterday afternoon has not
been seen here this season. The Hawk
eyes scored five times in the first inning
OH hald hitting, wild pitching and exc
cradle umpiring, and increased their
lead up to the end of the seventh inn
ing, when the score stood Des Moines
10, st. Panl 3. Mains was hit so hard
that ManagersBarnes retired him to the
bench at the opening of the seventh
inning and put Meekin in the box.
The new twirler,--Who had not
before been seen by half dozen OF the
spectators, made favorable impression
at once, and when in the eighth and
ninth innings he made the hits which
won the game the male portion of the
crowd stood up and yelled like Co
manches, and the ladies said "He is too
lovely" Davy Force was really to
blame for the long lead OF the Des
Moines team. In all the games he has
heretofore umpired in st. Paul his de-
cisions have been so generally correct
as to excite no adverse comment. Yes
terday, however, he could not have
done worse had he been blind. In the
first inning he gave Traffiey life when
plainly out at third, and in the second
Smith ran out of line in going to Sec
ond,
PREVENTING A DOUBLE PLAY.
but the runner was called safe. Two or
three other decisions of a like character
got the spectators worked up to a white
heat. and numerous very uncompll-
mentarv remarks were hurled at the
head of the little umpire. The batting
was heavy on both sides, and the held-
ing a mixture of bad and brilliant play
ing. Werrick and Miller did some as
pretty work as has been seen here IN
many day, only to spoil 1t by making
several big blunders. Among the pretty
plays in the field were good catches by
Broughton. Whitley and Maskrey, the
last being fly at the fence Off the left
foul line. st. Paul did not score
in the first inning, but Des
Moines did. Mains gave Maskrey a
slow ball, which the latter landed outside
the Ieft-feld fence. Klusman pounded
the sphere into Daly's hands, and Wer-
rick's iuggle gave Whitley life. Con-
nell hit safely to center, and each run
ner got a base on a wild pitch. Traffley
waited for a base Oh bad balls, and
Smith made hit, scoring two. Macul-
lars out at center sent in Traffiey, and
Cody's double to left scored Smith.
Alexander, the ninth man to bat, struck
out st. Paul rallied in the second and
scored three runs on singles by Miller
and DAILY. a wild pitch, double by
Broughton and Smiths tumble of
Mains grounder. In the third Iratfiey
fO,
single to right sent him around. The
HaWkeves had another picnic in the
sixth. Maskrey hit a
HIGH FOUL FLY,
which Broughton cabbaged. Werrick
made bad work of Klusman's grounder,
and a couple of passed balls and a
sacrifice enabled him to reach the rub
Der. Connell, Traffiey and Smith made
singles, two more runners scoring.
Macullar took base OH balls. and Cody
reached bag l on Miiler's tumble. The
bases were full, but AleXander's high
fly to short ended the inning. Meekln
took the box in the seventh, and Mask
rev and Klusman gasted him for base
each, going around one apiece on
passed ball, the former scoring on
Whitely's long fly to center. Reilly
Opened the eighth by waiting. for
sack, and Miller succeeded IN doing the
same thing. Each took base OH wild
pitch, and Werrick sent them over the
rubber on a good hit to left. DAILY
made a hit to right, but Broughton put
a tiy within Maskrey's reach. Meekln
placed a hit in right field, which, with
an error, sent runner home, and
Hawes' sacrifice enabled another to
score. Murphy's fly to Whitley brought
a smile back to the faces of the Hawk
eyes. as they still had lead of three
runs and st. Paul only another turn at
bat. The last half of the eighth lasted
four minutes, the visitors going out in
order. The ninth opened with deal
of commotion on the bleachers, as
there seemed to be general impress
sion that something very unusual was
going to happen. Carroll stood at the
rubber and laughed at AleXander's
ludicrous attempts to get the ball over
the plate until Force had
SHOUTED FOUR BALLS,
when he trOtted down to first. The
next ball grazed Reilly's shirt in the
back, and he got a base Miller hit
safely to right, Carroll scoring. Then
Werrick came up with a section of
wagon tongue, and was urged to put
the ball over the fence. He hit 1t a
resounding thwack, and it went skip
ping to Macullar, who caught Miller at
second and Werrick at first. There
were two men out, one run IN and
