The Minneapolis team celebrated its
return home Yesterday by suffering an
nglo rious defeat at the hands of the st.
Paulites. 1t was the old story, a pretty
fielding game, stingy little hits,
pitcher who let down at the critical mo-
ment and gave away the game. Mime
apolis put Hudson, the st. Louis acqul-
sition, in the box. The American asso-
citation pitcher is a short-legged, long
WASTED individual, a good running
mate for Dugdale, who caught him:
There was nothing remarkable about
his pitching, exceptin the eighth inning,
when six clean hits were made off him
In such rapid succession that his hair
stood up and his trousers sagged until
he seemed ready to drop into the ground,
Hudson may have thought the game was
won when the score
STOOD Z TO 2
in Minneapolis favor at the beginning
of the eighth, but if he did he was as
badly fooled on Western ASSOCIATION
batters as Devlin was. Meekln pitched
for St. Paul and let in more runs by his
Wildness than Minneapolis was able to
bat in. He held the Millers down to six
hits. the best of which was short
double by Hudson. Minneapolis re-
tired in the first and second innings with
out a hit or a run. In the third, Meekin
kindly hit Drischel but, unfortu-
nately, not hard enough to lay him off
until he gets back to his old batting
gait. Miller made a good single, Nc
Eev got base on balls and Dugdale
came to the front with
A RATTLING SINGLE.
The net result was three runs. In the
fifth three more men came in OH hits by
Minnehan and Hanrahan, on an error
of Miller's, who failed to field Fosters
grounder, and crazy play of Brough-
toms, who threw the ball down to sec
ond under the impression that some
special providence would stop it. There
was not man within twenty feet OF
the base. Providence failed to inter
vene, and Murphy returned the ball
from center field after two men had
scored.
In the sixth Drischel got another base
clever sprinting. In the last three In
nings the home team was BANKED. The
best work for Minneapolis was done by
Minnehan, Dugdale, Hanrahan and
Hengle. The first three made as pretty
a double play as has ever been seen ON
the grounds, and the latter took in a
VERY HOT LINER
foot or two over his head. st. Paul
scored in only two innings, the third,
when two baggers by Carroll and Wer-
rick and single by Miller brought in
two men. In the eighth Col. Murphy
stepped to the plate and lined out sin
gle. Maj. Carroll followed and did
likewise. Capt. Halves repeated the
dose. Corporal Reilly duplicated Car
rolls hit. and Sergeant Daily followed
suit. Meanwhile Privates Werrlck and
Broughton had gone out, and three men
had scored, leaving two men on bases;
Then Maj. Gen. Meekin went up and
slammed the ball over the right-tield
fence. Miller went out, but the deed
had been done. The six runs gave st.
Paul lead of one, and the next three
Minneapolitans went out meekly and
quietly. The audience, which num-
6ered 1000, went away cursing, not
loudly. but none the less sincerely.
