Inc several thousand people WIZ
used to be base ball enthusiasts should
have been at Athletic park at 500 yes
terday afternoon and seen ten minutes
of as exciting sport as has occurred
there in many seasons. 1t was III the
eighth and ninth innings. The Apostles
had by pretty fielding, hard hitting and
taking advantage of Heard'S wildneSS
piled I'D eight runs and the Brewers
had tailed only twice. The lead was a
comfortable one. and the crowd had lost
interest and gone to discussing the
burial of the Republican party on Tues
day. Poorman sauntered laZily up to
the rubber and issued a verbal invita-
ton to Mains to ''split the plate"
"Willie" was accommodating, the re
was a sound like a sharp clap
of thunder. Murphy was observed
moving at Il g0-as-you-please gait to-
ward deep center, and PoOrman dofed
his cap at second. Abner Dalrymple,
many years ago leader of the National
league as conn0Isseur Of good balls.
waltzed to the plate, duplicated the bit,
and glded down to midway. while Poor
man galloped home to shake hands with
Manager Cushman and the lesser lights
on the bench. Very short BIZ. Albert
now appeared with a very long piece OF
ash. There was an awful collision, hap
pilv without loss of life, Albert made
the rounds, and a siX-year-Old future
Clarkson brought the disfgured pigskin
in from the right flank. A collection Of
high. low and otherwise mis6t balls
was given ShOch for wearing perpet-
ual injured look, and Morrissy got
Job lot OF the same for some rea-
son not yet ready for publication.
The crowd began to prick up
its ears. Secretary Roche wore a quiz
Zical smile and a button-hOie bouquet.
Capt. Starkey mOpped his feyered brow
and began chewing Il fresh stick OF gum.
.iBiIly'' Bickel SAID: mains always
begins to weaken about the eighth and
the rest of the crowd mingled the grave
and the gay in most amusing fashion.
1t was critical moment. Steady old
Cal Broughton shouted Never mind
that" and the game was on again.
Krieg smashed two awful rents in the
atmosphere and sat down when BurhS
accepted his def on fly. Welsh's
challenge of the same character tC Mains
was not permitted to go begging, and
several of the crowd went down stairs
to get a lemonade. ,Iantzen, however,
flew into the breach with wagon
tongue, and by sllillful manipu-
latlon of it enabled Sh0ch to get
in the shade of the grand
stand The thermometer Immediately
rose ten degrees, but Davies gave Can
tillon an opportunity, which he seized
and ended the inning. The summer
wind began blowing again. st. Paul
increased its score by one, and the
bleaching boards audiDly indicated their
pleasure. The game, however, was not
closed at this point. The visitors took
another shy at the little ball of yarn
Burks twisted his fingers about Poor
mans fly, but from that point there was
music to the tune of Casey at the Bat"
DaIrymple got his willow in collision
with one of Mains spirals, and the re-
suit was a base hit. Albert landed eau
tiously on the spheres Jugular, which
sent it out to CantlllOn'S addition, but
the little second baseman, having
already done creditaGle days work,
threw the chance over his shoulder and
the ball seooted between his legs.
with such speed that the latter couldn't
field it, and authenticated Tom
MorrisSy elected to continue the contest
with a line hit to Abbey'S garden lots.
Here was another crisis. st. Paul had
nine tallies. Milwaukee eight, there
were two Brewers i'll possession OF
points of tremendous advantage, and
only one manufacturer OF malt liquor
had been given passport to the bench
The silence was So intense that one
could hear the May-day zephyrs whist
ling through divers and sundry boards
The stiffness was broken by Cal Brough
toms confident bon mot, Never mind
that.r and Bill krieg stole Gently up tC
the plate, hit the ball cruel blow,
which sent it high in the air to descend
into Broughton's mammoth glove, and
sat down. 1t was now 500, and Weisi
