The ball teams representing respect
lively the cities of st. Paul and Mime
apolis met for the last time this season
in ST. Paul at the Athletic park yester-
day. Of the thousand and odd people
present. the Flour City had the more
adherents, and the unIucky cripples be-
meath the fostering care of Mr.. Wat
kins were compelled to undergo a cruel
roasting. Two games were played and
the teams broke even, Minneapolis TAX.
ing the first and st. Paul the second.
There was great deal of bad playing
throughout both games, and earned
runs were rare as st. Paul victories, but
at the same time there were several
very brilliant plays sandwiched in.
Abbey's right field work was done
in bright style throughout, and the
general play of Miller, McQuaid,
Meekin and Dugdale was excellent.
The red-faced and sweet-tempered
nobleman yclept Duke pitched a fine
game in the opening bout, and was
matched with genius named Schmidt.
whose pitching was remarkable for its
variability and inaccuracy, and whose
batting was a holy show. This game
was wholly one-sided after it was we'll
opened. By the grace of several bases
on balls and timely hit, st. Paul
opened with three runs. but after that
was not in the game. except to make
errors and furnish amusement for the
crowd, which guyed and jeered unmer-
cifully.
The. second game opened under diff
ferent auspices. Meekin was at his
best, and pitched game that would
have been seven-time winner. His
support was ragged, though but one
error was costly, that one being kindly
contributed by Mclaughlin in the sec
ond inning, when two men were out.
But for this Minneapolis would never
have seen third base, and, in fact, never
did see that bag afterward. Petty began
for Minneapolis with marvel of wild
ness. With one man out, he filled the
bases with bad balls, but singular
play retired the side. The bases were
full, and O'Brien popped fly to short.
Some one yelled to Miller to drop it,
which he did, but Umpire McDer-
mott declared the fly caught, and
a double play then nailed Abbey. who
had started in from third. In the
fourth and fifth Petty was pounded at
will, and in the sixth Killen took his
place. Mains, the first man to face
him, was hit in the back, and got second
drive scored him, but the next three
neither side scored and but one safe hit
was made. Pretty stops by Werrlck
and Mclaughlin and circus fly catches
by Abbey and McQuaid embellished the
game. Dowie did not appear in the
second game, having been badly hurt
by blow from pitched ball, and Dan
Minnehan, who carried third, played
that bag out of sight. The score fol-
lows.
