VISITORS LONG ON ERRORS

There may be safer and harder
hitters than the men of the st. Paul
team in the Western league, but for
quick, clean and accurate fielding
Comiskey's lads will be exceedingly
hard to beat.
In the game yesterday afternoon
with the colored cracks the home
players showed UP as vastly the
superfors of the visitors. The latter
batted very well, and are not slow at
running, but hit as hard and as often
as they would, not until the last half
of the eighth inning did they get a
run, and that was secured on long
hit to far left field by Holland.
Previous to this only two Of the
Giants had reached second base, and
for several innings not one of them
got as far as first. Short hits,
grounders and flies were gobbled by
the Saints with degree of vim and
cleverness that pleased the audience
immensely. Errors made by the
Giants were costly, but they made
some very clever plays in several
instances.
OIlly d liIIlllSo Ol PCoPiC
were present, but they were given
plenty of enjoyment, for it was
working game from start to finish.
Batting was free enough to allow the
flelders to spread themselves; and er-
rorS were plentiful enough, especially
on the part of the visiting club, to
keep the men in motion all the time.
Inv ID ciIl--fi1nd cura1Ic
were on hand with tin horns and
enliVened the ideal air Of the st. Paul
diamond by frequent noisy blasts.
They had as much fun as anybody
during the game.
The game opened with the Saints
at bat. Smith was struck by the first
ball pitched, and broke away from
massage treatment at first to steal
second. Camp was put out at first,
but O'Rourke got to first through an
error and by daring base work Camp
scored. The side was retired with
one run. One, two, three Giants
swiped the bali more or less savage
1y, but not one of them reached first
base
In the second Mullane got to first
successfully, stole second and scored
on two-base hit by Van Dyke.
The latter got to third on an error.
Boyle and Johnson were put out in
short order, but before the third man
was retired Van Dyke scored For
the Giants, Barnes reached first, but
died trying to make second; Taylor
struck out and Hopkins was caught
at first by Tony Mullance.
O'Rourke, Mari and Pickett were re-
tired quickly in the first half of the
third; and the same fate befell the
first three colored men at bat
In the fourth, Mullane got a crack
on the foot and limped to first; Van
Dyke retired on a. fly; then Boyle found
the sphere hard enough to reach sec
ond. and the Count sprinted across the
plate. johnson was given a base on
balls, Smith advanced him a peg on a
muffed ball, and Boyle went to third.
With the bases full, Camp hit an
easy one, and a double play stopped
Boyle at the plate and retired Camp
at first.
O'Rourke opened the fifth with a
little hit that was not we'll handled.
Marr sent the ball against the fence
at right, and Pickett sent O'Rourke
home, sent Mari to third, and landed
on second himself in the excitement.
Mnllane went out on a fly, but Van
Dyke found a nice opening by the third
bag; MARI and Pickett scored on the
hit. Van reached second, but Boyle
and johnson hit balls up into the air
and two dusky watchers caught them.
Not one Giant go~to first in the last
haif, Smith retiring two and Camp
mailing the other
Smith opened the sixth by striking
out and Camp hit an easy fly to sec
ond; then O'Rourke and Mari got
bases on balls, Pickett hit a nice one
and kept ON running. While all hands
watched him O'Rourke took a short
cut across the diamond and scored;
MARI was caught monkeying and died
on the base line between third and
nome. Malone, of the Giants took first
