ST. PAUL COAL MEN.
They Use Up the minneapolis
BarOns at Base BalI.


BarOns at Base Ball.
There was an explosion and fire
works yesterday at Athletic park, in
Minneapolis, and it was only toler-
ated because it was in the interests
of a good cause.-The relief Of the
families of the dead firemen. Two
thousand people witnessed the thrill
ing and killing spectacle. John
Barnes would have enjoyed the
game principally because he might
have seen a team that his beef eat
ers could wallop.- The struggle for
gore was between the coal barons of
the Twin Cities. The honorable gen
tlemen had more fun than they have
had for sixteen months, with the pos
sible exception of John Goodnow,
who was fined thirteen times and
finally put out of the game for lying
to the umpire. The game was full
of features, mostly those of the fair
young man who helped Mr.. Sawyer
umpire the game. His name was AL
Paris. He proved more acceptable
than Hoagland or Cushman, but
when he ordered a man to be thrown
out of the grand stand for non-pay-
ment of fine for smiling, some man
in the audience remarked that he was
rotten" but the other fellow was
'trun' just the same. The young
men from st. Paul could play ball;
that is, they knew how the game was
gone at, which was more than the
Minneapolis team knew, but they
were excused because it was remem-
. bered that they had never seen any
ball playing in Minneapolis. The
genial Paris was forced to use a re-
volver to intimidate the players, and
he used his prerogative of fining
those in the audience until the col
lector's register said $47.0S, Quist hav-
ing thrown in three pennies more
than his due.
OF COURSE ST. PAUL WON.
It may be in order to state here that
st. Paul won. 1t was only natural that
st. Paul should win in a game of base
ball. The young man who pitched for
st. Paul struck out thirty-one men, and
Mr. Murray, who threw at the catcher
for Goodnows men, hit seventeen
Apostles and killed one man. There
We're only three base hits made by
Minneapolis and ten for ST. Paul. Min
neapolis made thirty-six errors had
forty-two unaccepted chances and only
earned one run. ST. Paul didn't earn
any runs, because they didn't have to-
There were some remarkable plays
made, The short stop for the locals
got his feet in front of the sphere once
and stopped it, and Goodnow, in the
left field threw haI 20
base in time to keep the man from
running around the bases a second
time. Spencer made a home run on
three strikes and Goodnow got out for
refusing to take his base on a baIk.
BackuS was fined a quarter for refus-
ing to run down to second on a passed
ball, although three men tried to force
him off the bag. Murray had twenty
i three. wild pitches and Schaller had
| thfrty-eight passed balls. Goodnow sat
IN a chair during the game, in left
Held, and hired a small boy to run after
the bali for him when it came his way,
and was fined so cents for so doing
He carried bottle of tanglefoot out
with him in the third inning and was
hned 81. Finally he was put out of the
game for telling Paris something which
| the latter said; he knew was the biggest
one John ever told. There were four
| doctors and an ambulance present The
only thing not present was the small
hoy who marks tallieS on the big black
| board in right field.
QUIST GETS HIS DESERTS.
Charlie Miller was fined for not
| laughing and Quist was fined for
laughing at Millers being fined. Good
| now was fined for running ON one
strike, and the st. Paul pitcher was
! fined for throwing a ball when the
umpire wasn't looking. Doc Murray
! was. fined for smiling out loud, and
Judge Rea for being late to the game.
| Harry TrueSdale was fined for wear
! ing whlSkers on such a hot day, and
| other gentlemen were fined right and
left for various offenses. Every man
I who stole a base was charged a quar-
! ter, and every man that knocked the
| ball out of the ground was taxed fifty
cents. Police protection was denied
| the umpire.
The game was stopped at the end of
! the fifth inning to allow the players
| to get acquainted with their families
| before Sunday. The little boy that
! cut. the notches in the stick said that
ST. Paul had IA runs and Minneapolis
/ 8. The game will not be repeated. at
least, not in Minneapolis. The teams
