Like a lot of numbering ice wagons
the Minneapolis collection Of base
ball kickers crawled through three
innings at Aurora park yesterday
in the vain hope that the approach
ing storm would appear in time to
prevent the playing of five innings.
For ST. Paul had thirteen runs and
the Aillers had but three, and ev-
erybody knew that the Saints had
uhe MiIlers by the hair Long John
Healy. the prize mark Of the Mill
City aggregate was in the box for
the Nillers, and he delayed the game
in . most aggravating manner He
consumed a minute or so in the de-
livery of each ball. And Bill Wilson,
when returning the ball, threw it
over the pitchers head, necessitat-
ing more delay, while the short stop
felded II back. They all joined in
the conspiracy TO whistle up the
rain. but neither the fates nor the
elements were with them. So St. Paul
went on making q mark of Healy
and piling up runs. And To- the fifth
inning came and Went and still no
rain. II was then fight or die, and
the AIillars died. After the fifth inn
ing had passed and il was certain
the game would be played out, the
nine-spots became suddenly active;
but their activity was in vain. They
We're beaten to a atandstiH. They
had been out played at every point,
and Count Nullane was the hardest
puzzle to solve they ever ran against.
Some Of their hopeful hits were eat
en- Up by the brilliant fielding Of the
Saints, who by that game Of yes
terday proved beyond d0ubht - if
there ever was any doubt, and il IS
doubtful-that they are by far the
sUpeTiors Of the cCterie up the river.
The game for the AIiIlers was char
acterized by school-boy wrangling,
aggravating delay and insolent de-
neanor. while for St. Paul il was
marked by terrific and clean hit
ting and the kind Of brilliancy in the
field OF which only pennant winners
are capable. And it never rained. It
didn't snow either, and the wind
blew not. so that. sad to relate. the
AIillers left the field without the
slightest excuse for their defeat ex-
cept that they were kicked into a
confused mass by their superiOrs
While the Saints made a few runs
by errors, they hammered Healy
with such persistency and strength
dhat they earned more than enough
runs TO win the game. HeaIy, the
phenom. was exploded, and the re-
port was heard all over the field.
In fact. there was a series of re-
ports. and the base hits came so thick
and fast that they made a sound like
the long roll. Of course Big Big VIII
son and One p. Werden ct al. tried
10 bulldOze the umpire. and gave
pretty exhibitions of school-boy
cha grin. but CantilliOn knows each
and every one so thoroughly that
he nipped their efforts in the bud.
II was in vain that Healv used his
foXiest styles of pitching. Every curry e
suffered alike. and q speedy ball
was a picnic for the hard hitters who
sail under the colors Of Old Com
anche Comiskey. It was the most
ignOminious defeat the Mil1ers ever
experienced. They were like babes in
The hands of Comiskey's men. The
way the latter started in gave the
audience immediate confidence, and
the feeling never had an opportunity
u grow weak.
The features of the game we're the
terrific hitting Of the Saints and the
brilliant fielding Of the entire team.
Rraus, behind the bat. played a re-
n?arkable game, and hit with a fer
V0r that amazed Healy. Irwin at
short was faultless. and Stratton in
right field ate two flies off the fence
That filed the stumbling AIilleTs with
wonder George in left field made
Two remarkable running catches. and
Pickett, Burns and Camp played
with an energy and accuracy that
completed a picture of perfect ball
playing.
The Saints started trouble in the
very beginning, landing i've runs in
the first inning, and that, too, after
the first two men were out Scott

What he vas kicking about, and the
game went on. Old boy Camp sized

two bases, sending George, Pickett

heart breaker for Healy, and it hurt
him s,i1 more when little Kraus
