St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-08-12

Capt Comiskey was obliged to call
upon w. S. Hayes, the home umpire
duly appointed by President Johnson
at the beginning of the season. 1t
was his business to act in just such
emergencies. Hayes, in the first
place, is entitled to a vast deal of
credit for consenting to umpire a
game of ball which contained such
contemptibie players as the Mill City
team He was not obliged to do it,
and arose from his bed to accom-
modate Capt. Comiskey. His work
was excellent. If he was off occa-
Slonally on balls and strikes, it was
nothing strange, but in the main
his work was splendid. The Mill CITY
players Immediately looked upon
him as a mark, and said to them
selves that they'd run things to suit
themselves. Well, they didn't do if.
ehaIs all. hayes was equal to the
emergency, and the obscene remarks
MADE by Joe Werrick, Perry Werden.
Ihlrd Baseman Kuehne and Pitcher
fraser cost them all the way from
$40 to $25 each. They kicked on every
pail Hayes called on their pitcher
Ihey kicked on every strike that
was called against them at hat and
on every little play they would rush
up around him like a pack of hun
cry wolves and try to browbeat him
into subsection. Hayes wouldn't have
1t, and in little While they got on
to the fact that he was running the
game and not they. Big Perry Wer-
den, a bully of the most pronounced
type, planted himself right behind
ehe catcher against the grand stand.
and from that position proceeded to
make nasty little remarks at HAYES
Hayes ordered him back to the bench
and when Werden refused to 90
Hayes gave him one more chance
preliminary to firing him out of
the game. Werden then arose and
SUNK back in the crowd while the
crowd rewarded him with a storm of
misses. Pitcher Fraser was the worst
OF the lot. He sulked from the very
beginning, and in the first half of the
sixth inning made himself believe he
was so mad that he left the box and
flaming took his place.
The rooters from MINNEAPOLIS re-
sorted to all sorts of mean remarks
but Hayes refused to lower him
self to their level by any sort of
recognition, and ran the game from
beginning to end. 1t made the Mill
CITY players wild, and their manager
made an exhibition of himself. The
long and short of it was that the
Minneapolis team couldn't stand fair
umpiring. They were not able to
play game out on its merits. and
when they found that they had run
up against an honest and fair-mind-
ed man, it made them mad. and
then they tried to work him. They
didn't work him worth a cent. ST.
Paul hit harder and fielded better
and won the game strictly on its
merits. That is exactly what made
the Minneapolis players sore. They
want the game, no matter how they
win it.
St Paul scored two in the first.
ORourke got his base on balls, and
went to second on a wild pitch. II
win got his base on balls, and
O'Rourke stole third. Camp died at
first, and O'Rourke took advantage
of the play to come home. George
got his base on balls, and Pickett
singled to right and sent Irwin
home. Minneapolis got one in the
first, which she was not entitled to.
Hulen hit in the air and three men
went after it, with the result that
the ball fell safe. Later Werden
Singled to center and sent him home.
The Saints scored two more in the
second. Comiskey was rapped on
the hip and took his base. Kraus
and Pepper struck out: then
O'Rourke singled to left, and sent
Commy to third, Twins single
sending them both across the plate.
The second was a blank for the Wis
itors, and the third shut-out for
the Saints. Fraser gave his team a
run in the third by winding the
leather over the center field fence
for a home run. The Saints scored
another in the fourth after two men
