SAINTS ARE -.
SLAUGHTERED.
The APOSTLES Come in Bad Second in the
Base Ball Contest in the
Flour City.

F'rom a Minneapolis Standpoint.)
Minneapolis, IS; ST. Paul, 6.
Blessed are they that expect moth
ing, for they shall not be disap-
pointed.
Blessed are they that mourn, for
they shall be comforted.
He is an unpatriotic pastor in ST.
Paul who will not choose one of
these texts for this morning. They
will do for the sun-burned hosts of
hilarious hooters who came over
from st. Paul yesterday afternoon
as the frightening shadows showed
the beginning of another days
descent. They came, they saw, and
they were done up. Not a boot was
heard as the Interurban cars carried
the invaders back to St. Paul.
Thursday had brought them sor-
row, but Saturday brought them
despair.
1t was plainly apparent that Com
iskey's aggregation had bitten off
more than they could conveniently
masticate.
Why, Tony Mullane met his Water
loo, and his st. Helena, too, for his
downfall was followed by his imme-
date exile to the bench. And like
the original Napoleon, when he was
done, there was none left to again
marshal the scattered forces, and
snatch victory from the jaws of de-
feat. Mr.. Johnston was the man
! i
deed, but Mr.. Johnston was an ex-
ploded phenomenon when he finished,
and if his name ever goes down in
history emblazoned in large red let
tiers, it will certainly not be for his
achievements of yesterday. Mime
apolis scored six times off Mullane;
seven times off Johnson.
Blackburn was fit to kill. The
man from the Southern league, who.
with Werden, wears a blonde mus
tache TO catch the patronage of the
scandinavian element, was pitching
like college phenomenon. toying
with a motley crowd of siX-year-olds.
Scott Stratton was the only st. Paul
punter who was able to negotiate
successfully with Mr.. Blackburn
offers, and he rarely came to bat at
time when this ability was turned
to any particular account.
1t is somewhat mean to play nine
men against one, but about one
man each day is about all that Com
iskey seems to be able to get on
his batting list.
Another feature of the game was
the playing of Camp. He appeared
to be asleep at first base, and the
was that the right field fence was
too close for man of his attenuat-
ed construction.
Every one who would come, and
those who didn't come in time to get
seats took what they could get. La
dies found places down in the field, on
I the players benches, and in other out
of the way spots. Nearly a thousand
people were roped back of the right
/. foul line, while all the way around the
fence there was a double line of curl
Gus spectators.
Perhaps if it hadn't been for the
crowd ST. Paul might have won, but
/ Capt. Comiskey had to watch the
ticket counting business and couldn' I
play first, and give Camp the nap he
so sorely needed.
But to the story.
Minneapolis won the first fall when
Tony gave Dan Lally base by pitch
ing clear over the tall mans head, and
Werden swung with Capt. Anson's bat,
imparting to the ball a dynamite force
/ sufficient to deposit it safely on Capt.
Hoags now extinct lake. That was
! two runs, so that when Frank, the
! new outfielder, came up, no one cared
! particularly whether ne smashed the
! ball or not. Two runs was all St. Paul
got Thursday, so that was good
; start. But Frank came up, and Null
| lane, not having any advices from the
! Southern league as to the new mans
! idiosyncrasies, pitched three wild ones
! The fourth one caused Frank to start
for his base but the umpire called him
| back. The fifth one was like unto it
and Frank made another false start
but on the third trial Cantillion finally
sent him off, and he caught Camp al
the quarter.
Strauss forced him out, and Werrick
took a base, as had Frank, but Burns
caught kuehne's drive, and two was
all that was chalked up.
Blackburn went off his feet at the
wire, and gave Tim O'Rourke his base
but the Southerner settled down little
and the best Irwin could do was tC

TO Hulen and landed safe, and then
| Billy George made long drive over
the fence. The st. Paul rooters were
| conspicuous at this time, and it is
noted here because it was the last time
! so much as a zip was heard from
any of them.
| There was some expression of pleas
! ure on the st. Paul side as Wilson and
Blackburn went out on pop-upS, but
Hulen hit a sharp one down Picketts
way. The Grape was hung on st. PauIs
door then, for, after Lally had struck
twice, and threw his bat clear into
Joe Strauss stomach once, he man.

and the horsehide went away to the
northwest. Billy George watched till
his eyes were tired and then let it 60
That was very inopportune, for in
stead of il going over the fence. as he

the netting and fell behind him as he

he was reminded of the fact, which
was so apparent to every one else,
len had tied the score. Werden tried
to make it lead, but he couldn't get
the ball past Jack Pickett, and it was
tie.
Blackburn again made a bad start
and Burns Went to first, but Boyle and
| Mullane popped up nice ones to the
outfield, and though O'Rourke hit safe
ly, Irwin retired the side before a run
was scored.
