Revenge is sweet. and Jack
Barnes boys have had il. They are
satisfied. Whatever they have suf-
fered at the hands of the Apostles
in the past was wiped from the slate
by that game of yesterday. The
AIillers made a monkey of Alex
SOuthpaw Jones and hammered the
ball to death. Every man that saw
il hit il out of sight, and nobody
from Minneapolis missed seeing it.
They came there with bats that
looked like hickory trees and the bail
couldn't get past them.
Now look at this: Ten safe hits,
eighteen men at bat, fourteen runs,
two OF which were forced, and all in
one inning. It is a record breaker.
History fails to show up anything
better. We marveled the other day
how any team could make eleven
runs in one inning. We have quit
marveling. It's easy for the Mill
ers. All they do is hit the ball
where it can't be nailed and there
you are. They did it yesterday OF
course there were errors in that one
brief half-inning in which the Mill
ers wrested away from the Apostles
their lead of six and hammered them
into a defeat that is very bitter.
Those three little errors made re-
spectively by Pickett, Irwin and
Mari made possible eleven runs.
The Millers should have had but
three in that inning. They would
have made but three had it not
been for the three errors just men,
toned. The plays were easy to
make, but the three Apostles were
suffering from disgust and they
couldn't stop the ball. All the Mill
ers did for something like half an
hour was to NIL the bases and then
clear them. The pitcher didn't take
up much time pitching He gener-
ally threw one ball to each man and
away went the leather for two or
three bases or something like that.
It was too bad. The crowd was
In a great good humor. and we start
ed off as if we meant to have the
game. For the first five innings il
was as pretty q game as any one
could wish-pretty for US, because
we had six nice ru4s and the A1illers
had but two. The Apostles had been
doing some sharp and pretty field
ing. Alex SOuthpaw Jones was in
high feather, and the MilIers' hits
We're scattering. On the contrary
The Apostles were hitting Healy
nicely, and it began to look as if
Healy was, after all, decided has
been.
THEN CAME A CHANGE.
A cloud appeared on the horizon of
the Apostles hopes. It grew into 9TH
eT clouds, and they all gathered and
sent down a storm of base hits that
broke Alexis heart, while simulta-
neously the Apostles began TO find
Long John a puzzle. At the end of
the fifth inning the score stood St.
Paul 10, Minneapolis ). 1t looked well.
The crowd was sure Of the game. It
applauded everything, 81, as usual,
the Apostles. with victory in sight.
grew careless. They always do it.
They ought not to DO it May be they
will quit ii. May be they will not
quit it. Well. anyway
Things looked bright when the Mill
Il.
cinch that they couldn't win out. The
crowd sympathized with them 1t felt
sorry for them, and was inclined to
think that after all, perhaps Cushman
was a. little hard on them. 1t forgave
them for their untimeIy and contin-
uOus and ridiculous and uncalled-for
kicking and jaw twisting In fact the
crowd felt magnauimous. It didn't
feel that way after a little while It
felt sorry-for itself and the Apos-
ties.
Now, while there were other innings
In the game besides the sixth. there's
no use going over them. It is enough
to detail the sixth. The Nillers got
enough runs in that inning TO win, so
what's the use talking about others
Just read about the sixth. It breaks
all previous records, and it tickIed
Jack Barnes-naturaily
Catcher Wilson was the first man to
bat in that inning. He whirIed a tree
over his head, and sent the ball sail
ing over the fence for two bases. Well.
that was all right providing it didn't
happen too often. And the crowd
wasn't sore even when Long John
stepped up to the plate with a teIe-
graph pole and SHE'D the leather over
the left field fence for a home run.
There We're two scores and nobody
out. That was all right. There was
nobody on bases, and the men would
now 90 out in one, two, three order.
That's what the crowd thought But
the men didn't go out. one, and that
one LalIy, would have been out had
Pickett stopped the little grounder
sent in his direction But Pickett was
80
the ball went by him, and LalIy went
on TO third in the wild throwing that
snsued. while Hulen, who had got life
on balls, trotted home with a bland
smile.
NOW CAME PERRY WERDEN.
He had got the boys a going" and
30 TO help out, he sent the ball over the
fence for two bases and Lally came
home. Werden was needed on the
coach line, 50 Burns swiped the ball
clean for TWO bases and let Perry in.
Strauss was the second man who ought
TO have been out. but his fly to MARI
vas mu1fed, and Kuehne. who ought to
nave been out and retired the side, Sc
cured life because Irwin f1ImbIed his
easy grounder TO short. Well. the
bases were full now and Long John
Healey dropped a neat double into
left and brought Kuehne and I.alfy
home. The hitting had grown too
hard. so Jones left the box and Pep
per came in. There was little change.
Pep was just as easy as Alex and there
came doubles in such rapid succession
md runs, too. that the crowd threw up
he sponge and got to laughing and ap-
Dlauding the MiIlers for their heavy
hitting.
Hulen was the first at bat when Pep
per came in and he died at first. LalIy
hen followed with a double TO center
bringing HeaIey in. Werden's double
brought LaIIy in and Burns double
brought Werden in Strauss sent the
