sIADE DY THE TERRE HAUTES,
WHO SCORED MAINLY
ON ERRORS.
DECENTRALIZATION IN THE FIFTH
But in the Other Eight Innings
the st. Paul Players We're
on Duty.

The Saints took the third and final
game from Jack Carney's Wander
ers yesterday, but it was only be-
cause the Hottentots couldn't hit the
ball, not because of good ball play
ing on the part of the home team.
For the most part the game was an
exhibition of amateur base ball, in
which several on each side played
star parts. Johnston pitched splen-
didly, holding the visitors down to
seven hits, and had his support
been as good as his own work Terre
Haute would have escaped with
about two runs instead of seven.
St. Paul owes the majority of her
runs to ragged fielding on the part
of the Wanderers, but at that they
touched Hughey up for sixteen safe
hits, some of them coming in at the
nick o. time when the audience was
on the qui vive and anxious to see
runs made.
ST. Paul led off we'll, and secured
a good lead in the first four innings.
Then they went to pieces. Confidence
in their own ability made monkews
of the infield, and they juggled the
smallest kind of a hit as if it had
been raped at them with the speed
of bullet. At the end Of the fourth
the Saints had seven and the visitors
two, and then in that fateful fifth
the Terre Hautes got in one or two
hard raps and our infield a juicy
error, all of which conspired to
give the Hottentots five runs, and
the score was tied. From then on
good ball playing was witnessed on
both sides, st. Paul finally forging
ahead on timely hits and excellent
base running. The
FEATURE OF THE GAME
was the first appearance of Middle
Fielder Jim Burns, and his general
all-around work, not alone with the
stick, but in the field. He batted like
a fiend, ran bases like an Indian
and accepted and executed success
fully every chance he could. He
Jumped Immediately into popularity
and confirmed the reports that he is
one of the hardest and surest hitters
In the league. He drove in the first
run in the second with screaming
double over the right field fence.
In the seventh inning he smashed
the leather with a mighty swing,
and sent the ball moaning over the
long left field fence, making one Of
the longest drives ever seen on the
home grounds, and he didn't stop
till he encircled the diamond. He
Enthusiastically strengthens the team
very much, and will doubtless be
right in it in the series with the
Brewers and the Blues.
Hughey is entitled to great credit
for his really admirable work in
the eighth inning. The three first
Saints at bat got their bases so that
the bases were full with nobody out.
1t looked like runs. Anybody would
have bet on at least one, but Hughey
stood up there and famed out STRAIT
ton, Commy and Camp as rapidly
as they could get up and rap away
at his curves. He was applauded
to the echo, and felt so tickled that
he executed a little song and dance

cident happened to Gilks in the left
field during the progress of the
game, and While it left him with an
error on his hands it was quite an
eXcusable one. A long fly was hit
In his garden and he was just in
the act of catching it when Old Sol
sent a shaft right into his lamps
and he threw his hands before his
face. He was not quick enough, the
ball rapping him on the chin and
cutting out a piece the shape of a
half moon. Blinded with pain, he
nevertheless gathered up the ball
and threw it to third, but threw it
wild. In the fifth inning it looked
as if Terre Haute might win the
game, and it must be said that there
