Forty-f1ve hits for total of eighty
two bases.
That is the secret of Minneapolis
heartrending defeat yesterday.
The West Side grounds now have
the record for professional baseball
big scores.
Forty-one runs is lot. 1t not only
takes good batters, but good runners
and great endurance to play ball
game like that.
Minneapolis was never in 1t at any
stage. The locals piled up six runs
in the first inning and the most con-
spicuous thing about the rest of the
game was the lassitude which charac-
terized the Minneapolis players.
Perhaps you could not blame them.
O'Day was sick yesterday, or at least
suffering from an injured ankle, and
could not umpire. Manager Comisky
appointed as a substitute umpire a
young man named Slater who has Of
ffciated as umpire in the city league.
Wilmot refused to accept him, and
packed up his bats to leave the field
That would have forfeited the game
but the crowd did not want the game
that way, and urged Comiskey to COM
promise by having a player from each
side umpire. This was tried between
the same clubs once before here this
year and the st. Paul club got the
worst of the deal. Comiskey would not
agree to 1t, so finally Johnston, of ST.
Paul, went into the diamond.
He was roundly roasted on sSEeraI
occasions by the players of his own
team, but as matter Of fact he gave
pretty good exhibition Of umpiring.
But 1t did not make much difference
whether he did or not. The home
team was smuggling the ball, and that
was all there was to it.
st. PauPs first three to bat got first
by hook or crook, and then George
drove the ball over the fence Burns
hit safely and Shugart put another
ball out of the lot, before the side was
out That made six runs for q starter,
and the only Miller to reach first was
Lally, who got there by an error of
Shugart only to be forced off imme-
diately by Wilmot on a double play
from Pickett.
Glasscock was next to make a home
run. Turner contented himself with
two-base hit but George made the
second homer. Burns, Pickett and
Shugart in turn hit safely and the first
of them scored the tenth run.
Werden, Frank and Schriver in turn
hit the ball to Mullane and went out
at first. Lally dropped Glasscock's
fly, and Turner made homer. 1t was
II to nothing. Three more Millers
tried in vain to reach first.
Four singles, Spies homer, and an
error or two gave the locals four more
In the fourth, making sixteen. Four Of
the Mlllers in succession hit safely, and
as W1lmot's was for two bases, three
Of them scored.
Shugart's two-base hit, followed by
Spies single, gave the locals the only
run they made in the fifth, seventeen
In all. Kuehne hit safely and Tony
gave two men bases on balls. With
the bases full Lally put the ball ont
OF the lot, and that made seven runs
for the visitors, but they were not in
1t even then.
Healy gave O'Rourke his base. and
when three singles and Pickett's homer
added five runs to the score of the To-
calls, Long John concluded that it was
time he crawled from under the ava
tanche. He crawled, and young Car
ney went in. The first man went out
but two others hit safely, and Bah gave
another life, when Glasscock poked
one into Carney'S fippers so hard that
II broke one of his thumbs, and he
could not control the ball any more
seven runs were the total for the
inning, making "a to Z. Three Millers
went out before they reached first
Georges single and Burns homer
made two more for the locals in the
seventh. &C.
Carney hit safely and stole second.
Connors advanced him and Lally's sin
gle scored him, but no one else came
In that inning, or during the rest of the
game, so far as Minneapolis was con-
cerned.
The eighth was a bad one O'Rourke
started with a two-bagger Glasscock
only got a single and Turner only
base on balls, but the next three all
made doubles, and Shugart gave Will
mot high fly. Spies heightened the
list OF tWo-baggers, and Mullane hit
single. Then st. Paul went hack to the
top of the batting list, after three more
two-baggers in succession. Carney went
to second base and Jimmy Conner
pitched George hit an easy one and
went out.
Mullane gave the first two men I'D
bases on balls. but the next three went
out and the eighth was over. Com
fskey was willing to have the game
called, but as st. Paul was only TWEEN
ty-eight runs ahead, Wilmot insisted
on playing the ninth to see how strong
they could make it. He found out, for
ConnorS gave Burns a base and Pickett
drove the ball out of the lot again,
making thirty-eight runs for the game.
6hugart and Spies hit safely, and while
Jimmy struck out Mullane, the NEXT
three hit safely and three runs came
In, making forty-one before ST. Paul
took the field again.
Mullane refused to pitch any more.
