Kansas City at St. Paul.

Until 4:45 yesterday afternoon, jim
my Callahan, the pampered pet of the
Kansas City bleachers, thought that
he was the biggest man in the West
ern league. At that hour and minute
he discovered that the biggest man
in the Western league, on the field at
least, is the umpire, and the particular
person who impressed upon Jimmy the
respect due to his official character
was Bobby Caruthers, who knows the
''pampered pet of the bleachers'' bust
ness from A to Z, having enjoyed both
ends of the proposition himself
Callahan INDUCED in language, which
is tabooed in polite circles, even in
packing house towns, and Caruthers
promptly put him out of the game.
Five minutes later he put him out
of the grounds.
Nor was this the total Of Jimmy S
indignities.
When he was shown out of the game,
there was a merry scramble to see
who should pitch in his place. Fred
+ dy Lake said he had caught so many
curves that he thought he knew how
to pitch them, but Bill Klusman, who
is the captain of the team, was skepti-
cal, and let Jack Menefee go into the
box
There were some people in the stand
who said that Menefee was at one
time a pitcher. They could not re-
member what year he pitched, but
they were pretty sure he used to play
that position.
For the settlement of all future dis
putes, the G l o b will record it that
Menefee pitched as recently as Aug.
20, 1896, and he pitched winning ball,
for he went in with his team two runs
behind and made the opposite side
play eleven innings for a whole vic
tory.
That is where Jimmy Callahan
hurt came sorest, for Menefee pitched
more effectively than he had been do
ing.
Next to Menefee, and perhaps higher
in the esteem of the local ball cranks,
stands Jack Glasscock this morning.
Jacks bat was a trifie slippery yes
brilliant play in the ninth, when the
visitors were within a point of vic
tory. and the shadows were falling
thick before the sun Of apostolic hope.
There were men on second and third
bases and only one out, with the score
a tie.
That's how close they were to vic
tory. Klusman was at bat, too, and
in 1894 big Bill was sure hitter He
gave the ball vicious belt at this
crisis, but Glasscoek dug it out of
the sand and threw it like a shot to
Spies, regardless of what became of
Klusman, Campau, who is no SLOUGH
in a short Sprintfng match, came down
toward the plate at his best, but it
was not quite good enough, for Spies
got between him and the plate with
the ball, and he was out. Nichol hit
O'Rourke a hot one, and as clean a
throw as was ever made precipitated
two extra innings of a game as excit-
ing as any ever played on the local
diamond.
1t was scrappy from the first. The
first two that faced Callahan were un-
able to get the ball out of the infield
but he then hit Glasscock. Jack stole
second Four balls were called on
George, and the two stole more bases.
Twitchell was given a base on balls,
too, and Callahan thought he was get
ting the worst of the umpiring, but
he struck Stratton out, and there were
three left on bases. The visitors went
one, two, three, without reaching first
Shugart opened the second with a
single. and again four balls were called
on Callahan, Spies gaining first. Cal
1ahan was in position to pitch, when
Shugart started to steal. Jimmy threw
to third and caught him, Caruthers not
allowing a balk. Denzer forced Spies
out, but beat double play. O'Rourke
hit safely, but Hollingsworth sent
Nichol a fly, and two were left or
bases that time. Nichol hit safely, but
was caught trying to steal second
Only three Missourians batted in the
second
Glasscock opened the third with q
safe hit and stole two other bases
! There was a close decision at third
and Callahan thought he was getting
the worst of that, too. The next two
were struck out. Stratton hit to right
field. and Killing made a good throw
to first 1t was close there, and as
Glasscock scored, Callahan thoughi
he was getting the worst O.
that. Nyce fumbled Shugart's ground
err and Spies hit hard one to center
On a throw to third to catch Stratton
the ball went through to the stand
and the right fielder scored, Spie:
reaching third. That made three runs
after, in Callahan's opinion, the side
should have been out.
Campau opened Kansas City's hal
with a long drive over the right fielt
fence for a home run. Callahan anC
Nyce singled, but clean fielding pre-
vented tSem from scoring.
The locals did not reach first in thu
fourth, while Klusman scored on SAT,
hits by himself, Campau and King
The Count was caught at the plat,
trying to work the double steal will
Killing.
George made a good single to 1ef
field in the fifth, and Twitchell wa.
next. Larry would not hit at the ball
and was given q base on balls. Gala
han claimed that two of the alleged
balls were strikes, and he had two OF

the center, and Glasscock scored. Cal
