1t was a busy afternoon, but 1t re-
stored the Saints to second place.
Between o'clock and $50 yesterday
afternoon the st. Paul Base Ball club
accumulated for itself forty-two runs,
a hard afternoons pedestrianism, ana
withal a modest competency, as the
Grand Rapids team, the opposing bat
TALON. piled up only eighteen.
These runs were divided in two games
of which one was a record-breaker for
the season in this league. The winning
club scored more runs, and there were
more runs made in it, than in any
game previously played in this league
this wear. ST. Paul having once before
accumulated twenty-nine runs in
game with Kansas City, while the
same clubs together made thirty-eight
runs in a ten-inning game earlier in
the season.
It looks as though Hagerman, the
recent acquisition of the Grand Rapids
aggregation, is a little too light for
Western league company. st. Paul
made nineteen runs off him a week
previously, and ST. Paul had twenty
two yesterday when he quit the game.
dcwncast and weary. There are, it is
true. few pitchers who would not
evince some lack of interest after three
home runs had been made on them,
each with three runners on bases just
ahead. They alone should win any
ordinary game, and Isbell and Gillen
made them yesterday ere Hagerman
quit Brady, under protest, then went
in, but he was wild, and when in the
eighth inning seven runs were secured
off the Irishman's delivery, Capt,
Twineham, fearful that the game
might not be finished before train time,
went in and pitched the rest of the
game himself.
The second game was as one-sided,
but cleaner and more interesting.
Nearly every one in the visiting list
batted Mullane for safe one, but they
could not bunch the hits effectively.
Grand Rapids sent in a young man
named O'Donnell, who had been pitch
ing this summer for the Wahpeton-
Breckenridge club in the Red River
Valley league and the locals did not
bat him hard, although he was wild
enough to lose the game on his own
account
He won one plume, striking out Is
bell. something which had been done
only by Barnett during the last series
of the Saints at home.
The first game opened with McKib-
ben's muff of McBride's fly, which let
him get to third. Glenalvin got base,
and they worked the double steal, but

field safe was wasted amid three pop
ups.
McKibben muffed another fly in the
second, but the other three batsmen
al: hit the ball in the air, and no one
scored. Mckinney gave Grand Rapids
a start with a triple to Georges gar
den, and scored when Griffin hit a
grounder to Glasscock, who let Griffin
go and threw to the plate, but Spies
could not get the third baseman A
base on balls, wild pitch and a muff
by Mcbride gave the visitors two more
before the inning closed.
Denzer and Mcbride hit safely warm
ones through Grifin's section and

Gillen singled with the sacks still full

score was then II to 6, and DriscolPs
costly muff and sharp single to him
let in the thirteenth run.
Gillen, however, threw badly to first

Glasscock drove high one over Grit

cleared them with a homer, and two
good hits, with some sharp infield
grounders, let in one more run after

to first, George and Isbell taking flies
and Nyce making a clean throw. II

Georges single, Slagle's muff on Nyce
and another present by Hagerman
