IT took Willie McGiu one inning yes
terday to regain the deceptive curves
which he was wont to throw over the
plate, but which have been lying idle
for two or three weeks. That one in
ming was enough to decide the game,
as it turned out, for the Saints were
unable TO get together on the delivery
of Willie HuLchisOn, who has now
won two games in three days, and will
no doubt be pitched every second day
hereafter by the penuriOus Minneapolis
management.
Hutchs ball was invariably little
higher than it looked to the st. Paul
sluggers, the result being that the ball
almost always went high in the air
only to be pulled down safely by one
of the Millers' out or infielders. Over
half the Saints were put out on these
sky scraping drives. With one or two
exceptions, the Millers gave Hutch ad-
mirable support, in which respect they
We're more generous than Willie Nc
Gllls st. Paul associates.
Mcbride started the flying, his aer-
motor being pulled down well out.
Glasscock hit to Roat, who let it go
through him as though it were a
Krag-JorgensOn bullet. The next one
was stopped but Cartwright muffed
the throw, and two were safe on bases.
Glasscock tried to go to third, but was
declared out by Umpire DAILY. Nyce
got a base on balls, but PARROT hit to
Cartwright and no one scored.
McGiL started like a four-time win
ner, by striking out Letcher, but Mil
Ter hit safely. Roat waited for four
balls, and the next three drove liners
through the infield for a single each.
Three runs were scored before "Tacks"
Parrot secured two long flies.
Spies was first to hit Hutchinson
safely and McGill got a base on balls,
but two of the Apostles were already
out on outfield flies and Mcbride
forced McGill off. Hutchinson waited
for four balls and got them. Letcher
sacrificed. Miller was presented with
a base. ROat dropped fly and the
visitors had three men on bases with
only one out. Local stock went down
with a slump, but McGill remained as
placidly cool and collected as a mouse
at a girls boarding school. Walter
Wilmot came to bat with three on
bases, and the Minneapolis rooters
who came over were actually insOlenL
we'll that one pair Of bright eyes in
that stand would beam on him if ne
SmOte the ball, he posed strikingly be-
fore the plate. He poised the willow,
newly scraped half down to the butt,
in his lee. and as McGin sent in the
ball cutting corners off the plate
faster than a new servant in a china
cupboard, Walter swung, and swung,
and swung again. The ball eluded
each swing and Walter, crestfallen, re-
tired to his bench. More troubles he
had to tell policemen then than ever,
and he jabbered around on the bench
until the ice water sOured in the barrel
near by. Cartwright, however, still
had a chance to push the Millers to
the front, but he merely poked up q
fly to Nyce and was out.
Neither side reached first base in the
third.
Cartwright again muffed a thrown
ball, and, with one out, Shugart went
to first. Spies flew out to Letcher
but Shugart scored on Holly's two
Dagger. Holly tried to stretch it into
three, but was declared out by DAILY
much to the disgust of the crowd. That
was st. PauPs first run. Minneapolis
again failed to reach first base Nc
Gill was working like a steam drill
shooting straight for the plate every
time
When he opened the fifth inning he
drove a hard one down toward left
field, which, at first, looked like an
out, but bounded over Eustace's head.
Mcbride was given four bad ones.
Glasscock hit a hard one which struck
Mcbride. McGill went on to third
The Minneapolis rowdies tried to brow
beat DAILY into sending McGill back.
but he could not hear them. He
seemed to have patent fasteners on his
ears. George hit sharp one
to Cartwright. Had the latter got
ten it clearly, he might have cut off
McGill's run, but. as it was, he had
to hustle to get George out at first.
The inevitable sky-drive ended the
inning, Letcher getting all that came
anywhere near him. For third sue

Dnly one ahead, McGills stock went
up little. as
PARROT sent Miller a hard one, but
"Doggie" got it. Shugart struck out.
Spies and Hollingsworth cracked out
corking singles, and Willie had q
chance to save his own game, but he
only knocked one to Ball and the side
was out again.
Eustace was given a base. Ball
popped one up to Glasscock Boyle
hit to Nyce, who did not stop it. Shu-
CART got the ball too late Hutchi-
son sent PARROT a fly. Eustace came
in from third base on a passed ball
which Spies went after too slowly
Letchers two-bagger and Millers sin
gle gave Minneapolis three more runs
in that inning, all they needed.
