The opening game of the Saints last
home series for the year was not a
very inspiring one to the local fans,
who turned out in good shape in spite
of the rival attraction offered at the
state fair. But it was a rafting game
as far as see-saW and excitement went,
and while the Brewers batted it out in
the ninth, perhaps they were encour-
aged by the moral support of the pres
ence of a liquor dealers association in
the city in convention
The liquor dealers were the guests Of
the city, SO that the Brewers made
themselves at home. too.
PhyIe has been presented, evidently,
with Denzers hoodoo, for the appear
ance of the st. Cloud phenomenon in
the box seems to drive the local field
ers to distraction. Eight errors were
made behind and around the hapless
pitcher, who worked steadily.
Reidy, on the other hand, lost his
control twice at critical points, but
never lost his head, and, after the To-
Gals had batted him up into the empy-
rean for a short Phaeton exhibition, he
would come down to the turf field
again and renew the base ball game
as of yore.
Glenalvin, who was taken sick at De-
troit, has left the local team, and Hol-
lingsworth was in the game at second,
on probation, it is understood
The locals made a flying start, Nyce
and George hammering out fine line
drives after McBride's unhappy pop
up, so that the locals had men on first
and third with only one out, but the
next two also had ambitions to drive
the horsehide through the cerulean
frescoes of heavens dome, and the side
was retired runless.
Phyle gave Nicol a base on balls, a
sort of a jolly as turned out, for Weav-
er's sacrifice, a dangerous one to first
base, was followed by a high one to Is
bell, and a grounder from Stafford's
stick that GiIlen ffelded prettily in spite
of the fact that it was almost as warm
as the first three days Of fair week.
Gillen gave Weaver a hard chance,
but Buck, after misjudging the ball,
took another observation and ported
his helm just in time to avoid an error.
Spies hammered a hard one into left
field, but HollingswOrth' restoration
was characterized by a foul fly to
SDeer. The miniature catcher then
tried to catch Spies off first base and
threw the ball to the Lexington ave-
nue. gate. Spies came around as far
as third, but Myers made a sensational
stop on Phyle'S hard grounder, and re-
tired St. Paul again with a blank.
Gillen took Blake's pOp-up and Lee
we flew to George. Speer hit safely
and Mcbride let him reach second, but
Gillen threw Myers out, and it was
still nothing to nothing.
Mcbride lined a nice one into Blake's
precinct, but Leewe started a snappy
double on a grounder that Nyce sent
nearly over second base, and which he
took on a bound that threatened to go
high over his head.
Then the runs began to come. Reidy
sent a lively one to Glasscock who got
it, but Phyle, with the flat wheel he
got in the Columbus game in July,
could not cover first, so the rival pitch
er was safe. Isbell muffed NicoIs fly,
and Reidy might have gotten to third,
had he not started to run back to first
when he saw the ball strike the North
Branch mitt Weaver sacrificed again,
and Phyle filled the sacks with a base
on balls for DAILY, which a large num-
Der of enthusiasts in the stand al
lowed that Umpire Cushman had made
a mistake about. Stafford hit a
grounder near second. HolIingsworth,
who was playing for the sack was
luckily near it, but did not get it clean
ly and Reidy scored, while no one was
put out. Blake, however, gave Holly
another chance and the expected dou-
BILE play was accomplished.
Myers threw out GlasscCck on an
other pretty stop and Blake caught
IsbeITs high one. Gillen drove a clean
grounder through the pitchers box,
but Spies went out to Stafford.
Nyce caught Leewe. but Speer again
hit safely. Myers hit to Nyce, who, by
a fast throw, caught Speer at second,
but HollingsWorth threw Glasscock a
bad one, and Myers went around to
third, scoring on Reidy's second hit.
NicOl forced the pitcher out and it was
two-nothing.
Holling sworth lined out a nice drive
through short to start the fifth, and,
after Phyle forced him out at second,
Mcbride hit a second time well down
the lot. Reidy went into the air and
gave two bases, which forced Phyle
over the plate. Glasscock and Isbell

sailed around Reidy as though it had
been pitched around him, and Isbell
fast one that Stafford could not afford
to have any hands glued on for. The
first OF these drove in two runs, but
the second only filled the sacks, and a
pair of pOp-ups left three mourning on
the sawdust pillows.
Weaver had been so lucky with his
hunts that he swung lightly again, but
Nyce threw him out on as clean a
shoot as could be asked DAILY was
again presented with a base and Stat
fCrd's single sent him around to third
Blake sent Isbell a long drive and the
tall one made a fine throw to the plate.
Daily got ill., however. Stafford went.
around to third on the throw in, scor-
ing on Leewe's single, giving the VS.
itors the lead again.
IIollingswOrth again opened an in
ming with clean hit and went to sec
ond when Weaver played with the ball
awhile Phyle, however, gave Nicol
q chance for a Sensa tional catch and
the next two likewise hit in the air,
not far enough to permit Holly to get
in.
Myers hit one too fast for Gillen and
went to second when IsbeH lost the
ball Reidy sacrificed, and Nicol hit
Gillen an easy one. Sammy had
chance to cut off Myers at the plate,
but he made one of those absolutely
unint .rpretable plays, and threw high
