DETROIT, Mich. Aug. 31.-Detroit
and St Paul played a double-header
this afternoon. The Saints won the first
game in a canter, driving Thomas out
of the box in four peppery rounds.
Clarkson, who went in to stem the tide,
was hit even harder than his predeces-
sOr Cross pitched a mastery game
and uD to the eighth inning held the
locals down to four scattered hits. In
the eighth the Wolverines punched
three singles and saved themselves the
disgrace of a shut-Out. The second
game looked like a pudding for the
Saints. They fell upon Hahn hammer
and tOngs in the first inning and grab
bed off four runs on a combination of
four hits, which included the entire
base hit category from a single to
four-cornered shot After that disas-
trOus round Hahn settled down like
topper who has taken the gold cure and
kept the hits scattered like backwoods
returns on election night. The Saints
might have won the game, too, had not
Umpire Haskell called Glasscock out at
third when he was clearly safe. This
happened in the eighth. Jack fumed

the game, Mullane going to first. Stein
feldt was guilty of dirty ball playing
in the seventh. He deliberately block
ed throw by Spies to second and was
properly called out. But for his dirty
work Detroit might have won, as

In tomorrow, when two games will be
played. The Saints took one in the
second on two errors, three in the third
on a base on balls to Cross, Glenalvin's
hit by pitcher, Glasscock's triple and
Georges soak for two cushions, and
two in the fourth on a base on balls,
singles by Spies and Cross and a wild
pitch. GiIlen's double and Burnett's
tumble scored a Saint in the fifth
Burnett's wild throw, singles by Nyce,
Gillen and IsbeII and Cross double
scored four in the seventh. Swipes by
George and Glasscock and two outs
scored another in the eighth, and one
came in the ninth on Isbell's two-bag-
ger an error and a fy-out.
The Detroits sent the Saints to the
field in the second game and took the
first Whack at the new ball. They
drew a blank. The visitors half was
full of pyrotechnics. Hahn was swat
ted for ten bases, four clean cracks
doing the business. Mcbride, who
heads the Western league batsmeh,
pushed the leather to the club house
and meandered home. Glenalvin helped
himself to a two-master GlaSScock
went out, but George singled, stole
third and scored on Trost's wild throw.
Nyce sliced off a triple and counted on
Gillens f1y-out The Saints, after the
first round, found Hahn's curves as
deceptive as a summer girls engage
ment. In the next four innings the
visitors did not get any sort of hit.
Detroit did not break into the game
until the fifth. Beard was given life
on Gillen's tumble, but was forced by
DUNCAN. Fricken threw billiards.

Steinfeldt deliberately blocked a throw
