STEWARDS LONG DRIVE.
One of the CIeanest Home Runs Ever
Made Here.


Made Here.
1t took some good. hard hitting to throw
the Saints down yesterday, but the cham
pions were quite equal to it. even if big
Roger Denzer was in the box. They treat
ed him just like any ordinary pitcher, and
pounded out enough long drives in the fifth
and seventh Innings to score seven runs.
The homers by Stewart and Allen delighted
the crowd. The formers hit was one of the
longest ever seen on the grounds. The ball
went straight over Geier's head and rolled
to the fence, close to the corner. Stewart
was in before the ball had fairly begun its
return trip.
There was some pretty fielding by the In
dianapolis men, Motz and Allen doing a
large portion Of it. Stewart and Flynn
were up to their usual rapid form, and Nc
Farland's hard catch in the seventh Of Cam
pau's fly attracted much notice. Spies and
Glasscock collided while chasing Flynn's
foul fly in the third, and the catcher dropped
the ball, which properly was in his terri
tory. He was so mad that he threw his
mitt at Glasscock and roasted him for spoil
ing the catch. The latter took seat on the
bench after Comiskey had also taken fall
out of him, and for moment it looked as
if Connie" would have to get another
first baseman to finish the game, but Glass
cock resumed his place and play proceeded.
The trouble took place right in front of the
st. Paul manager. and was little diversion
enjoyed by the crowd, which, strange to
say. refrained from commenting upon it.
While both teams played hard to win, there
was nothing approaching a scrap between
the opposing players, and little excitement,
owing to the commanding lead which AL
lens men took in the fifth.
For five innings the Saints had all sorts
of difficulty with Scott, getting only three
men to first in that period. In the next
three they touched him up little, but he
finished strong in the ninth. He pitched
better ball than Denzer and was given bet
ter support.
