If the St. Paul base ball team ever
becomes noted for anything it will be
its unreliabnty. It can discount a
cheap thermometer now and beat it
out.
When it looks to have no earthly
chance Of winning, it pulls out a vic
tory.
When its victory seems assured, the
enemy turns out to have merely ad-
jOurned for a cold lunch, and, coming
back refreshed like Dewey at Manila,
hands out a drUbbing to one or an
other of the Apostolic pitchers.
At the end Of the first half of the
seventh inning at Lexington park yes
terday. Chauncey Fishers Latter Day
Saints had eight runs, and Comiskey's
Original EYangelS had not garnered
single count.
At the end Of the last half Of the
ninth inning, which expired by limita-
ton COmiskey's group had nine runs,
one more than Fishers outfits, eight.
The celebrity with which the uncer-
tain COmiskeyans transformed a cave
of gloom into a bowling saturnalia Of
eXhilaration would make a fortune for
some nerve specialist, if its secret could
be prepared for sale at so cents per
bottle.
Denzer nearly lost his own game. He
nearly deserved to. After the visitors
got & lead he pitched as though there
was no pitch left in him. He does de-
serve credit for marked brace after
the locals counted that six, for he
came to taw then like a prince. But,
oh! how sad that vale Of tears from
$3.50 until about 4:45
A youthful individual named Daub
was in the box for Fishers team. The
locals only got five hits off him in
seven innings. But they punched three
Of these in the seventh inning, and the
Daub could not put his fiOurishes over
the plate, so when the eighth came on,
with the locals only two behind,
Chauncey Fisher went in to save his
own game
ChaunCey was not as wild as Daub,
but in the two innings he pitched St.
Paul made as many hits as they had
made during the seven innings of
Daub's service.
In the first inning DenZer struck out
Fleming and Sharpe, and Glenalvln
threw out Eustace.
Fred Roat beat Eddie Burke out Of
base hit by a fine stop on a hard drive
almost over second base. Geier was
given a base, but was caught off first
on a fine double when Eustace made
an unexpected stop of Glenalvin's ap-
parently sure liner.
In the second Denzer, Shugart and
Glenalvin threw out Deadly, Roat and
Wright, respectively.
Sharpe did as much for Isbell and
COmiskey, Shugart sending the ball to
Wright with his bat
After Shugart had thrown out Miller
and Holly in the third, Daub made
the first safe hit Of the game, dropping
the ball safe on the grass just inside
the foul line and between ISbell and
Gillen, who made his temperance in
the game. Fleming, however, forced
him out.
Gillen and Spies were thrown out by
Eustace and Roat and Fleming took
Denzer's fly.
Shugart's bad throw to Comiskey
gave Eustace a life as the fourth
opened, and Sharpe hit safely to left
he'd. Deadly gave Denzer a hunt fly,
but Roat took advantage of a wide
open field between Burke and Geier to
drive the ball for four bases. Wright
famed, and Miller was given four bad
ones. Holllngsworth flew to Burke.
The locals had several chances to
make up the lead at once. Burke was
hit by a pitched ball Geier raped a
hard one to Roat, who could not get It
to fist in shape. Geier stole second as
Burke had before him. Glenalvin was
were full but Sharpe threw Burke
out at the plate on Isbelrs grounder.
That Is to say, Umpire Mannassau de-
clared that Burke was thrown out. The
$50 people who occupied seats in the
stands largely differed from the official
arbiter. Shugart hit sharp one to
Sharpe, who reached and touched Is
bell, but did not throw TO first to COM
plete the double play that was needed
the reason being that he did not have
the ball. He claimed that Isbell had
taken it out Of his hands and carried il
along. Mannassau allowed an Inter
ference, and the locals were still blank
ed. -
Shugart and GilIen threw out Daub
and Fleming, while Burke took Eus-
tace's long fly.
After Eustace threw Comiskev ONT
Daub walked Gillen, but Spies popped
an easy one to Sharpe. Denzer, too,
was presented with base, but Burke
foced him and his side out.
Roger gave Sharpe a base on balls
after getting two strikes on him. This
was unfortunate, even annoying Deadly
struck out, but Roat hit safely and
Burke let the ball go through him.
Roat again made the circuit, and
Wright pounded out an honest home
run drive. Shugart threw out Miller
and HOlllngsworth, and ended the
agony.
~. Gaul SuDJectlOn TO untOWard cir
cumstances was clearly demonstrated
in the same inning, when Geier got a
base on balls and Glenalvin a two-basu
drive to left field, yet they could not
score. lsbel struck out, and Eustace
cut Geier off at the plate on Shugart's
grOunder. Shugart stole second. and a
good hit could have forced in two runs
but Comiskey gave Miller fly.
Daub hit a hot one at Shugart. and
beat it to first. Fleming put a. single
across Comiskey's garden patch. Eus-
tace sacrificed, and Sharpe's single
scored two more runs although Peck
threw himself away in order, possibly.
to prevent a play for a score that
would count at the plate. Gillen LET
Deady's grounder go through him. but
Roat fortunately flew out to Geier..
The locals only had three innings r.
overcome a lead Of eight runs, and the
outlook was somewhat depressing. But
Gillen redeemed his error by SMASHING
q good single to left field, even though
Spies did force him out at second. Roat
tried for double play after touching
second, but threw wild, and Heine went
to second Then Roger waited out four
bad ones and walked Burke drove a
