took advantage Of the opening to sneak
across the plate before Spies foul ny
was garnered by Eustace.
Daub repeated a safe hit act to the
CONSERVATION of the locals BUT Fus-
tace struck out. Glenalvin's failure to
stop Griffins grounder was bad for
the home team but the skies cleared
again when Shugart stepped to second
with Roat's grounder and threw to
Glasscock for a double play.
Mullane put fly back Of short, and
it was only after fine stop high in the
air that Daub threw Preston out. But
Burke and Miller hit high ones and ST.
Paul was BANKED.
Lyons singled, but was caught nap
ping at first. Burnett's three Dagger
and Gillen's loss Of the ball, when 1t
was thrown in from the field, gave the
visitors one more run, frightening the
gap. The next two troubled little.
Glenalvin beat out short hit toward
third. GlaSScOck put a grOunder
through into Fishers field, and G,enal-
vim went to third, scoring on Shu Eart' s
fly to Griffin All this time the unusual
experience had occurred Of the ball not
going out of the lot, but Gi!len fouled
a ball into the netting on the stand,
one which Gillen pasted for three has IS
into deep left field. That brought the
locals within one Of tie with man
on third.
And the wire brought the news that
the Eoosiers had been beaten st.
Paul must win the game and lead the
league. The press box was in a shiver.
Daub gave Spies a base, and Comis-
key sent Phyle to bat. He got sack,
too, and there were three tenanted
then. Then Commy put the new boy

r.ere playing made it hard for the 10
Gals to gain point.
At a. critical stage in the seventh,
with two on bases and one run needed
10 tie. Mullane was taken out ana
Phyle substituted to bat He got
hose on balls, which did not help ma
terislly. and then Preston was super
seeded by Geier, the new acquisition
from Philadelphia.
Geier is a short, stocky individual.
With a determined manner and large
,oaIyas He bats left-handed, and is
evidentlv not afraid Of being hit by
nftched ball. But his first achievement
did not win him any Trafalgar square
ccnotaphs. Indeed, if his name is ever
illustrious, it will be Ior ms tIluiiipS W
later years, for yesterday his public
career paralleled very closely that OF
the fellow named Casey, whom De Wolf
Eopper has made famous After Geier
famed, the tanners guyed. Still there
vas a ray of hope left, but Burke only
hit Eustace a fair rap, and the ball
vas thrown out with commendable
promptness.
After Eustace went out on fly to
Preston, opening the first, series of
six successive hits, of which Burnett's
YVES for two bases, and on which the
visitors piled UP four runs, drove the
local fans to distraction and filled the
hleachers with dismay. When, how

,TwAs MILLERs' DAY OFF.
Clues Have an Easy Time Knock.
ing TvyirIers Out of the Box.

The Millers could not get together
yesterday, and the Kansas City aggre-
cation had things pretty nearly their
own way. 1t is not thought that pay
day had anything ito do with it, but
the fact remains that the Blues had
an easy time. The hometeam was par
ticularly weak in, the box. Figgemeier
was marked up on, the score board as
the twirler but he lasted but three
innings during which he was found
for two two-baggers and two singles,
besides letting two men walk. Cook.
his second appearance at home, was
put in in the fourth, and for a mo-
ment it looked as though he would
prove a phenom.2 The first two men
it was only a curtain raiser. He had
either reached the bottom of his bar
rel of curves or else he was smitten
with stage fright for the next two
men connected with the sphere for
good long singles. With two men on
bases McVicker, the fifth man up, got
four bad ones, and walked to first Cook
tried his best to locate the rubber, but
Wilson could not find good one and
walked to first, forcing in Slagle. Capt.
O'Hagan, who raped out a two-bag-
ger in the first and a single in the
third, was the next man to face the
young pitcher, but again Cook was I'M
able to satisfy the umpire with his
Strikes, and O'Hagan went to first,
forcing in Connoughton, making a to-
tai score for the visitors of seven runs.
The two runs secured by the Millers
in the sixth were brought in by a
three-b base hit by Ritter. In the ninth
the Millers started in with a vengeance.
and had 1T not been for too much
anxiety to save the day, might have
finished closer to the Blues. Smith
went out at first. Ritter got to the
initial bag by high throw by Will
Jams from third, and Rice found the
ball for a long hit to the right field.
Phillippi batted for Cook, and the fly
which he put in the air over the left
field went through Frisbee's hands,
and Phillippi reached first safely. The
trouble might have just begun had
not Phillippi tried to steal second, but,
in his attempt to do so, neat double
resulted Frisbee threw the ball from
the far left field in to Williams, the
third baseman, who was near second,
who returned 1t to O'Hagan at first,
who caught Phillippi between the
bases. Ritter was then on his way
home, but was nipped by Wilson re-
ceiving the ball at lightning speed
from O'Hagan, retiring the side. The
score: MI III.

center. Daub hunted, and Spies caught
the foul. Eustace fouIed, too. Spies
a cinch. Glen threw Griffin out, and
the locals started with Miller. Eus-
tace threw him out, Glenalvin hit one
to third, which Eustace was lucky to
stop. let alone any idea of throwing
1t out. Glen was safe. Glasscock's
grounder through Roats position as
Fred went to cover second was a pretty
exemplificatiOn of the hit and run syS-
tenn. Shugart flew out to Griffin, now
more reliable than earlier, Shugart hit
weak one to Daub, and again the
locals were hopeless. when Gillen gave
another assist to the redoubtable Eus-
tace.
Roat opened the ninth with a two
Dagger, just inside the foul line. Worse
and more of it. Lyons single scored
him, but Spies threw the fat boy out
at second for revenge, after Burnett
had famed. Phyle, however, walked
McCauley. Hollingsworth hit to right,
and Heines first passed ball this sea-
son advanced the runners a base.
Fisher, however, hit to Phyle, ana
ended the final inning with the locals
two down and the small end Of the
batting order coming.
But these batting orders are funny
things. Sometimes the little end swells
out and the big end falls down. Spies
hit to Eustace, who threw perfectly,
but Lyons again dropped the ball.
The fans rubbed their eyes. 1t was
almost too good to be true Phyle
flew out to Fisher. Geier raped a
mussy one to Hollingsworth, who got
his shin against it, and, while it was
trying to get down close enough for
him to nail it, Geier had reached first,
and Spies went on to third, with some
audacity, for it was a desperate case,
in Spies opinion. He barely beat the
ball, but it was not held, anyway.
Burke's single five feet west of Roat
scored one. Another would tie. Miller
was thrown out by Roat, and still it
was needed. Glenalvin had three balls
and two strikes. An idea struck Daub.
1t must have made a smear. He tossed
the ball to McCauley. where Glen
could hardly have reached it with a
billiard cue.
And Glasscock was next to bat What
was the scheme? No one knew. And
that does not bar Daub, either, prob
ably. II ne knew then he wonders now
what ever put the idea into his head.
The first ball he pitched was smashed
by the captain of the APOSTLE aggre-
cation so far that if it had been fair it
would have won the game. And even
before his allotted number of balls and
strikes had been exhausted, Jack met
the twirling horse hide with his sturdy
stick, and away over toward Lowry's
switch, where multitudes waited for
the wagons Of war, and the white strip
ed boys in blue babe fond adieus to
summer girls, away out there, almost,
a desolate, Selkirkian fielder found a
ball. Two whfte-robed Saints in pro-
cession crossed the rubber, and from
1000 threats went up exulant shouts,
while sharp sound from the pitchers
box. akin to the report of a flobert
rifle, marked the explosion of an over
charged idea.
ST. Paul had won it at the wire.
The score:
