For the first time this season the St.
Paul base ball club was hissed at Lex
ington park yesterday.
This does not impute to the gathering
impoliteness or unmannerly conduct II
the 700 who visited the park in spite of
threatening skies had not been reared
amid the cultured influences of Chris
tian homes and taught the virtues Of
tolerance by squirming long under the
seemingly dilatory diplomacy of Presi-
dent Mckinley, they might have thrown
pop bottles at the players, Or per-
chance chased the second baseman off
the field
The play of the st. Paul team in the
sixth and seventh innings Of yester-
days game was the worst that ever.
Eight fielding errors in one team is
not pennant-winning ball. The only
ribbon it could ever get would be off
the top of an export beer bottle. WheE
six of these errors are grouped in two
consecutive innings, then there is an
end to patience.
And eminently the most putrid
exponent of the application of decay
to original atoms of base ball playing
sense was an Irishman named Bowling.
who, in his youth, became infatuated
with the rhythmic poetry of Sir Walter
Scott, and when he became a ball play
er assumed the non de diamonde of
'Glenalvin." There was nothing so
easy that this man could not make a
holy show OF himself He muffed flies.

toes with a deprecatory abandon that
might have signified that base ball was
only pastime for HIM, however it
might torture the spectators who had
paid their cash to see it.
Mr.. Downing had abb e assistants. But
their sins paled into dimness beside the
egregious inefficiency of this Dewling
Milwaukee did not play a star game,
but it had the merit of winning.
One bright spot in the cave of gloom
into which the locals fell yesterday
was the pitching of Phyle. The swar-
thy youngster held the Brewers down
to five safe hits. Taylor, on the other
hand, was batted for six.
Nicol opened with his regular num-
ber, a safe hit. but Barnes famed.
Nick was doubled out by Shugart on
Daly's grounder. Taylor threw Burke
out, but Barnes fumbled the ball a
moment and Miller beat it to first But
Miller was caught trying to make sec
ond before Glenalvin put a nice single
through the visitors infiield at second,
and Glasscock was thrown out by
DAILY.
Weaver gave Phyle pop-up on an
unsuccessful trial for a bunt. Glen
alvin's first appearance in the error
column gave Stafford base, which he
lost tying to steal second. Waldron
few out to Burke.
Weaver cauob Gpipr'S high one hI1t
Shugart hit Leewe one which was too
hot to field, and Taylor gave Gillen a
base. Spies. however, famed, and
Phyle popped up a foul to Speer.
Burke, although he slipped and sat
down, caught Leewe's high drive, and
Miller raked in Speer's fly. Glass
Geek took Taylor's foul, but Burke
, struck out, Barnes threw out Miller.
and Leewe gobled Glenalvin's fly, so
honors were easy.
Opening with Nicol in the fourth as
in the first. Nicol hit safely, Barnes
three-ballS, and seven fouls, hit a fly
to Geier. Weaver's three-base drive
scored one before Stafford struck out
Two were out when Shugart vast d!
a two-hase drive to left, Gillen sending
liner to Leewe.
Two were likewise out for Milwaukee
when Glenalvin got his hands and feet
out helping things any. Taylor fol-
lowed with a two-base drive to right
field, and only sharp fielding of
NicoTs grounder saved scoring there
Leewe's sensational left-handed scoop
of a hard ball beat Spies out of base
hit. Phyle famed. Burke got a base
and Miller hit, but Barnes, after a
tumble, threw Glenalvin out.
Phyle opened the sixth by hitting
Barnes on the arm. Daily sacrificed
but Weaver famed, Glenalvin muffed
Stafford's easy fly, and Shugart friled
to clasp Waldron's grounder. This,
with Spies bad throw to second, was
sufficient to give the visitors two runs
Glasscock hit a sharp one to Daily,
who got it. but dropped it. There was
a close decision at first given to the
runner. Geier's hot grounder to right
and Shugart's long foul to Waldron
drove in the run. Speer hit to Glass
Geek who threw to Phyle on the bag.
Phyle dropped the ball. Taylor hit to
Glcnalvin, who threw low to Shugart,
and both were safe. Gillen threw low
on NicoPs ground drive, filling the
sacks ahead of Barnes stiff hit to
Sbugart, which drove in two runs.
That ended the scoring. Gillen did
open the ninth with a nice drive that
went through both Barnes and Leewe,
