Yes, dear reader, the remains Of Co
lumbus win be shipped home.
The St. Paul team at Lexington park
yesterday afternoon submitted the Co
lumbus team to a final desccation
which prepares them for eternal repose
in the mausoleum of second division
history
The ColUmbians outbatted the Apos-
ties, but the religious order of COmis-
keyan monks played cleanly ball,
which is at least next to the cody ar
ticle, and won out in both events Of the
afternoon.
The Apostles were all stars yester-
day. Geier ran under Outfieid flies time
and again that made apparent home
runs absolute outs; Burke made sem
satiOnal catch of a long drive with
three men on bases that would no
doubt have won the second game for
Columbus; Shugart accepted twenty
chances at short in the two games
without an error; Preston batted out
the first game with a fine tWo-base
drive in the tenth inning; Cross ham,
mered the ball like the village black
smith making sparks fly, and every
one on the team stuck to his post like
stamp to a pOcketbOOk in warm
weather.
If Columbus has any one really to
blame for the loss of the games the
first should be charged to Frank, and
the second, possibly, to Jack Crooks,
although in the latter case the result
cannot be definitely fixed on the St
Paul boy.
HuIen had fouled to Spies and Cross
had thrown out WOlverton before Civ
Ing the visitors a start in the opening
session. Then Cross walked Frank and
Tebeau hit a long drive to center field,
and tried to get clear around on 1t.
He did get back on it, too, although
he fell short when he slid for home, and
had to crawl across the plate on his
hands and knees. Spies, however, had
to get away from the plate for a bad
throw and could not recover himself in
time to retire the Columbus captain.
Gillen gave Lally life, but threw
him out on Genins grOunder.
Burke opened for st. Paul with fine
line drive over third base. Geier flew
TO right, but Glen hit safely and
Franks delay in returning the ball let
Burke score. Isbell hit safely and Glen
scored on Shugart's fly to Lally. VOL
tiers walked Gillen and hit Preston, but
Spies, with three on the sacks, hit to
Hulen and the side was retired by a
very pretty stop.
Crooks MT 10 center anu went 10 sec
onG when Isbell let Geier's throw go
through him after little Phil had made
a glorious catch on Buckley's long
drive But Shugart caught Crooks a.
third on VOTERS grounder and Hulen
again fouled to Spies.
Geier's clean home run drive, amid d
trio of infeld outs, gave the locals the
lead IN the second. Neither side reach
ed first base in the third, VOTERS only
pitching three balls over the plate to
the St Paul trio.
Lally flew to Geier in the fourth, but
Genins drove out q hard one, and
Crooks put a lucky fly between Geier,
Shugart and Burke, none of them get
ting it. Buckley drove a hard one
across third base and one run scored.
WOlters flew to Geier and Hulen forced
Buckley out.
Two were out when George Cross got
two bases on a ball that the sun kept
Genins from seeing. WoivertOn's fun
bic gave Burke life, too, but Geier
could not saw the wood on that occa-
sion.
WOlverton tried to redeem his error
by a fine drive to short center. and
Spies threw badly to first on Franks
bunt. Shugart, however, picked off
WolvertOn at third on Tebeau's at
tempted sacrifice. Lally put fly safe
in right field but Frank dared not
come in on it, and three were strand
ed Wnen OTllloQ look 06nlnS IOul anu
Crooks hit a high one to Preston.
Istell beat a slow hit to Hulen and
Gillen hit safely, but neither could get
around. Buckley opened the sixth with
a two Dagger, and VOTERS grOunder to
Shugart advanced him. Hulen's single
scored him, and gave the visitors the
lead, but WolVerton flew to Preston,
and double could have ben made on
Franks ball had it been needed
Spies avenged Buckley by an equally
good two Dagger, and scored on pair
of we'll placed infield grOunders.
With two out, Genins hit safely, but
was caught trying to steal second.
There was some kicking on this deci-
sion.
Two Apostles were out when VOTERS
hit Shugart. Gillen drove a high one
to Frank.
Crooks was pretty close at first when
the eighth opened with a bunt to Cross,
but he was declared out. The next two
did not even get close.
Crooks threw Preston out, but Frank
muffed Spies long fly, and Cross
single was devoted to advancing them
both two sacks. Burke, however, flew
to Tebeau instead of bunting, and two
were stranded when Frank caught
Geiers fly.
WOlvertOn made a safe hit in the
ninth, but was doubled out. The game
was getting intensely interesting
Glen hit to Tebeau who threw to
VOTERS. There was a pretty close de-
cieion, but Glen was declared out. Is
bell flew to Hulen and Shugart hit an
easy one at Tebeau.
Tebeau was thrown out by Glenalvin
in the tenth, but Lally gave the game a
dubious aspect by clean drive to left
Genins, however, forced Dan out and
Crooks fly was taken in hand by Pres
ton.
VOTERS lost the game when he hit
nctn
vicious blow, and gained two bases.
Gillen, however, dared not score Buck
ley figured 1T would be a good idea to
give Spies four bad ones, and get a
forced play at the plate. He had VOL
ters do it. Crooks threw low, and Dick
could not get Sammy as he dashed
across the rubber with the winning
run. The score:
