run stood alone.
Geier's two Dagger, a nice drive over
ROat, put the locals in a position to
tie and tie they did. Shugart sacri-
feed. and Spies hit to distant left and
scored Geier after Gillen had fouled to
Eustace.
Eustace opened the third, and hit
safely over second base. Roat. how
ever, hunted a little fly to Phyle, and
Pickering gave Shugart a sky scraper.
Lyons confidenced Phyle out of base,
but the two were stranded Preston
fouled to Spies.
Burke and Miller hit easy ones to
Daub and Roat, and Glenalvin gave
Preston a fly.
Phyle struck out Hollingsworth and
McCauley, and Daub was caught out
by Shugart. Glasscock and Geier were
out on infield grounders before Shu-
CARTS single, wild pitch and a base
on balls for Gillen gave Spies another
chance to drive in runs, but this time
Heine was less successful, and Holly
threw him out.
After Spies caught Fleming's foul,
Eus tace hit hard one we'll back OF
Geier for two sacks. Geier tried to go
in the air for it, but could not accom-
plish anything of moment. Roat, how
ever, struck out, and Pickering hit a
fly to Geier.
Two grounders to Eustace and
Burke's strike out comprised ST. Paul's
fifth.
Lyons struck out to begin the sixth,
but at this point a game which had
previously been a. closely fielded, fine
exhibition descended into the plane Of
travesty and heart broken fans stood
aghast at the possibilities of unreliable
ity that certain of the st. Paul players

but Glen's feet slipped as he threw and
the ball went wild. Glasscock got the
throw and swung around to touch Pres
ton, both being off the base, but Can
tillon declared the Omahog safe. The
tall one stole second and went to third
on Spies bad throw to center field.
Holly batted safe one through the
diamond and scored one run. McCauley
lined another safe one through the lot.
Daub struck out, but Fleming's safe
drive let Holly cross the plate before
Eustace forced the third out on a
grounder 70 Shugart.
Glenalvin put a hard one over Holly's
head to open ST. Paul's half and went
to second when Roat threw Glasscock
out. But the next two hit flies to the
outfield and the score was unchanged.
The seventh inning, however, reached
the depths Of ignominy. Of five men
on fielding errors and the other on q
battery error.
Roat hit to Gillen, who threw straight
to Glasscock, but low. The ball went
right into Glasscock's mitt. but he
dropped 1t. and Roat was safe. Phyle
gave Pickering a base. Lyons hit to
Gillen. who stepped to hhs sack and
cut Roat off, then throwing to Glass
cock for a double play. Jack, however,
did not get his man, and the ball was
there in time, too. Preston hit a fly
to right and Miller muffed it. Holly
hit to Gillen, who threw to the plate
and cut Off Pickering. Spies threw to
first and another double play was
spoiled when Glasscock let the ball go
through into right field. and Lyons
scored. Preston and Hollingsworth
tried to work the double steal, but
Preston was caught at the plate.
Still 1t looked as though there was a
show for the locals when Gillen was
given a base, and stole another. Spies
hit to right field, and there was a
heart disease moment when Fleming
mufed the ball, but he caught it again
before it struck the ground, and saved
the Omahas' errorless record. Phyle
struck out, but Burke was given a
base. Miller wanted to drive them in
but Roat threw Burke out at second.

Even yet there was plenty Of oppor-

crowd stayed, If crowd 1t may be call.
ed. Chauncey Fisher resorted to the
cheap trick. which was once the special
pride of John Barnes, the substitution
Of a punk balr' for the one actually
In play. Burke called on Cantillon to
rule 1t out. Fisher insisted that 1t was
the ball that had been in play, but
Burke showed Cantillon the real ball
In Fishers possession, and after the
old ball was ruled out, threw it Into the
arch under the grand stand. But Fish
err then, instead Of having the sand to
stand by his own claims, made a whine
for the possession Of the punk" ball
thus admitting that he had tried to
impose on the umpire and the patrons
Of the game at the same time. It was
Just such a cheap trick as becomes q
pitcher who would never have been
heard of outside Of his own county
had he NOT been introduced to profess
sional base ball under the auspices of
club which far outstripped it's con-
tenporaries in skill? His career in the
big league was brief and inglorious'
and since he was disoWned by the Tn,
dianapolis club, his star has been on
the wane. 1.-THE passing Of Fisher" Will
be written soon, as deserves to be til :
