Waddell is not very pretty, euphoni-
Gus. rhythmical~ name to start with, and
Reuben Wadden does not help 1t much,
and the Reuben Wadden who is touring
the Northwestern states with Thomas J.
Lotus Columbus base ball club is not,
as matter of fact, the extracted essence
of any great American beauty show, and
his right hand couldn't pick up money
In the street but. OH how his mighty
left did NOW down the St. Paul batsmen
in short hour and a half or so at Lex
ington park yesterday. This left is attach
ed to one of two brawny shoulders that
look like the storage batteries of half
hundred winning games per season, and
LOTUS has not been overdrawing his ac-
count either. The st. Paul club does not
take kindly to southpaw pitchers, any
way, and when one comes who Is as big
as a house; with speed like bad news,
and crooks in his curves like the foreign
policy of a puzzled administration, the
Apostles are at a considerable disadvan-
tage. That was their predicament yester-
day, facing Mr. Wadden. Yes, Mr. Wad-
dell goes If he had lost it would have
been plain RUDE" There may be some
doubt as to whether Umpire Mannassau
did not give the locals shade the worst
of it a critical points, but the Columbian
guards We're really entitled to the game
on its merits. Geier was the only member
of the local aggregation who could Iinger
about the plate with any real degree of
assurance, and Waddell, with little help
from Mannassau, finally laid little Phil
with the daisies in the ninth.
Fisher pitched well, but not we'll
enough. Genins opened up on him when
the game started for a stiff single over
short, and Pickering beat a bunt But
Genins, who bears around with him an
air OF Importance entirely out of keep
ing with one who was dropped out Of
fast company as long ago as he was, was
caught mapping off second by a catcher
VINO never was in the big league except
for couple of buffet lunches with team
that never did get above twelfth place.
Then Frank forced Pickering and Shu-
CART got his third put-out for the inning
by leaping into the air to land a high
liner from the willow of Tebeau.
Burke flew to center, but Geier was so
much shorter than the big pitcher that
the latter could not get the bali right for
him, and Phil walked. Bierbauer made
a fine stop on hard drive by GlenaIvin,
but Lally hit a good one to center and
Geier scored. Dick Buckley failed to stop
the ball at the base line, and Lally went
around to third, but Isbel gave Bier
bauer another, and the side was out with
the locals off in front
SwartZ muffed Bierbauers fly, but Gil
len forced him out Then Leewe damned
a vicious one at second base. Shugart
made a good reach for it, but could not
collect the ball. Geier's tumble on Buck
ley not only filed the bases, but suoiled
ENicIoo
pitched himself out of the hole nicely
Waddell flew to Shugart and Genins he of

many swings of his trusty stick.
St. Paul should have done better in
the second. Shugart got a safe hit, stole
second, and went to third on a bad throw
by Buckley Spies walked on four wide
ones. and stole second, and all this before
any one was out. But, with the runners
where single safe would score a pair.
SWartZ and Fisher hit high drops to Bier

one at the Individual whose name trans
lated literally might be beer-bower. The
side was out without a score
Pickering 5 single, a grounder that tore
the strap off second base, and Franks
sacrifice were the beginning of the run

out by Bierbauer.
Geier then managed to disentangle one
OF the Waddellian flyers, and started If
for left field. And in this case. like hi
cycling in England, going to the left
was right, for Pickering did not get
that oaH out OF the cycle track until
Geier had tailed. Waddell neryouslv

few to Tebeau. Isbell forced Glen and
Shugart flew to Bierbauer
Gillen put high one safe between
Lally and Burke, and Leewe hunted.
He beat the bunt, but Geier made things
doubiy sure and tied the score for The
DISCOVERIES by throwing the ball to the
right field bleacher. Gillen scored and
Leewe went around to third, but there
he stood While Buckley and WaddeII
famed the air, and Genins, he of the
Importance self-confessed, retired the
side with gentle undula ting grounder
to Shugart.
Leewe threw out Spies and Swartz
struck out. Fisher gave Tebeau an easy
ore, and 1t was a tie, even all around
Then came pitchers battle royal.
Fisher threw Pickering out when he
tried to beat bunt, and Frank popped
a foul to Spies. Tebeau drove one at
Fisher that was really aimed for the
Lexington fence, but Fisher stuck I'm
one hand and the ball bounded directly
at a. right angle from its original direc
ton and went toward third base Geier
pounced on it like a cat and threw It
over to. first base before Fisher could
get his hand down to feel for possible
broken fingers.
After Burke famed Geier walked
again, but Glenalvin and LaIIy could not
get the leather out of the lines. and II
was still close.
Fisher threw out Bierbauer, and Shu-
CART cut off Gillen. Leewe went out on
a long foul, which Lally took well over
the line.
