The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-23

Poor, old Rumpus Jones. How many
times has he tried to pitch his followers
to victory against st. Paul and how many
times has he failed. But he had one sat
isfaction yesterday that has been denied
him in times past, he was allowed to pitch
the game out in the opening series with
the eX-COlumbians, now styled Grand
Rapids. Bumpus did fairly well for the
first five innings, managing to keep the
hits made oft him so scattered that no
runs resulted. But after the fifth there
was awful slaughter, and a game that
looked for while as though it might ex-
\tend over an indefinite period ended in a
WaIkaway.
Katoll was in the box for the Saints and
pitched a splendid game of ball. In addt-
ton to the fact that the visitors could
not hit him with any degree of regu-
larity they put up a rocky game in
the field Crawford was the only man
among the visitors who could solve Ka-
tolls twisters and his solution only lasted
through two times at bat After that he
was as easy as the rest. Geier, Isbel
Hart and KatoIl were all in the game
with the stick, and while Katell is men
toned last. it was his two-base hit that
won the game for the Saints. 1t came
at time when the score was tie and
two Saints were planted on the sacks
The only error made by the Saints was a
tumble by HOutz in center. With this
enc exception, the Saints felded their
positions in fast time and accepted all
chances without a semblance of skip.
