GAMES SCHEDULED FOR TODAY.
Indianapolis at Minneapolis.
Ii would be difficult to imagine more
sorry spectacle than that presented by
the st. Paul Base Ball club yesterday.
Waddeu's mastery of them at critical
times was supreme. They might as well
have been hypnotized or locked in burglar
proof Safes as far as any Virility in their
batting of the ball was concerned. Reu-
ben was put in by Lotus with malice
prepense. and the leaders took another
tumble in the percentage table, as he ex'
pected. although they still hold first place
by small margin over Milwaukee.
Once the locals had three men on bases
and no one out. Did they score three
runs? No. Did they score two runs?
No. Did they score a run at all? NO.
They were whitewashed.
On another occasion they had two men
on bases, before any one was out. yet
they were equally abject in their slavery
to the cunning of Wadden Last Fri
day GlenalviE made a home run. He
has made one hit since. He made it in
the eighth inning yesterday. 1t was
wasted on the desert air like the frag
rance of a sandal wood silver in tigers
toe. If he had made ii in the third in
ming yesterday, it would have meant one
run AS it was he struck out II he had
made it in the fifth inning, when he came
up with three men on bases, it would
have meant two runs. He popped foul
to the Columbus captain. In the ninth
inning a hit would have brought the score
up little closer, but instead a double
play ended the game.
buckley gave st. Paul one of their
runs. and WaddelI the other two. There
wasn't a single good clean run batted out
all day. on the st. Paul side.
McGill was batted hard in but two in

Waddells fastest and the ball went down
the diamond with a ricochet movement
that made both WaddelT and Bierbauer
put their hands in their pockets for fear
they would get their fingers torn off. Is
bell played the hit and run flnely,. and as
Leewe moved up to catch lally at sec

left field. Lally went to third. Shugart
struck out, but Spies hit high foul and
Dick Buckley for once lost his bearings.

Waddell walked Mc(il to start the
third. and Burke beat a bunt so it looked
as though the locals ought to lengthen
their lead little. But Geier forced Nc
Gill out on bunt, and Burke was caught
at third on an attempt to steal. Glen
alvin struck out.
Shugart ate up Pickering's liner, but
McGill walked Frank. Tebeau forced him
out and after McGill hit Bierbauer, Gill
len gave Shugart a sharp drive which
was finely folded, and the visitors were
still runless.
Lally flew to Frank and the next two
failed to get the ball out OF the infield.
Leewe opened Columbus fifth with
hard two-base drive high in Lally's field,
and he went to third on Buckleys

that made no difference, as Genins bat

That gave the visitors a tie, but when
two bases on balls and Gillen's tumble
gave the locals full sacks with not a man
out. there was every prospect in the world
OF making it up. But Burke tapped an
easy one to Gillen, and Spies was cut off
at the plate. Geier gave Bierbauer one
equally as easy, and Swartz was caught
at the plate, and with the bases still full
GIenalvin gave Tebeau a miserable pop
up.
Frank drove grounder by Glenalvin
to open the sixth, and Tebeau's single
sent him to third. Bierbauer flew to Lally,
and Frank came in. Tebeau was caught
trying to make second on the fly. Gillen
lined one just inside the foul line for two
sacks to left, although the decision was
pretty close at second, and 1t looked as
though Sammy was out, Leewe's single
scored another, and the Columbians were
two ahead when Buckley gave Lally an
other fly.
Lally opened hopefully for the Saints
with his second single, but Isbell gave
