st. Paul regained third place in the
Western league race by winning the final
game of the opening intercity series at
Lexington park. The contest, which
leaves the Apostles ahead in percentage
and even with the Nfillers in games won
and lost between them, was notable
chiefly for ragged fielding on both sides
and the expenditure of large amount of
voice in some stale and unprofitable bad
image by one Andrews, who should have
been suspended by the league authorities
with his idol and model, the chief thug,
who led the mob down on Umpire Man
nassau Sunday last.
Andrews alleged merriment was wea~i-
some even to the Minneapolis people who
attended the game, and was condemned
openly.
One bright roseate star of hope gleam-
ed, however through the mist of uncer-
tainty that shrouded the game from start
to finish, and that was that Chauncey
Fisher was pitching a game worth watch
ing. He was entitled to a shut-out-but
had to be content with avenging his de-
feat of last week.
McNeely, who assisted by a three-base
hit in winning that game, was brought
right up on the firing line early yester-
day, too, and when three innings had
been finished McNeely was sent back to
the barn, and another colt was hurried
into the harness. This was Bandelin, the
youngster from the Badger university,
who did an exhibition heat here at the
April meeting at a 2:13 clip. Carrying
weight, as ne was yesterday, however
with a team behind him that ran bases
like canvasback ducks trying to dance
the cake-walk, Bandelin could not keep
up the speed, although he made the
Apostles attend strictly to their business
for the five innings that remained to him.
The first inning made things look as
though the Saints were going to be fallen
angels again. fallen before the shadow of
base ball team only, rather than the
substance at that. After Burke took Da-
Wis fly, Preston let a paltry single by
Nance go through his legs and the Mill
ers' Eeft' fielder made the entire circuit
before the. ball had been returned Shu-
CART, threw out Carey, who could not
swing the bat on Fisher as he did on Dem
Ter, and should really have thrown out
Andrews, who batted "a. low one. But
the shortstop let it go through his hands
and bound from one foot. Werdon
singled, hard drive straight down thu
diamond, but when he and Andrews tried
the double steal, Spies and Shugart, by
two pretty throws, nailed Andrews at
the plate. although he did, come in feet
first, though DESTROYS of spiking Spies
into the middle of next week.
Smith threw out Burke and Glenalvfn,
and Geier, who went to second when Da-
Wis let his single go through, was strand
ed when Lally flew to Carey.
Fisher lobbed Abbey-tackle-low's light
one to first and Smith flew to Burke.
FisheT-Knute Fisher, an they call him in
eapolis-fanned.
Three Saints failed to get the ball out
of the inf1eld. Shugart, be it said, did
hit safely, but two were already out, and
he got no further than first base.
McNeely opened the third with a single
that went scudding over first base like
the Minneapolis papers over the short
comings of their hired thugs, and it look
ed showery again for the Saints. But
Davis hunted and Isbell made a pretty
southpaw catch away over south of the
sack. Nance hit safely, McNeely going
70 third, and 1t looked suspicious for Min
,eapolis and suspicious for st. Paul, but
hey tried the double steal, and Spies and
Shugart worked them the same way
again, catching McNeely at the plate and
sending Nance back to first, who was
retired on Carey's easy grounder to Shu-
CART.
Then came the eclipse Of McNeeley
Chauncey damned the ball through second
base like q hungry Cuban hurrying to
relief headquarters, and although Burke
forced him cut, Geier hammered a hot
one over short and Eddie went on around
Nance tried to get him at the plate, but
ne threw several points to far to the
southwest by south, gad Geier went round
ing to locate the hall. Smith let G!an's
drive get away from him ard then An
drews, who did get the hall, threw Wild.
the result being that Glen went to third
behind Geiar, who scored. Lally poked
a safe one to left field and scored the
third run, but the next two went out on
outfleld flies.
Fisher walked Andrews and Werden met
the ball for another stiff drive straight
over second base. 1t looked as though
the MinneapoIitans would regain their
place, but Abbatichio fouled to Spies and
when Smith hit hot one to Fisher the
two and the team were doubled out
Bandelin went in and he threw out Shu-
CART, while Smith cared for the next two
batsmen.
Fisher flew out to Geier and Bandelin
famed. Davis was thrown out by Glen
alvin. Smith threw out Burke and Geier
few to Davis. Andrews cut Glen off at
first.
Nance fouled to Geier and shugart
threw out Carey again. Andrews flew to
Burke. The game was going fast and the
Millers We're not gaining much
I-ally hit safely again to start st. Paurs
sixth. Isben sacrificed. Preston put a
hot one shoulder high and close to second
base Smith reached for it with his mail
ed left and anaged to knock II down
but could not field 1t. Preston stole sec
ond unmolested. Lally could have come
in had he known how the Millers were
going to Jusgle the ball, but as it was
he was thrown out at the plate on Shu-
CARTS light rap to Andrews. 1t was up TO
Spies then to show his mettle, and he
did. Heine drove the leather thing away
out into the boss mountebanks garden
as quiet Sunday school before Christ
mas, with the statuesque Carey pIayins
