mere was clear daylight between hutch
lsoh ana second, and Nance was fully
step behind the ball al first, and a wax
10y with glass eyes, enclosed in pack
ing SSseA at~the Union depot, could have
had less possibility of making a visual
mistake than had Mannassau.
1t is true, perhaps. that the runs these
decisions let in we're not enough of them
selves to have won the game but it is
also true that with two teams a tie, such
outrageous umpiring has a tendency to
disorganize the work of the worsted ag-
gregatiCn, and that was Just what hap
pened TO the Apostles thereafter. They
should have had a fighting chance after
the seventh, even had Mannassau given
them either one of the decisions on the
bases to both of which they were hon
estly entitled, let alone asking for their
just deserts from weathervane who was
blown about by the bleachers like Man
nassau.
The ruin was wrought In the seventh
timing, after McGill had presented Hutch
ison with base on balls. Davis hunted
and McGill got the ball to second while
Hutch was still two steps away. Man
nassau evidently forgot that Schwartz did
not have to touch the man for he called
him safe. Then Nance buuted TO the
right. Isbell went after 1t and Glen and
McGill went to the sack. Glen had his
foot RICH against the bag and got the
ball in time, but again Mannassau gave
the home team the margin OF three feet.
That filled the sacks and a single over
second and Andrews fine drive over Pres
tons head gave the Millers an almost
1Hsurmountable lead Of four. McGill made
n pretty catch of Werden's bunt fly and
nearly doubled Andrews at second, but
Schwartz lost the throw and Andrews
went to third. Abbatichio struck out,
but wild pitch scored Andrews before
Smith fouled to Spies. That made the
lead five.
Hutch threw McGill out and Burke and
Geier hit high ones.
Dixon drove hot one at Glenalvin in
a hard pla0D to field and Hutchinson hit
a clean one to right center. Schwartz
made a magnificent catch Of a hard fly
well back, and running backwards, which
helped considerably. Nance flew to Lally
and Dixon scored, but after Miller pitch
ed four wild ones, Andrews forced Hutch
out at third and it was 9 to 3.
TRYING TO CATCH UP.
Glenalvin hunted and beat 1t out. He
must have caught Mannassau in q re-
morseful state of mind A passed ball by
Dixon gave Glen second and he scored on
Lallys two-bagger to center. Isbell flew
to right and Dan went to third. Preston
drove it down the left foul line on the
sod and slid into second base. Lally
scored. Spies drove one into the air that
looked like a winner, but Davis made a
wonderful play and cut 1t off Preston
went to third, but, was left when Hutchi-
son threw out Schwartz.
Werden hit to center, and Abbatichio
to left, Smith sacrificed, Dixon walked,
filling the sacks. Hutchinson hit to Glen
alvin, but Isbell tried to play the bag
without having his foot on 1T. That forced
in run, and left the basis still full,
Davis sacrificed, forcing in another, but
Nance flew to Schwartz, and the agony
was over.
Andrews threw out McGill. and Smith
did much for Burke. Geier had to
make six runs to tie, but he struck out,
and avoided tedious delays.
WHEN IT WAS CLOSER.
Davis met the first ball Willie McGin
pat through for a two-base drive which
Jared the foundations Of the Nicollet
Avenue fence. Nance flew to LalIy, and
Wilmot couldn't get it by Glen, Schwartz
took Andrews liner and Davis died at
third.
Abbatichio's tumble gave Burke first,
but Geier forced him. Phil went to second
on a passed ball Glenalvin hit to left, and
inc first run was scored, when Nance
dropped the ball. Dixon's good throw
spoiled Glen's attempted steal, and Smith
threw out Lally.
Werden struck out, but Willie walked
the boy with the long name, Smith lifted
the ball over the right fence Just Inside
the foul line, and two runs came in
Schwartz went back for Dixon's rakish
fly, and Preston caught Hutchison's close
to the fence.
Hutchinson threw out Isbell and Smith
caught Preston's high one. Spies walked,
but was caught at second trying to steal
Davis beat q slow grounder to Geier
and Nance hunted and beat the ball, and
ran into McGill, who dropped It, Davis
went to third. Schwartz and Isbell caught
Nancy without letting Davis score. neatly
done, too, and then came Willie McGille
triumphant hour, for Wilmot the con-
ceited captain of the club famed the
air. and shamefully dragged his broken
heart to the club house. Andrews hard
grounder at Geier's left drove Davis In
but Werden went out on a light one to
1sbell. st. Paul needed two to tie
Schwartz began the good work with a
hot clip to left field, McGill flew to Smith.
Burke waited for four wide ones. A wild
pitch sent them ahead a sack Geier's
single over short drove them both in and
tied the score. Glenalvin flew to Nance.

start, but he caught him at second on a
good throw by Spies, Willie famed Smith.
