One fatal innfng-the seventh-took
from the Saints game that seemed as
good as won at Lexington park yester-
day.
For five innings Denzer was an enigma
y that the Millers could not solve. There
was some desultOry firing along the enc
my's line in the sixth, but in the seventh
they raked the locals along the whole
line. Fisher started the bombardment
and finished it, the side completely bat
ting around
There were three elements in this fatal
inning, any one of which might have
been charged with the trouble After
Fisher hammered a hard one to left field
for home run, Hutchinson pol1ed up a fly
ball which was permitted to drop be-
tween Shugart and Lally, who were
seemingly fearful of collision.
Denzer held them down, then Davis
giving Isbel a pop foul, and Carey fam
ming the air, when present of a sack to
the cOncessionaire was followed by a long
drive to right field by Andrews bat. Pres
ton lost the ball in the bright sun, and
stood and let it drop behind him to roll
on out on the green for a home run, tying
the score. That took the starch out of
the imperturbable Denzer, and Wcrden,
who had been batting high flies all day,
connected with the leather for two
base drive. Then Smith batted a hard
one toward Shugart, and the shortstop
would have gotten it but for particular
ly perverse bound which carried the bali
well out of his reach and over his head,
scoring Perry with the winning run as
it turned out Before Rogers hand re-
gained its cunning Abbatichio walked to
first, and Fisher poked single into left
that scored another run, Hutchinson fin
ally ending the agony with a foul to
Istell.
If Lally or Shugart had caught that
fly, or if Preston hadn't lost that sun
ball, st. Paul would have Won the game
handily.
The Millers did their whole business
then and there. Two hits were wasted
in the eighth after two were out, and it
took three to drive in one run that was
not needed in the ninth.
Two good singles and slow fielding gave
them one run in the third and Andrews
single and Smiths two-bagger made an
other in the sixth.
Those We're the only occasions on which
they were able to toy at all with the Den
Eerian curves.
The Apostles started off as though they
were going to let their light illuminate
the most remote precincts Of Lake Har-
riet in the Thirteenth ward Burke
sprung q bomb on Hutchinson in
the very opening that made the Cedar
Rapids boy wonder whether he had not
better get out Of the fighting
fellows take turn at saving
the national honor. Geier was thrown
out by the noble Roman, and Glenal-
vim famed with Burke still waiting at
third, but Lally poked a straight one into
center and scored the opening run.
Hutch forgot the 1899 rule, and balk
Tut Isbell on first, forcing Lally to second.
Then Shugart came up with a magnifi-
cent three-base drive, which made a total
of three before Preston's fly to the Flor
entine gave Umpire Haskell a chance to
sing welcome you're OUT in Hutchi-
sons ear.
The old fellow fooled them in the sec
ond, Denzer tanning, While Spies and
Burke hit in the air.
Geier started the third with a low liner
to Smith, and Glen flew out to Carey, but
Smith threw low and Lally was safe at
first again. Isbell however, gave Davis
a high one. and Hutch was content
Smiths tumble gave the veteran a bad
start in the fourth and Preston hunted
in the hope Of advancing Shugart. The
ball would have rolled foul, had not
Hutch stopped it just in time. 1t was too
late to catch either runner, and the
Saints were on the high road to victory,
otherwise Laurel avenue. Spies hunted,
too, and Hutch threw him out, when Den
ger came up and valiantly proceeded to
save his own game by driving a clean hit
into center field which scored both run
ners. Burke hunted and beat the ball,
and Hutchinson was rapidly turning gray,
but Geier flew to the Neapolitan and a
double play caught Roger off second.
In the sixth they fixed it d little safer,
apparently, when Glen. presented with
base on balls, was scored by Lally's sacri-
ice, and ISbelPS good drive to right field.
Denzer's second hit came too late In
the sixth to do any good.
Then came Minneapolis terrible slaugh-
ter, and when the Saints came to the
bat again a change had come over them.
Geier struck the ball high to Carey, and
Glen gave Fisher a pop foul Lally hit
q high one to Smith.
The eighth was just as bad. Isbell sent
fly to Davis, and Shugart struck out
Preston fouled to Fisher
The ninth was less blue but not more
resultful. Spies opened badly with an
other foul for Fisher, but Denzer gave it
q hopeful turn by landing on Willie
Hutchinson for his third consecutive safe
hit. ground drive that bounded out of
q Smiths reach. Burke poked a good one
into the outfield, and a home run would
tie the score for the locals, We're the man
of the hour present. Geier had the first
call on the Dewey business. and there is
no telling just what he might have done
had not Carey by a magnificent run.

fifty feet outside the foul line. Glenalvin
had to carry the world on his shoulders
then, and he proceeded to hammer a light
one to Smith, who lobbed the ball to sec
