Manager Ryan ana his men may not
90 well on a hot day and under a broll-
ing sun, but uaey are certainly the real
VhlnSS IN the mud. In the first place
yesterdays IA n came within an ace OF
putting a lot Of Minneapolis baseball
magnates out Of the business, for Jay
4 is always the amer day of the year
for attendance. TIE downpour tina cane
in the morning made it necessary to
call the morning game off and tie after
noon game at Nic0liet park, was played
in sea of mud and water with the ra n
coming down almost in torrents at mes.
Inc weather was so threatening jus. be-
Tore the afternoon game that bur a very
small crowd Ia. ned out. but tn .a@s
made up in ertAuiasm what they lacked
in numbers
The Saints had sweet revenge. They
did not pile Up seventeen runs. they
made only three. but that was more tEan
enough, for he Millers failed 70 get
man across tie Plate. Ii was disgrace-
dul enough to lie b, aten by a team that
had been defta-ed by so large SEQ
On the preV.ocs day but 1t was 5 mply

At the outso, j. was the general i'm

mount up into the Gouble figures. In tbs
the fans were happily disappoiEt, u aaJ,
considering the awful condition OF the
1ielo, both the Saints and MlIeri p ay, d
great game of bal. Cogan and Whit
ridge were at the points and Lo.h p n d
fne ball. The SAINTS gatherel u bul
three safe hts off Whitrldge while the
Millers landed five of Cogans twisters.
With exactly the same game on dry
field there wOuli have been but two ga q
drives with a pCs-iDility of but one ami
that one would have been three-hagEe-
made by Brain. All the other drives,
with the exception of one would have
been comparatively easy pickups on a
dry day. Tie enc exception was a
grounjer through huggins territory that
he came near getting yesterday ana prob
ably would have landed on a dry cay.
To sum 1t all up the Saints are entitled
10 all the credit possible for they We're
of the fact that the dope shows that
Whitridge had the best of the pitching,
for he struck out ten Saints, while Co
gan succeeded in tanning but five Millers.
But Cogan pitched himself out Of two
very tight holes, while Whitridge fell
down under like conditions. The teams
two made by Ryan We're followed by
nothing serious, while the two made by
the Millers We're made in the same in
ming, with two hits and q wild pitch and
two runs crossed the plate. Aside from
Ryan's two misplays the Saints played
beautiful ball retiring the Millers on four
ulncItIll OCCASIONS, WITH QOuDIe plays.
The Saints made their first two runs IN
the third inning. Holmes was first up
and went out from Whitridge to Law.
Wilson followed with a safe drive. and
went to second on Cogans hit, through
Brashears territory. In fielding the ball
back Law and McCreedie botA went
wrong. and Wilson crossed the plate,
while Cogan wound up on third and scor-
ed moment later on wild pitch. Lip-

by driving the ball to the left field fence
for three bags. IdppeTt scored but

That ended the run getting.
The Millers came dangerously near scor-
ing on two different occasions. The most
serious time for the Saints was in the
third, when COgan gave Congalton base
- on balls and hit Brashear. Donahue fol-
lowed with a safe hit, and the baseS
were full with but one cut. Cogan got
himself out of the hole by striking out
