The Red Caps squared matters with
Des Moines yesterday. They not only
took the last game of the series, making
it three in a row, but they shut the
Chaseites out without giving them even
a ghost of a show to make a run.
1t was a glorious ending for the SERIES
just closed and one that was appre-
ciated by the more than 2,Co0 fans who
made the journey to the park.
Cook was in fine form, holding the v1s-
itOrs Gown to four scattering hits. He
was steady at all times, allowing no one
to walk, and was invincibie with men
on bases. This St Paul hoy, who has
come to the rescue when good pitcher
was needed, is entitled to much credit
But not all the honor must go to him.
Never did a pitcher receive better sup
port than that which was accorded Cook
yesterday The team played ball in Ma
tional league form. The outheld had
but one change, a difficult fly to Dillard,
which he smothered But the infield was
as busy as a nest of hornets from the
drop of the hat until the last man was
out Brain, Schafer, Higgins and Kelly
all dug balls out of the dust. cut off
line hits and covered bases like whirl-
winds. There was but one mishap and
that fell to the lot of Brain. but 'Davy'
more than made up for the error in the
rest of his play. Wilson. behind the bat,
was in rather poor throwing form, but
he caught a great game and he Is en-
titled to share honors with the rest, FOR
it must be remembered that Bill was
coaching Cook. The score tells how well
he did his work.
At bat Shannon and Dillard carried
away the blue ribbons, getting five Of the
seven hits made off Dammann Ryan
and Cook divided the other two The
rest of the men, with the exception Of
Huggins, We're on Dammann's staff
from start to finish. Hug" did net
have to hit because Dammann could
not get them over the plate for him,
giving him three passes.
VISITORS WE'RE OFF.
The visitors had bad day In the field
but, with the exception of one inning,
they succeeded in putting their errors
in where no damage resulted. Had they
played such a fielding game as that put
up by the RED Caps it is not i'm
probable that the team might be play
ing yet.
Several times during the game the
Saints put two men on bases, but it
was generally after two were out, and
not until the eighth were they able to
make the circuit Kelly opened the
lucky eighth" with a strike out.
Schafer bunted just in front Of the plate
and reached first on KleinoW's tumble,
stealing second a moment later, and
going TO third on Kleinow's bad throw.
Higgins drew four bad ones. Wilson
hit along the line to first base. An ef-
fort was made to cut Schafef off at the
plate, but it proved unsuccessful, and
the first tally Of the game was scored.
Wilson had landed safe and Huggins had
gone to second on the play to cut
Schafer off. double steal was attempt
ed and carried through, thanks to the
fact that Kleinow picked out the partic-
ular ball On which the steal was tried,
10 drop Cook hit to O'Leary and went
out at first, Huggins scoring. Shannon
scored Wilson with clean single. Shan
non was caught at second in trying to
steal Neither team got man to first
