The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-07-26

With the last great Indian scout pre-
senting the holdup of a real Deadwood
stage coach, the rescue of a sailor
shipwrecked several hundred miles
from the coast, a genuine rapid-fir
Cat and many other entertaining fea-
lures, only ia fanatics were disap-
pointed when Willie Schriver called
the game in the middle part of the
third inning. Score when Willie stop
ped things 4 to 4.
The strenuous pace set by the ball
tossers of Mr.. Hickey's league gave
Willie Schriver the chance to stop it
all in time to make the rain checks
valuable. Willie is generally known as
the senior member of G. Tebeau's brace
of backstops. With Henie Spies slated
TO assist p. Flaherty in demonstrating
why big league clubs buy up curve
artists large portion of the visitors
bench was set aside for Willie, but the
fates interfered.
Mr. Ebright was expected to debut
as an American association jumps, but
he failed to come on, and Willie Schriv-
er understudied by request. Mr..
Ebrights failure to appear is partially
due to the shortage of umpires. Mr..
Hickey has signed Frank Figgmeier,
and is still advertising for others. One
Columbus man tried it for three days
and promises to be a wreck for the rest
of his time. Making proper railroad
connections Mr.. Figgmeier should ar
rive in time to save Willie Schriver this
afternoon.
SchriVer Explains 1t.
In calling it all off, Mr.. Schriver saw
ed n1llph POnf1Ciny, hTyr
According to the backstop's understudy
he found much difficulty in locating the
ball The others who are helping G.
Tebeau lead the league also suffered.
About the time Willie found it impossi-
BILE to keep up with it all things wSre
happening to P. Flaherty, future big
league twirler.
Mr. Schriver thought seriously of
using the few rain drops as an excuse,
but the seven faithful ones in the sun
stands refused to raise their umbrellas.
This compelled Willie to, after a con-
ference with Capt. Clymer, announce
that it was too dark for the men to
see the ball. Seeing a chance to use
the rain checks the ia interrupted Mr..
Schriver's address at appropriate inter-
walls with great applause
Mr.. SchriYer almost started trouble
right at the beginning. Following the
example set by J. Haskell, the human
mattress, the jumps of the Hickey
league have opened the games by an
nouncing the batteries to the stands.
Mr.. SChriver overlooked this little fea-
tuUe and injured the feelings of the
ia. Having refused to leave the cars
st the Wild West show the ia thought
the mana cement should appreciate it
A. Summel worked for the rejected
accident insurance risks and compeI-
ed the fanatics to keep their rain
shields open for two rounds. In the
concluding portion of the second P
Flaherty had a bad time and the seven
in the sun stands Immediately refused
TO notice the rain drops. 1t looked sun
shine and happiness from them on to
the Schriver speech.
Kerwin Starts Scoring
Kerwin started off for the leaders
right at the beginning. Bonner fol-
lowed the single with a clout for three
: sacks and Kerwin tailed. Odwell, a
new Colonel, who is trying to convince
, Hickey that he did not jump a con-
tract, raped one and Col. FIournoy
did likewise. Bonner scored on the
Odwel bump. Cannon attempted to
bunt on the third strike and sat down.
Schaub went out, Stimmel to Kelley
and Clymer from billiard to Kelley.
P. billiard opened the second with a
poke for one. Higgins sent one right
after the billiard poke. Chech sacri-
feed. Kelley batted one to right and
billiard and Higgins came round.
Peirce moved the manager along with
a single
At this point Col. Bonner mixed in
his great ball fighting speciality. Col.
Bonner is the only man in the league
who can stab a ball with each separate
finger without allowing the ball to
touch the ground. Just to demonstrate
that the speciality was not an accident,
Col. Bonner worked in two erlcores.
He speared and then fought drives by
Stimmel, ferguson and Shannon in
rapid succession. Lumley tried to give
him another chance, but he put 1t too
high and Col. Bonner squeezed 1t hard.
