3 Determined to have his troopers pho
tographed as the champions Of the
American association, G. Tebeau in
duced the Minneapolis management to
forfeit games to Looieville yesterday
afternoon on a twelve minute sched-
ule. The daring move compelled the
Saints to leave their monday beans
untouched in order to reach the ball
park in time to lose the necessary
three in a row to the Indians before
the sun reached its sink. This great
sacrifice on the part of Mr.. Kelley's
young men turned the trick. The In
dams are it. Hooray! Scores to 1,
8 to and II to z. The results show
that the Indians had a hard time win
ming the championship. Very bum
irony.
The 140 fanatics who believed that
1T was all real can at least pride them
selves upon finishing with the winning
side in this clash of master brains. 1t
is worth four bits when you remember
that you helped win a pennant. After
Mr.. Hickey has convinced himself that
the baseball public will forget all about
the comic opera finish Of his high
moral league. before the May bells
sprout again he will enjoy the joke, too.
! Colonies Had 1t Coming.
G. Tebeau had it all coming his way
Af,,I
framed up a clever little plan for
smothering the small lead held by the
Indians. Three clashes were arranged
with the Millers and the Millers were
instructed to move into the tardy-
scholar class. With the Looieville mob
tearing about the diamond looking for
chance to land another win and the
Millers concealed in the club house. all
was easy. G. Tebeau was not even
taking chances. It's faster. surer and
cheaper to land forfeited games.
G. Tindill should have been here to
thwart the fell designs, but the honest
jumps having reached the park box Of
flee three feet ahead Of Willie Schriv-
er's bat on that Sunday afternoon re-
fused to take another chance. It was
the last day. and then, too, G. Tindill
had several letters to write.
The Saints and the Indians were at
least decent in their work. The Mil
1ers and Looieville bunch worked much
to the No. sandpaper. With G. Tin
dill missing, Cy Terrence, who having
jumped contract stopped at nothing,
bravely paraded out in front of the
Miller stands and declared in a voice
choked with sobs and tobacco Juice
that his team mates being delayed at
nm hn6
Looieville. Mr.. Terrence made it
strong by introducing himself the act
ing umpire Of the affair, one Mr.. Cy
Terrence.
After a twelve minute wait Mr.. Tor
renee swallowed another sob and came
out to do it over again. G. Tebeau
heard it and sent Mr.. Wilbur down for
a design of the pennant. Then, will
ing to give the fanatics something for
their money, the Millers were brought
to the park and Looieville won
game.
Played Two Games.
AS several of the deluded ones in
the stands insisted that they had paid
the gate for double bill the cautious
management consented to play another
game. The Millers scored the lead in
this one and Mr. Wilbur dug his way
through the empty seats to the press
OOA " CAplcblll IIllI II was IueE6lY an
exhibition. The Looieville bunch fin
ished first and Cap'n Clymer informed
the simple reporters that it was one
of the regular games. How could we
lose?
While all this was happening UP the
river the Saints turned loose their
three in row. Suthoff worked
through the first one for the Indians.
Miller obliged for the Saints. Suthoff
having won three games in two days
should have an easy time moving up
into fast company. This game was a
beautiful pitchers battle. Another
joke.
Miller and Sutthoff were geared up
right and all through the play one
could hardly see that the Indians were
going to win out. The Saints worked
a single and double for a run in
the fourth and fearing that a cyclone
might come up and end it there the
Indians scored one right back in their
part. Miller had g. brief bad time in
the~f1fth and three singles gave the win
to the Indians by the close score of 3
to 1. Most exciting.
Saints Took the Lead.
In the second hard fought clash the
Saints scored one in the fourth and had
SLne pleasure of leading for two rounds
Nearer to the flags the Indians APP
peared to be taking fearful chances
The grand stand might have caught on
fire.
Three singles and base on balls
gave the elected champions the lead
again. The Saints tied it UP in the
ninth, but after Hogriever had been
walked Chech heaved Fox's bunt
about mile. G. Hogriever compelled
several thrills by his mad dash for the
plate. Lumley, not taking any
chances on Hogriever slipping and
breaking leg, waited for the high sign
Sbefore finding the ball. G. Hogriever's
arun won this game.
Even G. Rauschaupt, business part
sner to Sage Watkins, felt worried
about third desperate struggle.
II Stung to madness by the two I'm
expected defeats the Saints started
after Sutthoff in the third game and
before they knew 1t had piled up two
runs. Employing great self-restraint
they managed to stop scoring for a
round. The Indians got a chance In
the first part of the fourth and scored
four. This gave the Saints more lee
way and they continued the chase fol
tallies.
Two were collected in the fourth and
