The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-02

Cheered on by enthusiastic shouts,
such as fat head, Holsters, big stiffs,
and other terms or appreciation,
Charles Chester Ferguson and the
crippled team behind him strung nine
nothing signs along the Toledo bands
line of the score board. Score, to 0.
Thus does an obliging management
slump.
Treated to a daily list of stabbed toe,
rheumatism, head-end collision and
other exciting specialties, a straight
Shut-Out game of baseball apparently
palled on the loyal fanatics. Had P
Geier walked on Hans Kleinows map
when the acting shortstop hurried into
the third sack on his ear, or had some
obliging Toledo player mixed it up
with Mister Ffggmeier, it might have
turned out an enjoyable afternoon.
Ferguson Was a Star.
In the points it was c. Ferguson
against Mr.. Hughey. c. Ferguson was
Seared up right, and after the second
round the Toledo hand only hoped for
better times on the morrow. In the
second a bobble and two singles gave
the Hens their only real chance, but
the expected did not follow the two
singles. During the rest of the affair
c. Ferguson tossed in the puzzIing
brand, and there was practically moth
that Ferguson again failed to distrib-
ute passes.
In their first try just three Hens
faced Ferguson. Three high ones end
ed the round. Geier opened for the
Saints by rapping out a two-sacker
Shannon contributed a sacrifice. H.
Lumley clOuted one and Geier tailed
Higgins also bumped one. Lumley
went to third. A double steal was
started, but the Hens worked fast and
Lumley was tagged out by ]. Smith.
Toledo Had Chance.
Geier bobbled Kleinow's attempt in
the second and Gillls followed with a
single. Smith famed. Mock hit to
left and c. Chech stabbed the high
bound with his meat hand. The pitch
er-fielder whipped the ball to Geier
and Kleinow skinned his ear in trying
to slide safe. Graffius forced Mock at
second.
-. Peirce was stopped at first in the
ourth, but Marcan drew a base. Fer
guson singled. Geier went out. The
little shortstop and Charles Chester
came round when Shannon leaned
against one for three bags.
Higgins opened the fifth with a
single. He moved to the middle while
Chechs bunt was being hurried to first.
Peirce sent him the rest of the way
with long one worth two sacks.
The concluding tally was collected in
the sixth. c. Ferguson raped one
hard. Geier flew out, and Shannon was
stopped at first, but H. LumIey drew
another safe drive, and Higgins came
right behind with his fourth bingle for
the afternoon. G. Ferguson tailed, but
[4umley was tagged at the plate.
Put Man Out of Grounds.
Meany started off the eighth for the
Hens with a high one back of Kelley's
corner Kelley, after q hard run got
under the ball, but let it slip through
his hands.
You're a fat head" howled a fat
fanatic in the right bleacher. Several
other enthusiastic supporters also con-
tributed terms of endearment.
Then started the break up.
Mr.. Neff hurdled the barb wire fence
and started for the enthusiastic dele
cation with a rake handle. Holding the
rake in one hand and the price of ad-
mission in the other the hard working
groundkeeper pointed to the exit sign.
The fat fanatic refused the money, but
Mr.. Neff insisted, and the rake handle
followed the dismissed one down to
the Lexington avenue gate. Before
leaving the fat man declared himself
through with the st. Paul team. He
insisted that he would root the team
on to victory never again. Mr., Neff in
sisted right back that the manage
ment did not need his money. This
ended the incident. Score:
