Yesterdays game at Nicollet park was
decidedly CASTOR Alphonse affair, IN
which the millers finally had to yield and
accept the game.
1t was Il beg of you, to accept TINS
game. my dear Alphopse. from Mr.. Gas
ton Zalusky. To which. ''Not at all;
insist that you take the game" respond
ed Mr.. Alphonse Robert Lynch Alphopsef
\ Lynch was backed up in his request by
+ fAlphonse Kelly, Alphonse billiard, Al
phonse Huggins. Alphonse Shannon, Al
hphonse Lumley, and last, but not least,
Alphonse Alderman Cogan.
Against the protests Of this formidable
array of Alphonses, CASTOR Zalusky was
helpless, especially since Gastons Wllmot,g
4 M. Lynch, Phyle and all the rest OF the
CASTOR family, strenuously objected to
zalusky's display of generosity.
The millers scored only eight hits on
Cogan's delivery, but the seven timely
errors of the Alphonses, together with
the eight passes Issued by Cogan, counted
for nine runs. The Alphenses bumped
CASTOR Katoll nine several and distinct
times, but the big fellow pitched mas
least two occasions pulled himself out OF
tight places by superb displays Of nerve
and headwork. On one other occasion,
with Dillard on the tertiary sack, Zalusky
let the sphere slip through his fingers
Katoll covered the plate, and zalusky
to catch billiard, but he tried to run to
/ the plate himself, and the score was re-
corded. Again, with two out and Shan
non on third, Katoll was guilty of wild
pitch, allowing another score. The other
two marks on the tally sheet on the
saints side were the result Of a four
sacker swat by little Bobbie Lynch, fol-.
lowing a base contribution by Hur-
ley. w., 80 H. -
That was all the saints got, but for
long time it looked as if it would be
enough. Lynch managed to get around
the circuit in the first, and that was the
last doing on the millers' side until the
fourth. Alphonse Kelly took hand at
this point, and politely but firmly re-
fused to catch Perry Werden's dinky
fly. Perry was forced by Quillin, and
when Grant sent a blue-bottle to Lum-
ley, it looked as if 1t was all over, but
Zalusky redeemed himself by a corking
Jolt into the left garden. Chech hurried
the sphere back to Higgins, and 1t was
g. pretty hard question whether Zalusky
was caught at second, but Haskell said
safe. Thereupon Alphonse Higgins, not
to be outdone by his manager, hurled the
ball home to catch Quillin, but the sphere
went wild and zalusky reached third,
tallying shortly after on a double steal.
That was all there was doing until the
seventh. With the bases exhibiting the
S. R. o. sign. and two men already de-
CedSSQ, IL was up 10 GTdnL. he SSQC an
innocent looking bounder to Bobbie
Lynch, and the little shortstop did the
prize Alphonse stunt Of the day. He let
the hit slide way through into the cen
ter garden, and there Shannon booted 1t
for awhile. Meanwhile Phyle, -Werden
and Quillin all scampered like terriers
in the. direction Of home and arrived in
plenty Of time That put the nlillers two
/ to the good, but just to make it certain,
sAlphonses Kelly and Lynch allowed them
to make it three more in the eighth.
s The bunting Of Wilmot, Phyle and
f, Quillin was feature Of the day. Wilnot
got three sacrifices and one hit, while
Phyle and Quillin both beat out bunts.
One Of the managers martyrdoms scored
Lynch with the first run. .,
The st. Paul management, in the opin-
ion of most Of the fans, showed poor
Judgment in putting Lumley, who has
a bad ankle, in left field. He failed to

been easy catches for him, and 1t seemed
