The merry bang of the little red
packages of giant powder and the
saucy crack of the amateur gatlings
got Robbie Lynch yesterday morning.
Robert thought he was entered in a
Fourth Of July field meet and out after
the record for heaving baseball. Rob
ert mixed his thought in the ninth,
when the score stood l to l. The heave
took the ball over to the bleachers,
and put w. WilmOt on the second sack.
Other unfortunate things arrived at
this time, and we only had two out
when the Millers reported enough to
win. Score, to 1.
Owing to the disastrous happenings
the Saints were only able to make it
an even break in the double function
pulled off on account of 1t being the
glorious Fourth. An even break was
good enough, for when little Willie was
trying to beat the sun to the front
porch the rain clouds pushed up and it
looked like nothing doing with the gate
money. Considering that the rain put
in rather busy day, G. Lennon and
w. Wilmot were satisfied with the
division.
Association Still Lives.
We might pause in this narrative to
announce that the American associa-
ton is still doing business, and another
guess has been forwarded to one Sex
ton, pipe dreamer of the National As
SOciation of Minor Leagues Sexton
announced in an official bulletin that
yesterday would see the finish of the
outlaw" league Sexton will now
change brands.
7. Hickey, league president, graced
the two affairs with his presence
Timid ones insisted that Mr. Hickey
came to watch the two towns that were
to be grabbed up when the smash
came. This was a foolish idea The
league president is headed for a ten
day fishing trip. The money is COM
ing in so fast from the different towns
that the board of directors have order
ed him to go out and lose a portion
of the surplus. Thus is another Sex
ton hope blasted.
In the morning game Charles Chech
understudied for H. Lumley in the
right plot. Lumley still has his health,
but 1t was so cloudy when the hotel
clerk called him for the morning game
that he could not find his half hose
Harry never lived any farther West
than St Paul, so he refused to start
without the socks. He reached Nicollet
park late and Manager Mike made him
sit on the tardy scholar seat all
through the game. This was a stern
lesson for the flock, and the men will
be on time after this, even if they have
to use barrels.
katolI and cribbins.
Big Katoll served for the MilIers.
and Knobs Cribbins started to lead the
Saints the right way during the morn
ing excitement. 1t was even up all
through until Robbie Lynch tried to
break the throwing record.
The Saints scored their only one in
the first when Geier was passed. Dill.
lard went out, but Shannon hit for two
sacks. Geier came in. Shannon wait
ed on the paths for Kelley went out on
an infield play and Chech famed.
w. Wilmot scored the two Miller
runs. The manager was passed in the
second. Werden sacrificed, and M.
Lynch sent him in with a safe one.
Curley moved M. Lynch along with
sacrifice, but Byers flew out
In the ninth Wilmot gave Robbie
Lynch his chance. Several fanatics in
the first base bleacher ducked the
throw and Wilmot went to second.
While Werden was being stopped he
went to third and scored when the
Minneapolis Lynch sent a long one p.
billiards. way Here luncheon was an
noupced.
More Rain Before Game.
1t rained some more during the inter-
mission and for time it looked like an
afternoon vacation for the teams. but
the sun broke in for several minutes
and the second part was saved. Super
, visor TrfggS and his assistant ticket
choppers geared the turnstile up for
$4,000 run, but this order was issued
before the rain. The turnstile was not
strained.
LEFTY Sporer was pushed forward by
w. Wilmot, who acted as though he
wanted both games. A doubIe-header
cracked even, one game in each town
compels a general feeling of content.
but Wilmot is too busy watching the
percentage table to give sentiment q
working chance.
G. Ferguson was announced by Mr.
Haskell as the throwing end of the St
Paul battery. Mr.. Haskell succeeds
Mr. Ward, who succeeded Mr.. Tindill
Mr.. Haskell is distinguished from other
members of the staff of umpires bv his
voice. When a small boy he fell off
the porch of his fathers house and Sc
Verely jolted large portion of his up
per register. The crack is still there
and Mr.. Haskell beats the human
steamboat whistle several ways in
making his ball and strike announce
ments.
With Lefty Sporer claiming st. Paul
as his winter home a large delegation
from West Seventh street forgot the
many picnics and assisted in filling the
nrSC DaSe DleaCner. Th1S aDDarentlV
made the sidewheeler nervous, and be-
fore he recovered 1t was practically all
over.
Geier Hit for Three.
Lefty started by throwing the right
one to p. Geier and as the clout sent
the ball too high for Dan Lally, Geier
went on to third. He might have
stretched it all the way, but lost sew
eral seconds in separating his feet
from his footprints in the mud as he
hurried round. billiard singled and
Geier came in. Shannon sacrificed and
Grant bungled Kelley forced DilIard
and Lumley forced Shannon. Higgins
singled and Kelley scored. Peirce end
ed the round.
The Millers got their first one In the
fourth. Lally few out. WiImot sin
gled and Werden hit to Lynch. The
new shortstop started a double pIay.
but Huggins threw high to Kelley and
Werden got to second. M. Lynch scored
him with long single. M. Lynch tried
to stretch the hit and was stopped at
second.
In the fourth a hit, sacrifice and an
~ error gave the Saints another. Two
were collected in the fifth, when Sporer
made the delegation from Seventh
street feel bad. billiard singled. Shan
non hit for two sacks, Kelley singled.
