Mr. Foreman's already mentioned
proclivity to hurl his official frame out
on the track ahead Of rapidly NOV
ing baseballs, aided by a short hiatus
in the think department used by VIII
lie Nance, made it possible for the
budding Champs to continue this
nerVe-racking race for the leadership.
Score. to l. Mr. Johnston's Orphans,
rather than emulate the Saints, drop
ped inning game to the Brewers,
and we are still tagging seven points
to the bad.
This contrary spirit displayed by the
Slab Town bunch is quite disgusting.
With these two towns listed through
out the country as twins, something
different might be expected. Instead,
every time the Saints wrench VIC
tory from the opposing team the Or
phans, rather than be agreeable, reach
out for the short end of a game and
generally get it. AS the Saints are
doing real WELL it is no wonder that
Mr.. Johnston is becoming an orator.
Although Mr.. Foreman's collision
with the ball greatly eXasperated D..
Gear and his pals, and filled the dig
nif1ed jumps with considerable pain
we are glad of the incident, as it con-
WINGED the few travelling men and 9TH
err strangers scattered in the 4, 517ethat
the st. Paul fanatics care merely for
clean, scientific baseball, and are not
victims of the sordid desire to win no
matter what the expense.
This all happened in the first round,
while p. Geier was waiting at third
Mr.. GeaEs team had collected one tall
ly in the first which also helped some
in proving a moment later that the
fanatics here are honest hearted folk
With it one to nothing, and Geier
on third, young Mr.. Gibson hurled a
wild one that j. Butler could not grab.
Not caring to miss chance, Mr..
Foreman refused to sidestep and the
ball caught him in the Stats. J. Butler
pursued it and got back to the plate
in time to get Geier, who slapped him
self against the gravel in a desperate
effort to knot up the score. ]. Butler
jabbed the ball against Phil, but the
dignified jumps was positive that he
had collided with the ball and the tally
counted.
This is explained in justice to Mr..
Foreman. Not understanding the
technical point involved, a number of
the populace believed the honest UNI
pira robber and told him this and
other names. Mr.. Foreman has been
called a lobster so often that he now
walks backward when returning from
the pitchers rubber to the plate. The
life of the jumps is indeed a happy
ore
Being slated to travel back South
with Mr.. Cantillons team, the Blue
and Gray bunch eXerted themselves to
make the trip a happy one and Few
Swat Gibson was sent in to trim the
Saints in a swift and nifty fashion.
Mr.. Gibsons nickname looked a mis-
take before the budding Champs
knocked off for the afternoon. Twelve
emphatic bingles were laced out be-
fore quitting time, and two doubles and
a triple protruded from the mass. Four
Of the singles and one of the doubles
were punched in the fourth and were
worth four earned runs. These TALES
were earned just, after Willie Nance
encountered the gap in his thinks
c. Chester Ferguson assisted con-
siderable in making it a most enjoy
able afternoon and if our esteemed
fellow citizen had numbered earlier
he would have shattered the strike out
record now carried around the circuit
in Willie McGills bat bag. After Charles
Chester began handing them around
the necks of the Gear troupe six men
tore large rents in the ambient. Very
good.
The Blues got their lone tally in the
