AND BLACK SOX WON
MONTGOMERY WRESTED BALL
 GAME FROM ST. PAUL.
Locals Handed the Northwesterners Basket of Eggs Until the Seventh Inning-Score Was
 ' to 4.

Before what was undoubtedly the larg- est Saturday crowd of the present base ball season the Black Sox outpiayea 'ne ne St. Paul aggregation in every point or the baseball game yesterday afternoon.
 For seven innings the American Asso- riation team was shut out, the final score being M9ntgomery s. sss paSi dsc,s,xe victory belongs mainly to the box work of Os- car Streit and George Stultz the entire team played championship baseball hand ling the American Association team al times as if they had been amateurs. The manner in which the batters on the local team advanced runners by sacrificing was admirable and speaks volumes for the systematic team work that has been drill ed into them. The support given the pitchers was giltedged. The field went sfter everything and generally got what they went after, St. Paul only scoring in pne inning when Stultz let down.
 The way in which the locals held St. Paul thrcugh the seven innings proves exclusively that the Black Sox would have won Fridays game except for their going to pieces in one fatal inning, and If they play anything like the game to, surely make 1t two out of the three
 Kanzler, the first man up for the Black 6ox. was given pass to first. Spratt followed and that slow ball Davis was using proved his undoing and he struck out. A beautiful sacrifice by Molesworth advanced Kanzler, who promptly scored when Wheeler played mumblepeg with Whistler's hot hit.
 In the last half with shannon down Streit struck out Jackson, Marcan drew a base on balls. Shaeffer got hit and stole second but Kelly retired the side.
 Stic4ney, the first man up in the sec- ond, was hit by the ball. Clark made what was intended for. a sacrifice. but the St. Paul infield turned it into safe one. Then Bush lined out long single l1tr md s1 oh d. vanced everybody. With Kanzler down, spratt drove long hit that put Clark and Bush over with two more runs. Bush 8 being earned.
 In the last haE Streit struck out Pierce and Davis in succession.
 In the third Davis got busy and did some striking out for himself, Durett and Sticknev biting at he slow delivery in succession.
 It looked like a sure score in the last half, the bases being full, but Streit got shannon out at the plate and pulled him self out of bad hole by the cleverest kind of work.
 Davis struck Streit and Kanzler out in the fourth and in the last half Clark threw Wheeler out at second. the side be- ing retired.
 in the fifth Molesworth's slashing two bagser and Duretts long single put Molesworthy over the plate. making the score to 0 in favor of the locals.
 The feature of the last half was Clark s nara run TOT shannon IOul I1e sOt uII der 1t and pulled 1t down. Streit struck Shaeffer out leaving the score to o.
 Clark started the sixth with hit, ad- vanced on Bushs neat sacrifice and scored on Handlers single. Score. 6 to O.
 George Stuitz relieved Streit in the last half and retired the side without hit or run.
 Molesworth got a hit in the seventh. but was caught playing off first. Whist Ter was hit by the ball-the second for Davis during the game-and got around the bags by some dumb St. Paul work, scoring the seventh run of the game on Ike Durett's single.
 It looked like run again the last half. but Bush catching Shannons line hit and cutting off a pretty sure two-bag- ger, saved the day and caused an ova- tion from the bleachers for the Kid.
 Nothing was done by the locals in the first of the eighth. but in the last half something happened. and happened quick. With the score to o against them the St. Paul bunch which had never for a moment quit that dogged, never -say-die work of theirs, and with Jacksons home run and some punched singles put four runs over be- fore StultZ had assumed command again.
 In the ninth the locals were blanked, but St. Paul could do nothing in the last half. the final score being to in favor of the Black Sox. The score is:
