The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-08-17
BY BILLY MAC.


On the reputation collected during
his fromer visit to this burg, Nicholas
Slivers Coughlin was due to smash
CHASTITY break into the winning streak
of the budding champs, but the dope
went bad again. Back in July Mr..
Strobel's narrow finger held the Saints
down to four safe ones and handed
them the mussed end of a to score.
Yesterday the two teams used the
same score, and to make the battle
complete reproduction Charles Chester
Ferguson appeared but this time the
ends weie switched and the winning
streak runs merrily on. Such bust
ness.
AS Sunday morning dawned without
any new cans arriving from Toledo,
the lobster champions spruced up
some and behaved in a real proper
manner. Full of ginger, they refused
to quit when the Saints pulled ahead
and knotted the score UP twice during
the afternoon. If thin Mr.. Coughlin
had only made good on that four-hit
reputation the band leader would have
pulled out of his crouch.
With it again warm enough to for
get about the winter oVercoat 1883 of
the populace stopped saving up and
carried their silver out to Lexington
park. When Strobel receives the set
tlement for the day he will wish he had
been here to see so many people in a
ball park at one time. Having landed
the lobster championship two times
running, Strobel is accustomed to feel
ing lonesome in the stands.
Fan Has a Fit.
In the main the fanatics passed a
pleasant afternoon. One enthusiastic
gent, however. became so wrought up
over the late hour finish worked in by
tho 1an6 that he IN nd ha
to be thoroughly soused with the pail
of water furnished Mr.. Coughlin, who,
for his width. is a great drinker.
Fortunately the stricken fanatic de-
layed his fit until the end of the con-
test and Coughlin cannot blame
shortage of water in his well for the
trimming.
Aside from the players and Mr..
Haskell, who inserted several decisions
that looked pretty bum when coming
from the best umpire in the league,
Mr.. Louis George Washington Liver
pool was the big feature of the after
noon. Without the aid Of mega
phone or any other mechanical device,
Mr.. Liverpool in four short calls, sue
ceeded in informing the folks present
that Toledo would remain in town for
game this afternoon. It is possible
that listening to Mr.. LiverpooPs clear
tones and his preliminary 'H-a-a-ay!"
is what put Mr.. Haskell in bad.
Ferguson worked a steady game for
the Saints and also worked with the
stick. During the clash he contrib
uted double and a welt for a base.
The single was worth more, as 1t
chased in a tally. The double put him
where he could have logged one in
when runs were needed mighty bad,
but he backed up started double steal
and was still at third when the time
for him to resume flinging them over
arrived.
CoughIin Drives in Runs.
Though Coughlin drew the rough
end, he ran up even with Ferguson
Like our pitcher he basted one two
sacker and a single, and like Charles
Chester he allowed ten blows against
his record. Concerning the runs the
thin boy was a large portion of the
entire bakery. His clouts sent in three
of the four tallies gathered in by the
rear guard during the affair."
Following their fixed custom, the
Saints opened the contest with a pair
of runs. Geier walked and Shannon
dropped one over young Mr. Balls
head. Jackson dumped bunt down
the first-base line and Geier and Shan
non moved along, while Jimmie was
being tagged by Turner. Middle
Schaefer flied to R. Schaub the sar-
dine fiend. but Higgins laced one
through the outfeld and Geier and
Shannon got in.
There was nothing more doing until
the third, when Smith raped one
down to Schaefer and Middle worked
in heave. Smith wsli so delighted at
being beyond the beginning bag that
he forgot his lines and went bad on on
his asleep-at-the-s witch turn. Childs
followed this with a single and Ogens
sent him in with a long one Shannon's
way. Owens tried to stretch the hit
and Shannon got him at second
Kleinow hit for two bases but Schaub
famed.
Toledo Ties Score.
The unfortunates lznotted the score
in the next, when Turner hit for two
bases and was sent along to the plate
on Coughlin's single.
Balls error gave Higgins life in
the sixth and Flournoy moved him to
second with a sacrifice. Wheeler hit
to right for two bases and Higgins
scored In the seventh, with two gone,
