The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-07-20
GAMES TODAY.
Minneapolis at st. Paul.

Double headers were always hoodoos
to the Saints and yesterdays was no
exception, and the best that the
champs in embryo could do was to
take one game. They played splendid
ball in the first game and would have
won if the other fellows had not
played better. For nine innings the
game was a battle royal but the
strain told on Fergy in the tenth and
Bill Bailey came home in a walk.
Things too numerous to mention might
have happened to have changed the
result, but they did not and they are
therefore not worth chronicling. But
it was heartrending to see Jimmie
Jackson perched on third in the sixth
waiting for the swat of any old kind
that never came.
Mr.. Bailey has often been much of
stumbling block to the Saints and yes
terday they were easy victims. Only
in the first inning did he allow more
than one hit, and the two that came
then went for nothing. Outside of the
sixth inning, when Jackson, the first
man up, got a three-bagger, the only
inning in which the Saints were dan
gerous was the seventh, when Bailey
was generous and issued two passes,
and they were followed by a smash to
center by Shannon. Wheeler was at
third before Damon got the ball. but
Jimmie made a perfect throw to the
plate and Eddie was out several feet.
1t was a hard game for Ferguson to
lose, for up to the eighth inning he
pitched shutout ball. The DISCOVERIES
by that time got the holes in their
bats plugged and cracked out eight
hits in the last three innings. Fergu
son was as steady as could be and did
not issue a single pass.
The DISCOVERIES also had a three
Dagger wasted, for Raymer could not
help Turner along after Terry had
laced out one in the first innig when
two were gone. After that it took until
the sixth for the first Discoverer to get
to second. Arndt purloining the sack
after singing. In the eighth Wagner
hit safe but died at second when Bailey
tried to sacrifice. Morrrissey and Arndt
then came along with singles that
brought Bailey in with the first run.
Turner hit to Higgins, who headed
Morrissey off at the plate and Raymer
famed. Morrissey started the tenth
with a two Dagger. Arndt hit one out
to Jackson and the throw to third to
head Morrissey off went to the grand
stand. Morrissey scoring and Arndt 60
ing to third. Turner's single scored
the last run, for the next three men
failed to get the ball outside the
diamond
The only run for the Saints came
In the eighth when Schafer's long fly
followed Jackson's second three Dagger.
Things looked promising in the tenth
for while when Bailey gave two
bases but he struck two out and Jack
son died at first.
The Saints got after Berger early
In the second game. After Geier was
ont in the first inning, Shannon singled.
Jackson flew out and Schaefer singled
Shannon had stolen second and scored
on Germany'S hit. Schaefer also stole
second and scored when Higgins hit
safe. In the second with one gone
Sullivan hit for two bases. Chech drew
pass and Geiers single scored Sui
Ivan. Chech scored on Jackson's out
Chech got to first in the fourth on
Turner's error. Geier flew out and
Shannon drew base. Chech scored
on Morrissey's error and then Schaefer
and Shannon worked the double steal
Shannon scoring. This was all for the
Saints, for after this Berger made them
be good. f-I
The only tally for the visitors came
In the seventh. With one gone Ray
mer hit for two bases and singles fol-
lowing by McMa.kin and Roach scored
him. Turner and Raymer got two
baggers in the first and fourth but out
side of the seventh they were the only
men to reach second.
