The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-09

Just when Harold Slugs AllemangS
fourth round explosion doomed up as
the most plausible explanation of how
the trimming happened, Charles Angus
Mcdonald, the renowned sidewheel
singer now touring with the Orphan
band, detonated with loud report that
made Slugs' effort look like a damp
firecracker, and, as G. Adam Yeager
and his minions hurried to the rescue
with a burst of support that resembled
mostly the fringe of an order of Roche
fort, it was easy. Score, 10 to 5.
Taken altogether it was a most en-
joyable afternoon. Aside from the
blowing upsof Charles Angus and the
few clapboards torn off Mr.. Allemang,
the 1900 and the additional ten from
Slab Town enjoyed three rough and
tumble fights and a threatened boycott
of our new yard by the sign painters
union. This is certainly punching the
special features for the sere and yellow
season.
An enthusiastic local fanatic and one
of the ten from Minneapolis furnished
the first special turn. Having followed
the Orphans all the way over, the citi-
zen of our sister city attempted to
cheer on his nine pals by announcing
that the cellar candidates were about to
make the proud Saints look less Valu-
able than a beer check in North Da-
kota. About this time our fanatic sug-
gested that the Minneapolis gents hypo
had become clogged and then police
interferred.
Sergt. Twohy responded to two sub
sequent calls, but as these came from
the bleachers they were worthy of
nothing more than mere mention. 1t
is reported than one peanut butcher
connected with the refreshment de-
partment had his left ear severity
chewed, but we can feel no sympathy
for him.
The boycott muttering began when
the management attempted to an
nounce that double decker would be
worked into this series. Having car
rled his Speller and other books back
to the school that opened yesterday,
the score boy was handicapped, and E.
Pierce. late of the wisconsin univer-
sity, was sent to revise the inscription.
Pierce printed two games tomorrow"
without break, but failed to display
his union card. Had this fearful mis-
take been worked in just the day pre-
vious there is no telling what might
have happened.
Teaser Is Disappointed.
The loss Of this contest by the Or
phans was a great blow to the advo-
Gates of head work. With G. Yeager
at the helm better things were looked
for. While the catcher-manage of the
Slab Town unfortunates has nothing
over young Mr.. Ludwig when it comes
to hurting them high, his strong point
has always been his noodle work
Mr. 4eager deserved better luck. 1t
was all the fault of his pals. To prove this
we need but cite a few instances. Once
with Middle Schaefer resting near first
after his walk through the goo to that bag
the heady catcher let go without warning
and le9Va0 at SnnOnar'S feet
ing nothing but shoes on his paddles,
Spooner failed to get the heave and Shan
non scored Jimmie Jackson went to
third. If Spooner had only used his head.
Later Yeager used his block again and
slammed one at the bra back of Ian Nc
Intyre, who would have been watching
for the ball had he been playing a think
ing game. All this is told merely to
show how brainy leader can be handi-
capped.
Another improvement has been noted
at the new yard. Since the team left on
its last Eastern jaunt Mr.. Donovan and
crew OF grass architects have been
hard at work FASTING sod all over the
outfield- Yesterday, playing for the first
time on the new green sward, the players
discovered that much of the paste had
failed to stick to the ground. Mr.. Dom
ovan and his helpers will spike down the
loose spots this morning.
j. Flournoy scored the first tally for
the Saints in the second round. Flournoy
started the inning with a drive that Ian
Mcintyre used in giving juggle and grab
exhibition. Edwin Wheeler retired but
John Lawrence Sullivan lifted a hot one
over Lugs Oyler's head. We are COM
PEELED to use Mr.. Sullivan's entire name
in this tale as another Sullivan. handle

Allemang went out, but p. Geier, after
some dispute about the direction of balls,
held with Mr.. Mullane swatted one to
center for two sacks. and Flournoy
scored.
Jimmie Jackson started the third with
a high one over third. Mcintyre caught
his feet in slice of loose sod and sat
down before the ball came down. Middle
