The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-11
BY BILLY MAC.

In addition to being the final boost
toward the basement championship
that the Saints will be able to give the
struggling Orphans this season this af-
fair was a maStodon benefit played for
the st. Paul and Minneapolis Houses
of the Good Shepherd. Score to 7.
Ten innings.
For the Information of the fanatics
following the career of the new cham
pions we will again announce that this
game, though played for charity's sake.
was regularly scheduled game. The
failure to pull off the battle in the new
weekday yard will not in any way in
terfere with the Orphans race for the
lobster pennant.
The game, though a weekday game,
was played at Lexington park, as the
promoters having extensively adver-
tised their benefit, were anxious to re-
ceive the outpouring Of the populace
without having any one spilled outside
the fence. The switch proved a wise
one, as more than 1000 spread them
selves through the stands and several
hundred other holders of tickets failed
to come out.
The benefit was a complete success
and the men who worked hard for this
worthy cause are more than satisfied
with the results. The institutions will
receive the entire proceeds of the after
noon, with the exception of few minor
items of necessary expense.
The trimming of our unfortunate sister
city bunch, like the benefit, was COM
piete success. as the Saints We're able to
yank the victory from the full strength
of the visitors. This was made possible
by the return of G. Yeager. the renowned
strapped behind the air pad. Maloney went
to right field. Richard Williams used the
Singing tools and all this geared the team
up to a dangerous form.
The return of Mr.. Yeager was brought
about by the switch to Lexington park.
In the battle of Tuesday on the gummy
goo of our new yard the manager found
that he stood so close to the ground
that the dampness affected his playing.
Fearing to chance a double header. he
disguised himself in his store clothes
and viewed the double defeat of We'd
neSday from the grand stand. Forget
ting that he was there, the Orphans for
two games. Offered a field of matured
sod. the manager resumed command yes
terday,. and, following directions. the Or
phans lost another. Such carelessness.
Use Three Pitchers.
Three st. Paul twirlers divided the
with R. Williams. AT one time Richard
promised to allow c. Angus Mcdonald a
chance to participate, but the threatened
Angus stopped warming himself up.
c. Chech started off for the Saints. but
his singing tackle slipped up in the
II. Anemang took up the work. Harold
went in without working up sufficient
heat, and, getting in wrong, had him
self recalled after two rounds. Ace Stew
art succeeded in carrying the rest Of the
performance through to the end.
The threat to unhitch R. Williams came
looking good to themselves for the first
time since the series began. The Slab
Town troupe started this round with a
lead of four and concluded it with the
Saints but one to the bad. During this
lucky round of the Orphans the plate
appeared to swing in front of R. Williams
and two passes, a pair of singles and
double steal We're worth three runs.
Richard continued in the eighth with
another pair of passes. but assisted Yae-
ger and Spooner in turning out a fast
double play that blocked scoring.
To the great delight Of the enthusiastic
1900, NJ Higgins raped two sacker
like the last chance with an easy out.
After Flournoy had been stopped Eddie
Wheeler poked one over second and Hug
gins came in with the score that knotted
it. Wheeler was caught trying to lift
second.
J. Sullivan started the breakup of the
battle with a single and Stewart beat out
a bunt. Phil Geier laced one by Spooner
at first and j. Sullivan scored the win
ming tally.
