The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-10
BY BILLY MAC,

into the closing ends of this double
decker by the lettering Orphans. the
Saints were able to collect the entire
bill, and, as Tommie Bryce's team
whaled the Looieville bunch to a
frowsy FRAGILE while all this was hap
pening, we now intend to make this
capture of the embroidered rag a run
away Scores, II to 10 and 10 to 9.
'Rah! 'Rah.
Although this double victory should
compel loud shouts of joy, we are una
bic to properly enthuse. as Kelley's
men wrenched the pair of wins from
handicapped team. Being unlnten-
tionally connected with the Gripping of
the Slab Town outfit, We feel obliged
to make an explanation.
Overcome by a portion of our re-
marks touching on the game of the
previous day, Mr.. Yaeger, the guiding
hand of the candidates for the cellar
championship, refused to participate in
the double battle. Instead. Mr.. Yae-
ger arrayed himself in his store clothes
and hurried over from our sister city
to inaugurate the Yaeger school of
baseball scoring and reporting. TUT
ton rates will be announced later
Taking himself and his position at
the head of the Orphan band seriously.
Mr.. Yaeger, in our short interview
with the esteemed manager insisted
that he could see nothing amusing In
his heaving the ball at Ian McIntyre's
brawny back, or in the hurting of
fast one at the first sack when G.
Spooner was not expecting it. The or
der for Mcdonald to throw one in for
sure ball when Schaefer was standing
square on the plate that pitchers are
supposed to throw over if they Intend
to meet up with any particular amount
of success, was not referred to during
the discussion.
AS near as We succeeded in catching
the meaning of the instruction furnish
ed in Mr.. Yaeger's first lesson, anyone
Directing to the Yaeger style of play is
to have their precious block knocked
off if they will kindly consent to leave
the ball grounds. Fearing that his
team may become excited by the smell
of fresh blood, Mr.. Yaeger generously
refuses to smear any gore about the
ball yards. Such a desperate!
After distributing the first sprouts
of the Jaeger school Of knowledge
around the press box, the distinguish
ed manager made the winning of this
seasons championship a cinch by
spending the remainder of the after
noon on a chair in front of the Saints
club house, where the disinterested
members of the team listened enthu-
SiaStically to the finer points of the
game being eXpounded.
Being a new one in the Yaeger class
of explaining these daily clashes, we
experience shock of fear in announc-
ing that Bill Maloney aided somewhat
in filling the gap left yawning by the
withdrawal of the renowned manager
from the game. As the manager won
his fight with the Toledo neWSboy we
dread taking chances.
Thomas Tries Two Games.
Aside from the visit of the Orphan
manager, the performance of Mr..
Thomas, another instructor but not of
the Yaeger school, was the heavy print
feature of this strenuous afternoon.
The Missouri instructor attempted to
emulate the example of one McGinnity,
a singer of some note, by hurting them
in for eighteen rounds
The teacher was on his fifteenth lap
when unhitched to make way for young
Mr.. Converse, formerly of the Blom-
quist Shay beer parlors, Minneapolis.
The Slab Town young man started
with two passes, but after this per-
formed like an old user of the tools
until the concluding round of the affair
he was pushed into At this point two
singles and a double scored the win
ming tally and made it look like back
to the beer parlors.
Charles Chester Ferguson worked in
the first nine rounds used by Mr.
Thomas. In four rounds c. Chester
pinched his blows and the Orphans
nursed lonely one. In the middle
round Ferguson allowed a single and a
double for another tally, but owing to
the great lead collected by the Saints
the two sets of four scored in the
eighth and ninth failed to help the
visitors.
DR.. H. Bill Bailey dragged the second
affair up close to the finish before letting
go. AS the Orphans proceeded to work
in another of their favorite punches of
four into the windup round of the day, c.
Chech was hurried in and the score was
only knotted when the Saints came in for
their last turn.
The Saints started after the first game
in the opening round. Geier singled. Shan
non beat a bunt and went to second on
Spooner'S tumble. Geier moved to third
Jackson flied to D. Sullivan. Schaefer
singled and Geier scored. Higgins hit
for a base and Shannon tailed. Flournoy
hit to Mcintyre and Schaefer was stopped
at third. Flournoy was doubled at first.
With two gone in the second and Fer
