The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-08-21

BY BILLY MAJ.
Several tight decisions worked into
the fourth round of this unfortunate
affair by the distinguished Mr.. Haskell
so agitated the pent UP feelings of the
budding champs that the entire bunch
blew up with a loud report. The deto-
nation was followed by a shower Of
TALES that mutilated the fame of our
new yard beyond recognition. Score, 3
to f.
After crawling out from under the
wreck the victims worked hard in an
attempt to remove the signs of the
catastrophe but the bundle of six re-
rived the Colonies and there was moth
ing doing. Bubbling over with a new
born enthusiasm Algernon Alfred Egan
turned on a few more lines of speed
and the Saints had a terrible time
pulling out the two they got.
1t was Charles Chester Ferguson's
turn to work, but G. Chester is now
Juggling prescriptions designed to break
up typhoid malaria to the drug shop,
and Charlie Chech drew the job. Chech
got away with the first three rounds
fast enough to promise another keen
duel of the fingers, but in the fourth
the Looieville mob, aided by the ex-
plosion, knocked the clabboards off the
boy from Madison.

Prior to the sad accident the battle
pleased the 1856 who came out to see
it made three straight and incidentally
accumulate a coat Of tan. The Colo
nelS grabbed run in the first and the
Saints one in the second. and then
each grabbed another in the third, all
this nifty work delighting the IA
natics.
Having failed to land single game
in St Paul this season G.. Tebeau re-
sorted to a measley trick to yank this
one from the Saints. Reading in
the medical department of a we'll
known daily that chewing gum held
many persons from the foolish factory
and prevented the already batty ones
from becoming violent, Mr.. Tebeau
thought he had the trouble located.
He purchased job lot of the stuff and
fed it into the maps of Willie Schriver
and his pals. The result was some
thing wonderful. Schriver Gained
down at once and even refused to do
anything more than hand frozen stare
at the rude fanatic who persisted in re-
ferring in a loud tone to the famous
backstop as Mr.. Ice. F. Odwell also
gnaWed at a chunk and wore an al
most human look on his ma during
the battle.
If Mr.. Haskell had been included in
dent that the new yard would have
continued undef1led. 1t must be ad-
mitted that the man with the reputa-
ton was much to the cheese rind in
several spots. We cannot say more at
this time, as Mr. Haskell may have
been indisposed and merely obliged to
save Mr.. Hickey the pang of paying
furnishing an understudy for the play
Judge. Besides we lost
FIournoy's Homo Run.
Aside from the gum and the expio-
sion of ]. Flournoy's home-run drive
into the pile of saw dust in left field
was the thrilling feature of this con-
test. In the eighth John swatted one
hard enough to poke it deep into the
heap of grated wood. J. Hart and Cd
well tore at the pile. while Flournoy
ambled around the loop. When Odwell
had concluded his roofing the gum
chewers attempted to convince Mr..
Haskell that the sawdust was illegal,
but the home run counted.
Kerwin started the game by walk
ing and after Hart had flied to Schaef-
er, Brashear moved him to third with
a double. OdweH singled and Kerwin
scored. S. Sullivan drew base and
started a double steal, with BTashear
on the other end. ]. Sullivan whipped

back to the plate in time to get Bra
shear. Will Schriver went out easy,
Chech to Wheeler.
The Saints busted up the first ira
dition of the new yard by failing to
tally in the opening round. Schaefer
opened the second with a single and
Higgins sacrificed. Flournoy hit for
two bases and Schaefer scored. Wheel
er and ]. Sullivan went out.

Kerwfn was a great scorer and hitter.
He raped out four during the day and
hauled in three of the runs.
Geier got double in the Saints
part and scored on Shannon's single.
Shannon stole second but waited there
while Jackson, Sehaefer and Higgins
went out in a row.
The Fatal inning.
White blew open the bloody fourth
after Schriver had flied to Flournoy.
The first baseman singled and after
Quinlan had flied to Higgins went to
second on Egan's single. Here the Saints
thought Egan was out but Haskell
Kerwin beat another punk hit accord
ing to Haskell and with the bases
filled, Chech passed Hart and White

the ball by and Kerwin came in. S.
Sullivan hit one hard against the right
field fence and Hart and Brashear got
in. Schriver singled and Odwell tall
lied. White ended 1t by tanning.
