The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-07-17

Indianapolis at Milwaukee.
Louisville at Kansas City.
The eccentricities of Umpire Fore
man contributed most of the interest
to a long-drawn out game yesterday
between the Saints and Mud Hens that
ended in favor of the locals by score
of to Z. There has seldom been on
the local grounds a better exhibition OF
how not to umpire the national game
than Foreman put up yesterday. and
it's only redeeming feature was that
neither side suffered from the farcical
decisions more than the other. They
were in fact so impartially distributed
that there is no reason to believe that
the result of the game would have
been different had the lady with the
scales and cheese knife been holding
the Indicator.
Texas ~~ke Volz was on the rubber
for the Saints for the first part of the
game, and. while wild, was able to
hold the hits within reasonable limits
With the score to 4 in favor of the
locals. Kelley became fearful of an
ascension and substituted Stewart. The
Hens got to Aace pretty freely, but
clever fielding prevented disaster. In
the last inning matters took on very
indigo tinge when !Schaub and Childs
singled in succession, but splendid
work on the part of Higgins and Geier
retired the side.
Christall worked for Toledo and
pitched a very creditable game. but he
was not favored by fortune, for every
hit the SaiSts made counted in the run
getting. In five innings not a single
hit was made off him, but in the sec
ond and fifth two hits were good for
an equal number of runs; in the fourth
three hits counted for three runs. and
in the ninth two hits were good for the
winning run.
1t took twelve Saints in all to win the
game, for, besides the change Of pitch
ers, PIERCE had to take Kelley's place
on account of the manager getting
hurt and in the fifth Ferguson batted
for Volz. Kelley got a nasty knock on
the thigh, which threatens to keep him
out of the game for seem time. UNI
pire Foreman also got a crack on the
right ankle from one OF Stewards low
ones in the seventh inning and suffered
considerable pain during the remainder
of the game but manfully remained at
his post No particular grudge is
borne against Foreman here, but many
were heard expressing the hope that
he would take proper care of that ankle
and not venture out too soon.
The Saints commenced to do bust
ness in the second. After Kelley and
Wheeler were dismissed on double
play Sullivan drew base and scored
moment later when Volz hit one that
fell Just in front of Bernard and was
good for three bases. Geier followed
with a single that brought the big Tex
an to the plate, and then Shannon few
out.
Wheeler started the fourth with a
single, and Jack Sullivan laid down
bunt along the left foul line. The ball
travelled close to the line, sometimes in
and sometimes out. Schaub ran to it,
and, seeing that he could not beat Sui
Ivan to first, let it roll in the hope that
it would foul. This, he says, it did, but
Foreman did not see it that way and in
the meantime Wheeler had got around
to third. Kleinow undertook to tell
Foreman that what he did not know
about the game would fill a book big
ger than Ted Sullivan's, and for his
pains was relegated to the bench, and
Doc Reisling was called on to fill one
Of his many roles behind the bat.
Wheeler scored on Volz's long fly.
Geier hit to Childs and Sullivan was
caught at second. Christall threw to
catch Geier off the bag at first and
Tuck Turner dropped the ball, Geier
going to second. Shannon waited for
four wide ones, and Geier scored on
Jackson's long drive over center. Shan
non and Jackson worked the double
steal successfully, Shannon scoring,
and then FIourn0y died at first. In
the fifth, with one out, Kelley got a
pass and Wheeler singled. Sullivan
raped out long one to right field
and Kelley and Wheeler scored On it.
Sullivan made for second on the throw
and for some reason best known to
himself Foreman called him out Fer
gusen, batting for VolZ ended the in
ming by going out at first. In the
NINTH with the score a tie, Geier was
first up and raped out a single. Shan
non flew out and then Jackson hit to
Schaub, who tried to head off Geier at
noy was up next and his single to CEN
ter scored Geier and won the game.
The second also looked good for the
Hens. With two gone, two hits and a
pass filled the bases, but quick fielding
headed off scoring. In the third a sin
gle and two passes filled them again,
and this time KleinoW came to the res
cue with a e-bagger and cleaned
them up. In the fifth couple of pass
es and single were good for one, and
the sixth produced another from a
pass, single and a long fly. With one
gone Smith singled in the eighth and
Owens flew cut. Hoffman then fell on
a slow high one of Stewards and he
and Smith were back on the bench
when the ball had been relayed back
Turner hit safe, but Bernard struck
out. In the ninth. after Reisling had
struck out, Schaub and Childs singled.
Christall hit to Higgins and, as usual,
the second baseman had his thinking
cap on. Threatening Schaub at third
he held him safe on the bag and then
threw Christall out at first. Smith was
next up and hit tall foul fly over near
after it and with splendid play ended
inning
