Having spent the morning locating
the dry spots on our new play GROUNDS
the Saints, by hurdIing the goo pud-
dies without accident, wound up thlS
gummy affair right in the rapid time
Of two hours and twelve minutes.
Score 8 to 4. Fine speed.
This Ianguid battle was very much
Cologne, Carver county, but one can
feel sorry for the lobster champs.
With Herr Strobel continually rafting
an assorted bundle of cans MS crushed
and broken crew spend so much time
wondering who is to get 1T next thae
the real nifty article of ball Is high up
on the shelf. Some day Mr.. Strobel
may devote his entire attention to the
scores of his marine band and Toledo
may have ball team.
1t was DR.. Reislings turn to fling
them over, but as the physician reach
ed into the Strobel bundle and selected
his own can Mr.. Cristall worked for the
unfortunates. AS the news reached To-
ledo by wire last night Mr.. Cristall's
tinWare should arrive by express some
time tomorrow. The band leader is a
careless loser.
Mr. CristalIs number when he gets
his will be %. AS the major portion Of
the dished ones only stopped between
trains in Mr.. Strobel'S employ COM
plete list cannot be furnished. Among
Inc more lOWSNCi, al c -
Butler, backstop; H. Allemang, pitcher,
and Doc Reisling, the only backbone
the Hens ever had. ]. Butler is so bad
that Kansas City makes him do all the
work, and H. Allemang is a rotten
pitcher, says Mr.. Strobel.
Thirteen sWats the more plonounced
being doubles by Higgins, Geier and
Schaefer, aided some in putting an
edge on this keen c1ntest. The Saints
but they wanted % break it off in time
to. get their beans and Java at the early
closing chop stores.
Having no particular interest in the
outcome Mr. Cristall refused to permit
the Saints to bunch their bingles. Sew
eral hits were now and then worked
into a round, but they were never
punched. With a time lock on his de-
livery Cristall separated his curves too
far apart. About one bail every two
minutes was his average.
Ace Stewart worked the first four
rounds for the Saints and might have
stayed on to the finish but for an I'M
fortunate mistake. Ace carelessly al
lowed T. Turner to belt one against the
fence in the fourth, and the loud report
brought the Hens back to the ball park.
While aroused Ball whaled into one
for two sacks, Andrews came right be-
hind with a single, and Smith doubled
right behind.
All this drew the blanket for Stewart
and more hard luck for the Hens.
While Ace was being unhitched to
make room for Harvey Bill Bailey, the
tired ones resumed the train Of thought
that led up to the cans and the batting
outbreak rung off.
