The Indianapolis players were twice vic
tins Of the st. Paul aggregation yesterday.
The first elne was won in the ninth in
ming by a score o. TO 3. In the second
contest. after the HOLSTERS fought bravely
TO overcome the Saints big lead, they
were forced 10 qcit the game with the
score 20 Z against them.
The loss OF the first game was such as to
bring much disappointment TO the three
thousand spectators To al the players
and spectators Ii was clear that Frank
Foreman. who Is posing as an umpire, was
the cause of the defeat, not only In this
game, but in the one that followed. Never
was there such palpable case of a man
throwing q game OF baseball as the exhibit
tion given by Foreman yesterday. For his
conduct Kisses. jeers and eatcalls were sent
him from the bleachers and stands. Wher-
ever he went about the grounds during the
fntermission between the first and second
games he was the object of abuse The
players OF both sides made threatening
gestures toward him, yet he made no at
tempt to restore order.
In the second game his conduct toward
the Indianapolis players was even worse.
The climax was reached in the eighth in
ming, when he called Captain Fox out at
home after the latter had slid under Catch
er Sullivan. Fox jumped quickly to his
feet. knocked the mask from Foreman's
hands. and tried to strangle him by the
cords OF his chest protector. Foreman was
white with rage, but made no attempt to
defend himself The other players stood
about with bats in their hands and looked
as though they meant TO assault the UNI
pire. In the same inning the St. Paul play
ers had tilt with Foreman when he re-
fused to call Jones out for leaving first
base after the latter thought time was
called. Captain Higgins threatened to
take his men from the field.
IL the president of the American Associa-
ton allows Foreman to umpire games here,
or In any other city, il will hurt the at
tendance, as the man is not capable of look
ing after game. When he makes deci-
Adisgusting.
