The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-07-14

Columbus at Milwaukee.
The chance for KelIey's aspirants for
pennant honors to get within Whisper
ing distance of Gantillon's Brewers
was let slip yesterday when the up
river aggregation of Orphans woke up
from their two-daysi trance and de-
feated the Saints at Nicollet park by
a score of to 8.
Texas Jake Volz, was given a longer
rest than usual in the hope that he
would be able to overcome his hoo
doc and at last take one game from
the Orphans, but IT seems as If Jake
has not as yet hit upon the proper
combination. Outa of six games lost
this season the Millers have beaten
him four times and he has yet to score
his first win against them. Although
but eight hits were made off him, five
of them came in bunch, and, as they
were of the well developed sort, they
proved enough to cinch the game for
the Orphans. Volz ofelded his position
in splendid, shape and accepted seven
chances. His hit in the third was also
responsible for the first run scored by
the Saints. 80.
Long Archie Stimmel started out to
do things for the Millers, but a sore
arm forced him to retire in the fifth In
favor of Williams. 1t was a we'll con-
sidered move, as Ke1ley's men had
just begun to take, kindly to Arches
curves, and each of the three proceed
ing innings had produced run. VIII
1iams, however, put the lid on and held
the Budding Champs powerless. Only
one hit was made off him, and that
came in the ninth andzwas rendered of
no avail by very pretty double.
Middle Schaefer was out of the
game with sore foot and Geier COW
cred short Flournoy going to the left
garden. Phil demonstrated his ver-
satility by performing without skip
and appeared perfectly at home in
Germanys territory. Flournoy did not
get a single chance, but had consid-'
cradle leather chasing to do, as the
Millers contracted habit of driving
down the left foul line. III & si2e 2
A few of the most faithful journeyed
to the Mill City to aid the Saints to
the best of their ability, but their eff
forts were drowned by the uproar of
the supporters of the Orphans, who
demonstrated a bitterness against the
Saints that carried them to the length
of rowdyism. Many of the remarks
hurled at the players as they came to
bat Savored very much of BillingSgate
and bespoke anything but the spirit of
fairness on the part of the Minneapolis
fans
Neither side scored in the first two
innings. In the third Wheeler, who
was first up, drew asGbaSe on balls and
was sacrificed to second by pretty
bunt by Jack Sullivan. He scored on a
hit by Volz. Dennis Sullivan was first
up for the Orphans and Volz threw a
wild one that he tried in vain to avoid
and he got his ticket for the first sta
ton by grace of some sore ribs. Spoon
er fell on the next ball pitched and was
anchored at second when the ball was
fielded back, and when Lally duplicat-
ed this performance both Sullivan and
Spooner came homes Smith hit one
down to the pitcher and was an easy
out. and then Andy Qyler hit one over
Spike Shannon's head that took the
little shortstop to third and brought in
Lally. Mcintyre went out, Higgins to
Kelley, and Oyler scored on Martins
single. Ludwig followed with a hit
and Martin got to third, but Stimmel
was an easy victim. The Saints started
the fourth by Jackson singing. Flour
noy got to first ON McIntyre's error, but
was caught at second when Higgins
hit to Oyler, the ball also getting to
first ahead of Higgins. A drive just
inside the foul line by Kelley that was
good for two bases scored jack
son. and then Wheeler fell victim to
Martin. Denny Sullivan opened the
fourth viciously for the Orphans with a
two Dagger, and when he was sacrificed
to third by Spooner it looked as if there
would be something doing, but neither
Lally nor Smith could get the ball out
side the diamond. Jack Sullivan start
ed the fifth for the Saints with a clean
single. Volz hit one down to Martin,
who, in his anxiety to bring off a dou-
BILE play, muffed the ball and both run
ners We're safe. Phil Geier came up
with orders to bunt and his effort was
easily accepted by Stimmel. Shannon
hit to Martin and Volz went out at sec
ond, while Sullivan registered at the
plate. jackson got a pass and both he
and Shannon pilfered a sack. Not
content, however, they attempted the
double steal, with fatal results to Shan
non.
This ended the run getting for the
Saints for Williams, who went in at
this juncture, had them at his mercy.
The only CLEAN of hope came in the
ninth, which Higgins started with
single. Kelley was next UP and drove
a hard one down the left foul line. 1t
looked safe as a church and Higgins
rushed for second. Much to everyone's
surprise, however, Mcintyre reached It
and held it safe and was easily able to
get the ball to Spooner in time to head
off Higgins before he could get back to
first. Wheeler ended the agony by 60
ing out, Martin to Spooner.
In the fifth and sixth only three men
faced Volz, but he got bad start in
the seventh by passing Spooner and
Lally. The former drew four wide ones
and Lally was hit on the left arm and
hurt SO badly thatEhe had to retire
from the game. Vasbinder taking his
place. Smiths sacrifice advanced both
the runners and they scored on Oyler's
single. The next two up died at first.
