Kansas City 0, Columbus. 6.
p. Sessions sowed all his wild oats in
one inning at Nicollet park yesterday anu
p O'Brien got in a fair crop at the same
time. with the result that Watty's first
division aspirants got away with the hon
orable end of the score, and this after
the Saints had put several layers OF frost
on Teacher Thomas. Three well distrio-
uted passes. two errors and single ere
ated four runs and gave the hopefuls
lead mile long. Score, st. Paul 3, Min

The sad thump came just at the time
when the Slabtown enthusiasts had come
to the conclusion that there was nothing
joyful in baseball and the fervid ones VINO
followed the Saints had their repartee
flowing fine. Thomas had been spirited
away to the seclusion of the clubhouse,
and Genius Ford was drafted to do the
salvage work. With three weaklings COM
ing up the Saints chances looked as bright
as a gold piece. in the sun, and even the
raucous Tom Gleason put his larynx to
rest and wrapped himself in mantle of
silence that would make the sphinx look
like a spellbinder. Then it came in large
heartbreaking gobs.
Two singles. a double and sacrifice
gave the Millers two in the first, and
Wheeler's sl1yrocket throw was responsible
for one in the second during which time
the Saints were establishing clear titles
to a lot of worthless ciphers which they
continued to accumulate until the sixth
In this period the expose Of Thomas took
pace and three earned runs put the. Apos-

Ford Redeems Himself
Watkins put Themas away after this
inning and gave Ford a chance to redeem
himself fer his lax methods with the In
dams in Thursdays game. The Saints APP
peared to appreciate Ford and gathered in
a pair of singles at the start. but sharp
fielding cut off a run at the plate and the
Saints were all through.
With the exception of the first and
seventh innings Sessions did good work.
He allowed three passes, but punched
them all in the seventh, where they all
counted for something. The fielding
wasn't up to champion standard by any
means. although Marcan covered all kinds
of territory and accepted nine chances
without a skip. O'Brien bungled twice
and Wheeler threw the ball to the club
house when II should have gone to kel-
ley. Flournoy Shuffied in left in the first
inning but Greminger got double out OF
it. In the same inning Sullivan let
throw from left get by, but Greninger
had it beat and there was no harm done.

Runs Are Scarce
The Saints didn't get anywhere near
the run mill in the third and the disciples
of Watty were just as unsuccessful in
their half. Kelley soaked out a full
grown two-bagger in the fourth, with
two out and his finish found him still on
second. Marcan made an irideScent stop
of FoX's single in the Millers' half, but
couldn't recover to throw. Fox didn't get
further than first. however. The Saints
wasted two hits in the fifth without any
thing to show for them, and the Millers
We're retired with alacrity in their half.

to Fox. Kelley singled to center and

the score was three all. Sessions brought
the glad time to an end by fouling out to

offering went to Ford, who threw Jones

Sessions Runs Wild
The baleful seventh started with Fox
up and Sessions let him walk Oyler

presented first to Ford. Maloney forced
Ford at second putting Oyler on third
and Sessions packed the bases by walking
Freeman. Coulter clouted a fierce jumper
to Marcan, entirely to hot to handle with
out tongs. and Oyler scored. Greminger
hit to O'Brien. who erred, and Maleney
came in OLeary drove one to Marcan,
who tossed the ball 10 second. but O Brien
muffed, and Freeman and Coulter came
home. McNichols flew to Jackson and
drew the veil on the sad spectacle.
The Saints never had a chance in the
following inning. in which Ford struck
three of them out. Columbus comes to-
day. Score:
