The over might leaders came down with
a bump yesterday afternoon that put a
dent in the percentage colUme and an
expression of acute anguish on the coun-
tenance of Mr.. Dorner twirler for the
presumptuous band from Ohio. For the
Saints it was a binglebund and when
KeIey's tossers got through the fans were
singing the old free silver refrain. Score
st. Paul 16, Columbus l.
The license allowing Clymer's bunch to
get to first place is not visible to the
naked eye, if yesterdays work is any in
dicatiOn of what the team is capable Of
Three lone hits was the sum total of their
attack on Sessions, and this number could
be cut down to two. without doing any
great injustice. In the field their work
was rather ragged, and while no costly
errors were made the general trend of
events was toward loose play
Mr. Dorner, who is the recipient of many
nice remarks down where the buckeye
blows, had bargain day, and gave SOU
Venirs to everybody except O'Brien,
and O'Brien would have been with the ma

tivity of Wrigley and his capacious nit
The Saints hammered the ball like a
small boy on a new drum, so that most
of the time there was continuous string
running the bases until everybody got
tired and quit. 1t was single single, sin
gle. with an occasional double thrown in
to lena bit of variety to this very re-
cherche affair. In the second inning every
player with the exception of O'Brien
scored, and in the fifth nine men faced
Dorner with sufficient confidence to bring
in five runs.
Can't Hit Sessions.
The Christophers. who up to date have
been touring the West in the role of hit
ters and sending the ambitious twirlers
of the Occident to. the hard solitude Of
the bench. found in Sessions something
new strange and weird. They usually
managed to hit the ball, but so conserva-
lively that it didn't get them anything
except little exercise gallop down to-
ward hrst, where Mr.. Hart, umpire,
waved them back to the little resting
place.
Mr.. Harris initial appearance was
great shock TO the fans, and the shout of
glad acclaim that went up when they be-

was only too true, Mr.. Pears had went
ana there was none present to mourn his
departure.
Mr.. Hart caused a ripple in baseball so
ciety by introducing himself as Mister
Hart. and for few seconds there was a
mighty effort to chasten the umpire for
ever, as his work was first-class all the
way through, and the fans were soon will
ing. to accept him at his own valuation as
Mister" He was a great relief, espe-
cially as the day was equatorially hot
Jones, jackson. Sessions and Sullivan
were particularly strong with the stick
yesterday, the first three getting three
hits each and Sullivan two before he re-
tired from the game. Jones is an unob-
trusiNe stealthy, sort of player, but is
in the game all the time. His steal in
the second inning from first to second
while Dorner was holding the ball was one
of the most finished of the season. SEES
slons rounded out his days work by bat
ting at a 500 clip.
Three Face Sessions.
Davis led off for the crew that trimmed
the Millers and went out from O'Brien to
Kelley. Wrigley, the ubiquitous mixed
sunshine and Friel flew out to Jones.
Jones started with a single and Cling
man sacrificed him to second. jackson
flew out to Bridwen. who caught Jones
off second, retiring the side with a double
play.
Kihm got four balls and got to second
on wild pitch Manager Clymer re-
fused to be decoyed into speaking and
took a hit which brought Kihm to third
Sessions threw to third to catch kim
off, but o Brien muffed and Clymer went
to second. Martin went out from short

flew out to Kelley, retiring the side with
one run.
