Of a We'll earned victory in Nicoliet park
yesterday afternoon, and Fleeing Father
was ably assisted by the angular Fox
and the rest of his horde who conducted
campaign of mastery inactivity in the
closing moments of the eleventh. The
Saints scored two runs in the eleventh
and Fox and his sluggards managed to
delay the game until o'clock when it
was called to allow the teams to catch
their trains, and the score reverted to the
tenth. Actual score; st. Paul ?, Mime
apOlis 0; official score: st. Paul 0, Mime
Rpolis 0.

for quitting arrived. 1t was clear case
of delay, but the Minneapolis bleachers

daring attack on Umpire Bausewine.
