The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-05-31

A. Toledo D.
Columbus Louisville, rain.
The Saints evened up Sundays sad af-
fair by taking two games from Watkins
pupils, one in st. Paul and one in Nicol-
let park. Scores, morning, st. Paul s.
Minneapolis /; afternoon, st. Paul Z, Min
neapOlis ,.
The morning game was never in doubt
after the third inning, when Chech re-
heved Bartos of the onerous duty of
pitching. There were but few Min
neapolis fans present and they couldn't
see enough to make matters interesting.
1t was far different with the afternoon
game in Nicollet park, which was packed
as it has never been packed before.
There We're fully 5000 spectators pres
ent and they reached entirely around the
field after the grand stand and bleachers
cliques of SANITY City fans were drowned
in the concerted uproar from the lungs
of the lusty MilleTs.
Minneapolis apparently had the game
from the start and until the eighth in
ming they appeared to be playing simply
TO perfect their title thereto. In the
eighth, with two men out and two men
on bases, Jackson. hero of the day, turn
ed the bright dreams of the Miilers' fans
into dismal, gruesome reality by pound
ing the ball over the left field fence and
scoring three runs.
Then there was roar after roar and no
end of uumelodious disturbance and for
lent their voices for a common purpose,
for such drive is seldom seen in NicoI-
let park, where the left field fence never
casts a shadow within seventy yards Of
home plate. Cheer after cheer went up
as jackson logged around the circuit,
while the traVel-Stained fans from St
Paul simply went frantic with delight.
In the grand stand. in the bleachers and
on the field little knots of Sanity City
roOters yelped, shrieked and struck out
blindly and impartially in a delrium of
glee.
Players Go Wild.
On the Saints bench. where eight lay
ers of gloom had blotted out all the smiles
from the faces of Kelley's men, there was
a revulsiOn to the other extreme. Jack
son was met at the plate by every MEM
Der and if he had a dozen hands he
couldn't have satisfied half of those bub-
bling around him.
Cool, calm, undemonstrative Jones shot
through the crowd and Rugged and kissed
the chunky little right fielder like a long
lost brother, while the visiting fans raVed
like madmen, drunk with ioy until
they bethought themselves of the infinite
sweetness Of returning the jibes and
9eers heaped upon them without mercy for
Poor old st. Paul. indeed. The re-
frain was rainmed down the threats of
the Mill City fans with all the force of
triumphant sarc SIN. blatant derision and
towering disdain. Every little cutting re-
mark delivered earlier in the game was
treasured up in the breasts of the Kelley
ties and they repaid each and every one
tenfold.
The change of the composite counte-
nance of the grand stand was no more
complete than monday to midnight.
Where a few seconds before thousands
sat. a sea of satisfied grins ripping back
and forth, with here and there a glut-
tOnouS fan mady shrieking for more,
there We're stolid rows of faces. working
hard to forget, or vainly hoping to soon
wake up and discover that it was a
dream.
Saints Rub 1t in
And then in the ninth inning just to
rub II in hard and deep. KeleyS slug
gers came to bat and clOuted in three
more runs. In vain was Thomas called
on to stem the onslaught. The school
and couldn't hear the pleadings of the
multitude. Sessions, who had been
pitching great ball all along, grew strong
eT every second. and Leslie, the ponder
Gus pinch hitter, who carried all of
Minneapolis hopes, was as calmly struck
out as If he had never seen d ball.
Jones started for the Saints by Strik-
ing out and Clingman flew to Oyler, Jack
son retiring the side by a long fly to
Coulter in left.
Sessions hadn't settled down to his gait
and allowed McNichols to walk Ma
IoneN forced McNicholS at second Sulli-
van got first on Marcans error, Ma
loney going to third. Coulter sent fast
one to Clingman, who threw Sullivan out
10 Marcan, but Marcan threw wide to
complete the double and Maloney came
home. Weaver retired the side, out from
Sessions to Kelley.
Not a Saint saw first in the second and
the Millers followed suit and then re-
peated on the Saints. In the third
Watty' 5 scholars got pretty close to SEES
Slons. Thomas started with a single to
right and McNichols brought off a noble
little sacrifice. Maloney went out. Cling
man to Kelley. and Sullivan singled over
second base, scoring Thomas. Coulter
got safe one in left and Weaver sent a
last one to Kelley, which the manager
booted. Marcan made an amende honor
able by fielding the bah to Sessions. re
firing Weaver.
Marcan's stop in this instance was of
the red ink sensational variety. and SEES
Slons presence on the back was evidence
of exceptional judgment. This retired
The MltlerS two runs to the good and
thereafter they were unable to score.
Sessions doubled to Kelley in the fourth
and Clingman made difficult stop in the
sixth.
The Saints continued to be retired with
painful regularity and Buck Weaver
contributed no small part by the utterly
impossible fouls he MANAGED to catch
lie did stunts that would make a con-
tortionist look like an ossified man. and
each time when he uncoiled himself he
held the ball in his monstrouS nit Jones
GOT a tWo-bagger in the sixth. but there
was no one to help him along
Sullivan Starts Eighth
In the eighth Jack Sullivan got to first
on CamplonS error. and Sessions left him
mere by tanning. Weaver made a sensa-
Ienal catch OF Jones foul and CIiugman
came up with two out. Clingman-s con-
trlputlon was nice little single that put
