HIT THOMAS.

Ry o'Louahlln.

Mr. Lemons syndicate team No. 2, Of
Toledo, furnished the blood for the max
ing of Roman holiday at Nicollet park
yesterday afternoon. There was nothing
much to 1t save that the mud hens came
in and went out with the monotony of
the creak of Farmer Spriggins' windmill
at Sank Center. Thomas was in the box
for Minneapolis and had the marooned
ones signing for a crack at the ball at
least, they having lost all hope of hitting
safely. But one hit was made by the
visitors. that of Moriarity. little pom
dering over the name will show just how
and why he hit it. Being a sincere Irish
ball player, mo" couldn't miss 1t. 1t
was his birthright. that two-bag jolt.
Lundbum was on the teeing ground for
Toledo He sliced and fooled consider
ably, but was steady most of the time.
McNichols had the advantage of him yes
iterday and made three hits Of the six
gained by the locals Fox drew one Of the
little casinos, and Maloney and Coulter
divided what was left The others also
ran.
The nearest Toledo came to scoring was
in the fifth inning when Moriarity cut
loose q two-base souse on Thomas and
went to third on a sacrifice by Brown.
Burns hunted and Moriarity tried to score.
Oyler threw him out at the plate The
locals started their fun in the first thing.
Ills well they did. Willie Maloney, the
Buster Brown Of the miller family, started
off with a two-sacker. Sullivan tipped
his drive too high and O'Hara of the
potato patch loped under it, nipping Sui
Ily's ambition Coulter demonstrated that
when speed meets speed there's always
something doing, and Maloney slid home
on the ray Of hope that Coulter's single
opened up. After that Toledo snapped
the cable and the Watkins harborboat
couldn't have reached home dock with
three tugs and a jackscrew. In the sec

followed with repeater. Oyler's fly was
absorbed by Lundbum and applied to
third base. cutting short the Pilgrims
progress of the aspiring McNichols. After
this incident Minneapolis did not get a
man beyond second base. Moriarity at
third didn't have any visitors and con-
tented himself by singing come -all-ye's
until the scoring sun went down.
The stands took wholesome delight in
the discontinue Of Lee. Monday after
noon Lee distinguished himself by two
home runs Yesterday afternoon he
strobe to the pan with the air of Marc
Anthony heading for one Of Cleopatra
pink teas. He rubbed dirt on his hands
and spat upon them He then cleansed
his hands upon his shirt. He pulled down
his cap, tucked his shirt inside his trou-
sers. pulled up the knickerbockers, wiped
his hand on his shirt once more and
waved the bat with the JUNCTION Of vii
lage undertaken at the funeral of the
mayor Of the burg. His toilet completed,
he, faced Thomas prepared to knock the
bali'steen thousand feet w u
He swung at one-and missed It,
''ste-e-er-i-i-k-e one!" remarked Mr.. Hol-
Iiday
Another came by-disdained 1t. Same
remark by the arbitrator.
Mr. Lee was rnanfestly perturbed. He
frowned in mighty wrath at the Lilipu-
tian indicator holder. -
SWISH ''He-e-e's 's'o-u-t-t-t.' bawled
the man with the vacation name, whereat
the unregenerated in the bleachers lifted
their voices In the strains Of the "Anvil
Chorus" The next time up Lee made a
second toilet and flew out to Coulter.
The third time he prepared to do
or die--and did.
He made two swipes like the arc OF
grandfather's old-fashioned well sweep
While he was pausing to attempt to dis
Germ the iconoclast who had yelled "dead
'un" at him from the stands. Mr.. Thomas
sent a beautiful breaking Sin" over the
pan and Mr.. Holiday extended him ar
invitation to take seat in the far rear
His anger was apopleptic in it's virulence
and was not lessened by the chortling OF
the populace. .e+f.'%
