FROM COLUMBUS
CASE OF LARCENY AT NICOLLET
PARK YESTERDAY.
Glymer Lost Game for His Team by
One Wild Throw at Critical Time
--Morgan's Timely Hit in the Ninth
Inning Won for Minneapolis.
Ev O,LoudhlIr1,

If ever bunch Of baseball thieves held
up and strongarmed baseball game Wat
kns millers did 1t yesterday afternoon at
Niccllet park. We won from Columbus all
right, but we took the game with pair
of deuces up against fours with the aid
OF good strong bluff and quick getaway.
AT that the players left the field and
stole up Vine place to reach town, afraid
to go down Nicollet for fear the police
would pinch them for larceny.
~ Chattering Clymer picked Gus Dorner.
the Decaturs Westphalian. to do the con-
ducting for his orchestra. Dorner was in
good form and until the eighth inning
held the millers right up to the rack. Then
they broke over and made three hits
which. coupled with little disaster on
the part Of his team mates. defeated Dor
ner.
Morgan was UP for the locals and
3tarted off with a prodigal liberality Tie
Giscoverers made three hits In the first
inning and two In the second, netting
4hem three runs. They made two more
in the third, which gave them run, and
then stopped short never to SCORE again.
Morgan was as wild as a silver democrat
over Parker's nomination, but he finally
turned TO and won his game. e..
In the first Lefty Davis. 'Zeke wrtg.
ley and Frlel made hits In row. Coulter
threw i,is brogans into Davis hit, allow
Ing him to reach third on single, and
McNichols made throw to second base
that was very much velvet collar on a
gray suit. When the sand settled Davis
and Friel had scored. In the second in.
ming Simon hit the ball and Maloney
dropped Dorner's fly. Wrigley sent out a
clover seeder and Simon scored. In the
third Frlel clipped out single and went
second on Kihms out. Clymer put the
dynamite under the ball for two corners
and Friel scored Right then Colum bus
walked on to the Morgan brand Of sticky
Hy paper and wa]lowed there like a brin-
die pup until the end Of the game.
Minneapolis toiled thru the tears Of the
fbleachers until the fourth inning before
man reached first base. Maloney led
off with a twO-bag jostle, went to third
on wild pitch and scored on a passed
ball The lid held down until the eighth.
Right then the grizzly bears began to
climb the north pole. Oyler drew trans
portation and Morgan made a single.
EMaloney sent out a lawn mower, which
IClymer In throwing In hefted halfway to
the stands. Oyler and Morgan scored,
and Maloney never took hitch in his belt
until he reached third. He paused to
wipe the dust off his travel stained panties
and resumed his trip homo when Sullivan
dented ioorner for a single to left. This
lied up the proceedings In the ninth
the Clymerites made reach and had a.
man on second when a fast double play
blew out their gas, 1t began to look like
ten innings when Starnagle and McNichols
went out in :se Minneapolis half Abijiba
Fox. the nan who made a home run at
10 pm, Aug. Is, 1880, came up and held
.5his tray over the table while Dorner
passed ZIP four wide ones. Good waiter Is
Aotjiba. Oyler repeated the performance
and got on in the same way. Then Nor
gan. who was tired and arna-weary, de-
cided to break up the game and swung
MS maui against one of the Three-I league
Shoots Of Herr Dorner. 1t was a short
single, but k,b.;-hs Fox was not to be
denied He scuttled for home with the ball
coming fast from scratch. Abijiba fin
1shed with his mouth full of sand and
Simon over hiEl with the ball 1t was
a close decision, but Mr.. KLEIN evidently
preferred to take his chances with the flf-
teen Columbus players rather than the
1000 Minneapolis rooters in the stands.
and called Abijiba safe. It was all over
but the car fare. Following is the sketch
of the felony.
