Too much Malarkey. That about sum-
marizes the reasons for Minneapolis de-
feat at the hands Of Columbus yesterday
afternoon. Old king Null fried and
trapped the air with shoots, drops and
hips until the millers began to break
ground every time they approached the
plate. They got their feet in the water
bucket in the beginning and did not get
them dry until too late to make stand
Stimmel battled valiantly and pitched
winning ball. His club fellows could not
connect when they came to bat and the
human Flagstaff lost good afternoons
work
Minneapolis was crippled and presented
a summer stock company lineup. Sulli-
van Is still sick and McNichols was spike
stabbed in the game of the previous day.
This necessitated putting Leslie on first,
Lally in the center and Owens at third.
While the men played good ball they did
not reach the limit of the men who usual
ly play In those positions. In the begin
ming the teams started after each other
like a couple Of doped fox terriers. Only
six men came to bat on each side in the
first two innings. Things livened up a bit
in the third when Bridweu stepped up to
the Stimmel bargain counter and tore off
a yard of fist base embroidery A second
later fast double on Yeagers rap sent
both the kid and the fat boy back to the
coop. Davis was assassinated In an. at
tempt to knock the ball over the fence
Oyler started to jolly the stands by a
drive to right when the Watkins men
came in for theirs Rusty" Owens-he
Of the near red brain egetation-offered
himself as sacrifice and Oyler reached
second. He stuck there like the lady In
the rock Of ages picture while two human
balloons were punctured by Ivan Ma
larkey. Columbus scored in the first Of the
fourth Ezekiel Wrigley had a bad dream
the night before and imagined he was
back with Pat Hurley at Worcester. To
keep his dream from coming true. Wrig.
treated Mr.. Stimmel in a very unladylike
manner, spelling nice straight offering
and lifting it for two city blocks with his
lofting iron. Two successive deep fys
allowed Wrigley to come home. This is
merely incidental but goes to show that
dream books have no place in a baseball
game
The millers came in and struggled like
a bull pup that had fallen onto sticky
f1ypaper. Leslie made hit, but the bat
tleship remained moored at first while the
mosquito fleet behind him was torpedoed.
Columbus was pasteurized In It's hale OF
the fifth, and in turn gave Watkins men
a little Munyon treatment when they
came up. The sixth was another score
less and griefsome time, but in the sew
enth Columbus added injury to insult.
Dummy kim came to bat and Signal
Officer Clymer wigwagged him to knock
the pill to the burdock patch. He tried
