A few slide trombones and some cake

performance in the down town ball park
would have been complete from min
strel point of view. All the other In
gradients of a side splitting farce were
there and in munificent abundance Up
to the seventh inning the affair was like
the weather, muggy but in the seventh
and eighth the Saints lambasted their
fellow townsman Bartos to the invisible
limit, scoring fourteen times in two IN
nings. Score: ST. Paul 1S, Toledo g.
1t was a SWatfest in the superlative
degree with leaven of debHitated base
ball thrown in by the Swamp AnSels
just to add a handkaese aroma to the
whole. The Angels were disguised with
Killen's decisions and they had every
reason to be, although the one that put
them in the air was fair. 1t came in the
seventh, when a throw was made to the
plate. and it looked as If Clarke couldn
help but tag the runner. Clarke missed
him, however, and Killen very properly
called the runner safe. He made plenty Of
other questionable decisions without add
ing any that are undeServed.
Manager Kelley reconsidered his Labor
day plans and sent T.. Chapelisk1 Corbett
in to do the singing, but in the fourth
inning the Mud Hens appeared to be-
come suddenly conversant with Corbett's
possessions and Slagle was sent in to
conclude. The tailenders got to Slagie
for brace of singles at the, getaway
bat, and they didn't figure further than
second base.
eartos Is Pounded
Bartos, who opened the season with
ST. Paul and escaped the Northern league
wreck, was. assigned by w. Clingman,
en- banc, to do the tossing, and in spots
he did we'll but the spots where he didn, t

len decided that Mike exercised contribu-
tory negligence by not removing the knee
from the danger zone.
A double and a single off Corbett gave
the visitors one in the second, and four
singles gave them two in the fourth. The
Saints scored twice in the second inning
on a double. three singles and a pass, SO
that the Mud Hens had the lead until
the sixth. By the sixth the multitude be-
gan to think that there was some pros
pect of not winning, and the Saints We're
urged to accumulate little pile OF runs
The proceedings began. to have the ap-
pearance of a tortoise and hare foot race
by this time, especially as Bartos has
struck out two men in the fifth. o Bflen
started the sixth by dropping one In
Frisbie's hands and Marcan came up
and slapped the ball for two bases, Sui
livan followed with single and Marcan
scored. Slagle hit one near Bartos, but
the migratory southpaw just reached
enough of it to make it safe. OHara
tried to stop Jones grounder with his
knee and Sullivan scored. and Jackson
and Wheeler retired the side.
The Awful Seventh
Bartos hit Flournoy in the seventh, and
Kelley followed him with a single to right
center O'Brien hit to Burns, who let
go of the ball to get a better grip and
then held it while Flournoy scored. Mar,
can beat a bunt, Sullivan singled and
O'Brien scored. Slagle walked and was
forced at second by Jones. Jackson hit
to. right, scoring Marcan Clarke in some
ineXplicable manner failing to touch him.
Wheeler singled and Sullivan came home.
Jones was leading off third and Clarke
threw to Moriarty to catch him. In a
second all the Mud Hens We're perched
on the third base line, with Jones dodg-
a wheel. Apparently he didn't have a
chance in a thousand, but he threaded
his way through the mob to the plate.
Flournoy came up for the second time in
the seventh and famed.
The eighth was worse and more of it,
hits and runs following so fast on one
another that they present tangle OF
baseball hard to unravel O'Brien started
with a single and Marcan put him on
third with double. Pelrce, who re-
lieved Sullivan, beat a bunt, and o Brien
scored. Slagle singled to center and Mar
can came in, Jones hit to right and Pelrce
scored. Jackson hit to Moriarty, who
threw wild to Kemmer, and while the
the bleachers Slagle and Jones came
home Wheeler doubled to left and jack
son scored. Flournoy and Kelley walked
and filled the bases. O'Brien forced Kel-
ley at second, while Wheeler scored, and
Marcan scored Flournoy with his second
hit in the inning. Peirce flew out and
Slagle walked, and Jones out finally re-
tired the side with eight runs. It's hard
to believe, but it's true.
