Yesterdays second attempt to work in
r double-header when PluVius wasn't look
ing was only partially successful from
business Office standpoint. One game was
edged in and Willie Nance's Blue Jackets,
remembering the six cute little nOnenti-
ties handed out to them Friday after
noon. hoped onto Mr.. Sessions with de-
mOTaliZing avidity and scaled off six hits
before he became acclimated to the game.
He was made pitcher emeritus too late.
Score st. Paul 5, Kansas City 6.
Despite the advantage that accrued to
the tailenders by reason of Sessions wob-
bly, tOsses in the first the halo bunch
managed to nose into the lead in the sew
enth but this is invariably the hoodoo
sign at home. and Nance's debaters squirt
ed in the eighth and swept all doubts
aside
The field wasn't within several shades
of being in the pink of condition and sec
tions of that valuable piece Of real estate
stuck like hay fever. Then again it would
be the exact reverse. and once player
starter faster than walk there was no
telling where he would stop. This condi-
ton gave the visitors a run in the first,
when Marcan's center of gravity was Sc
riously disturbed allowing Hill to come
home
There We're large wads of saw mill
crumbs scattered around home plate, and
three times the ball was lost to view in
the mire. In the fifth inning Hill drove
it so far into the breakfast food that it
took half a minute for Peirce and HOlli-
day to dig it out Hill became so inter
eSted in the work of excavation that he
forgot TO go to first and was tagged out.
Jones and O'Brien were victims of the
same sloppy circumstance in the first in
ming.
Saints Had Chances
These little uncertainties only added zest
to the contest particularly as the Saints
were in wireless communication of vic
tory at every stopping place In the sew
enth the world looked particularly bright
and rosy after Jones beat out tubercular
bunt, with Jackson coming up. James
merely WallOped the ball over the extreme
left field fence for a home run, which put
the Sanctified crew one large run to the
good. This little tender of good faith on
the part of Mr.. Jackson was the cause of
great elatiOn and likewise commotion in
and about the grand stand, where it was
freely predicted that the afternoons in
cident was closed and hermetcally sealed
Such was far from being the actual
state of affairs however as three hits
IN the Kaw portion of the seventh showed.
With tie score kelley'S artisans We're un-
able TO add any figure of value to the
score board while two singles and a
double by the Missourians gave them an
other counter and the game. The double
responsible for this disappointment was
executed by Lewee. Stranger things than
that have happened since the dawn of
creation.
Jones opened with pile driving stunt
that StNalled MN naught, and Jackson fol-
lowed with three dopey swipes. Then
came Wheeler, and the ever smiling and
ever deceltful Barry WaXed maudlin mer-
IS at the prospect Barry got one strike
and, seeking to catch Wheeler unawares,
returned the ball in a hurry. Wheeler hit

over to the score board. O'Brien hit the
bal into the earth and was retired
Van Buren, Starts Trouble
