The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-09-08

Nine innings of lStless labor and two
innings of frenZied baseball is the sub
stance of yesterday S soiree with the Blues,
which was concluded in a satisfactory
manner by a pair of timely clouts at the
hands of MesSrs. Jackson and Flournoy.
These opportune wallops were responsible
for two runs which were in urgent de-
mand at the time, as the corroded Kaw-
ties put in claim on the contest to the
extent of one run in the eleventh. Score,
st. Paul 3. Kansas City ..
There was an aching void on the spot
heretofore occupied by Frank Killen yes
terday when the time for play arrived,
and after awaiting the judge of plays for
two and ope-quarter minutes, Durham
and Chech We're hustled out to hand down
decisions. With two willing jumps i'm
hued with the spirit of noblesse oblige.
the dove of peace brooded over the park
until The Hague looked like a general
rioting center in comparison. This state
or affairs existed for nine innings but
when it became evident that the game
was TO be won by a nose each Jump Judged
the least bit. nice sentlemanly little
Judges. nothing fragrant, and the Saints
had the last fudge.
Isbell and Sessions each ran guessing
contest all the way through and the only
excuse for the Blues figuring in the score
at all was the luStx swat of the impetu-
Gus Hill who knocked the ball as far as
he threw it on one memorable occasion.
The larrup was good for four bases and
four period. In the second Isben in a
moment of alteration handed Flournoy
four wide ones and Kelley sacrificed him
to second. With two out Marcan singled
and Flournoy scored.
Isbell toiled seriously all through, while
Sessions appeared to be taking it easy,
ana both systems worked to perfection,
as hits Were nearly as scarce as Killens,
although their absence was much more
to be lamented. while strike outs were
crowding around getting in each others
way.
FIournoy Makes Good Catch
Both sides We're strong in the field,
Flournoy bringing off the spot light play
IN the eighth when he sandbagged Sulli-
right OF left and Flournoy, after a merry
revolving chase, pluclled it out of the
atmosphere with one fin, to the hilarious
OBLIGATION of the multitude and utter
disgust of Sullivan. who was already
packed and had his ticket for second base
Erantz was right fielder pro tenn, while
Sullivan played short and Frantz cut
off two singles TO his bailiwick by fast
throws TO first.
Aitl1in started for the visitors and struck
ond, While Chech was getting used to his
new honor. Nance finished second at
first and Chech decided that Sessions
gave Hill four wide ones This was too
ond, and Durham decided that he ar
rived there too late, and the inning ended
With the honors even between the jumps.
Jones kindly consented to fan as a
starter for the Saints, and Bonner cut
off the bright chances of Jackson and
Wheeler 1t was Durham's turn to look
over the plate and Bonner went out at
hrst, but Massey and Lewee deferential-
ly famed Flournoy accordingly walked
and Kelley sacrificed. Martin vanished
at first and Marcan started the precedent
of hitting the ball safely and F1ournov
scored. MaTcan stole down to second and
Shech returned the compliment by calling
him out. which finished the inning with
the Saints one to the good. Sullivan.
Butler and Isbell all hit the ball to the
wrong spot in the third and none of them
showed up safely on first.
Hill Scores on Hit
Sessions got to first in the Saints half
when lsbell bounced the ball off his frame
but it didn't get the Saints anything but
sympathy Marcan blighted the efforts
Hill as usual distinguished himself by
taking matters in his own hands and
pumping the ball over the fence, where it
counted for home run. Bonner painfully
acknowledged three strikes and retired the
side with the score tied
Despite the uncertainty of the outcome
nobody appeared to become wildly excited
and the fans sat back and watched SEES
Sions and Isbell struggle with calm and
approving satisfaction. S. Sullivan Great
ed a small Spasm by hitting for two bases
IN the fifth. but nothing came of it Mar
can got to first on a pass in the Saints
nall and Went another section on Sullivan's
out. Sessions dropped a single in left and
Marcan made sprint for home, but Nance
caught him at the plate
The visitors and the Saints after this
period Were mostly engaged in walking up
to the plate and retiring to sit on the
bench until the ninth inning, when the
fans aWoke to the fact that 1T was about
to become an extension affair." Aitkin
started the ninth in true spirit with a
single and Ell Capitan Nance sacrificed
him to second. Hill flew out to Kelley
and Bonner sent one to the general With
TWO out in the Saints half of the tenth.
Marcan got to first ON a pass and started
for second It was close decision, and
Chech called him safe Sullivan failed to
get into close one, however, and the
eleventh began.
Isbell was retired at first and Aitkin
raped a sharp roller to the feet of Wheel
er, which DISTRACTED the ball slightly. but
not sufficiently to retire Aitkin at first.
Nance made matters look serious by sin
Cling to right, which put Aitkin on third
Hill forced Nance on second, kindness of
Mr.. Durham, and Bonner sent webbly
one to Wheeler. Wheeler made a poor
