That second game yesterday was Just
swatted vice when Mique Kelly's saints
triumphed for the second time over Wat
kins' sinners. About 5000 fans who went
out to boost remained to boot The To-
calls were hypnotized and before they
came out of the trance the visitors were
SO far ahead that they could not have
BEEN caught by a tailors collector-and
that is a good big lead.
-"FroSty"-the mighty man
who held Kansas City down to one hit,
was supposed to be held to make mon
keys" out Of the visitors. His arm mas
been In pickle week just to demonstrate
the difference on the afternoon OF Nc
mortal Day. He showed the difference
,plainly-and the $500 Minneapolis fans
were compelled to sit In silence and sad
ness while a red faced brute with fish
horn played paens of JOY ana 81. paui
youth wearing a fragrant necktie cnortleo
over the weeping masses with unholy glee.
Sessions was on the slab for st. Paul.
but the sessions for Minneapolis were
short. In only two innings did they come
to life and go after him. Thomas pitched
splendid ball for time, but when he did
ease up the saints went after him IN such
a style that he was left looking like a
dandellon In a violet bed. Minneapolis
scored In the first inning when Maloney
went to first on f1elder's choice and to
third on an error by Marcan. He scored
while the st. Paul lgorrotes We're pololnS
In the second inning Minneapolis was
cremated as the batters appeared, but In
the third the locals scored again. Thorn
as led off with pretty single McNichols
boosted him along with a sacrifice and he
reached third on passed ball. He came
to the trough when Sullivan laced out a
single and that was the last time a Min
neapo1is player got close enough to second
base to attempt to spike the bagman. It
was 1-2-3, back to the bench, you bloom
ers, as fast as they came up. Charity,
however, compes the mention OF the fact
THAT Sullivan made another single i'll the
eighth inning but it awaited nothing.
St. Paul was BANKED up to the seventh
inning. There had been a dumb play or
two, but they proved Of little harm There
had been two fast doubles, when some one
cut the guy rope OF FROSTY Thomas
balloon and the visitors made it so hot
that he can never be called Frosty
again. In the seventh a single, passed
ball. an error and wild pitch allowed
'O'Brien to score. In the eighth Sullivan
Sessions struck out and Jones went out
on a foul fly that Buck Weaver plucket
from among the spectators. ClingnaI
made a. single and Sullivan went to Sec
ond &c. .
Excuse these weeps. '
Jackson, a coarse person from st. Paul
with an untldy UNIFORM ana needlnS
shave, came to the plate and pelted thu
pellet until it sailed far over left felt
fence and three runs came across tn
plate. Wheeler then struck out. This wa
the blow to which father succumbed.
the ninth O'Brien started things b,
flying out to center. Kelly, another on
of those hickory Germans drove tn
ball into the crowd on the back fence an
took two bases Marcan followed with
tilt on Thomas and Sullivan buttsd int
the proceedings with a single Session
flew out. Jones paid the freight for
fence ride for the ball and took two bag
as his portion. A foul fy ended the Kish
ineff incident. In the smoke Of battle Kel
ly, Marcan and Sullivan had trippe
across the plate with nothing to hea
them off. 1t was sorrowful and the re
faced man with the tin horn made 1t NOR
SO. Following is a diagram Of how tn
idol was splintered: g..
