By diligent application to business the
Saints were able to work in six innings
and a fraction with the rainmakerS yes
terday afternoon and during that time
they hit the bulb with such vigor and
regularity that eight sanity swatters
cantered across the plate. while the score
board was decorated with links for the
tailenderS. The crop helper came in the
seventh after the Saints had scored once.
with one out, and the game reverted to
the sixth. which makes the official score,
st. Paul Z, Kansas City 0.
The untimely defalcation of three inn
ings really didn't amount to much, as the
final outcome had long since ceased to be
a matter of speculation Mr.. ISbell, whose
name is frequently mentioned on the
Kansas City hillsides as one possessing
the art and science OF pitching, was
singled out 20 do the heavy work, and
tear drops from the sky was an appropr1-
ate setting for his disannearance. Others
work, but their lachrymose contribution
was lost sight of IN the young deluge that
half filed the bali park.
Fifteen hits were all the Saints had
time to collect, although they were get

warped three of Isbell's choicest offerings
Sullivan had just knocked out a double,
scoring Marcan, when both teams had to
take to the high lands to escape the flood

Isbell started out too good to last by
striking out Jones and Jackson the first
time up and for a few moments it looked

Lewee was waiting for O'Brien's grounder
and put an artistic kibOSh on Wheeler at
second, sending the Saints out to grass
without any runs.
