TOLEDO TRAILED
IN FINAL GAME
MrIIERs STEAL VICTORY FROM
REIsLING.
Last Contest of the Toledo Series Was
i'm Doubt Until tho Ninth Inning
Fox, the Star Performer on the
Bases, Scoring Minneapolis Two
Runs.

Toledo closed a disastrous engagement
al Nicollet park yesterday afternoon. II
was q profitable stay for the mlllers, out
1t Is feared that the playing of some or
his butter fingered bunglers has height
ened the nervous prostration with Wh1ch
Billy Clngnan has been threatened since
he left his st. Paul berth
Morgan was chosen to bowl for the
locals He was In fair form, but the
fast fielding OF his hackers saved him
In one or two pinches. Deering warmed
up before the game for Toledo and pitched
one inning. After Clingman looked over
the sample copy Of the first inning ne
chased Deering into his street shoes and
caused DR.. Reisling to go forth to the
rubber to diagnose the case OF Minne-
apolis. He did it fairly well, te,t lack
of support robbed him Of an even Nlance
to win.
Toledo scored on the getaway. Frisbie
stood still while Morgan warmed up four
times. and came home when Clingman
heaved forth mighty two square swat.
Nothing else happened in that inning or
during the remainder of the game for
Toledo Things looked squally In the
fourth when, after two men were out,
Sweeney cut loose SINGLE went to third
on a Utah circuit throw by Starnagle and
was snagged at the plate on the ancient
and honorable trap throw to the infeld.
Minneapolis scored in the second inning,
when Fox singled. The throw to- catch
him at first went thru the petite Mr..
Reading with the speed Of a circuit-riding
clergyman in a. plate of acknowledged
chicken. Fox pumped his spare legs UP
and down like a Jig dancer, never stop
with mouth full Of sand and a soul
full of joy--safe a block He scored on
a bad throw to the plate by Burns on
Oyler's joust. go
Then ensued some pretty ball playing
the kind that kept the fans shifting from
one side Of the chairs to the other. 1t
was nip and tuck until the seventh inning,
both teams playing fair ball.
In the seventh Abijiba Fox handed such
fine line Of hot verbiage to Mr.. Holiday
that the arbitrator agreed with him and
allowed him to walk to first base. Oyler
walked up to the plate with that peculiar
rocking horse stride of his and sacrificed
Mr.. Fox reached second. Morgan neg
lected to hit the ball hard enough and
was gathered to the base-running fathers
at first. Maloney put the airship essence
under one Of DR.. Reislings prescriptions
Frisbie saw 1t coming and, turning his
back to the ball. did rapid sprint fol-
the fagpole. He arrived ahead Of the
ball, but was SO excited that with his
little heart all a-flutter, he dropped the
meteorite and Fox crossed the pan. II
was FoX's game thruout, and his play
ing almost leads one to regret ever having
verbally castigated him for past misdeeds
In the eighth Toledo made a hard bid
but was denied. Frisbie singled, ant
went to second on an error by Fox. He
travelled to third on a wild pitch. O'TIars
tried to steal second, and second tral
play was started. Frisbie started home
Starnagle to Fox to Starnagle to McNich
OILS to Morgan to Oyler to Morgan was thu
route of the ball when ~Frisbie was pu
out. Coulter, Maloney and Sullivan wer.
attempting to get in on the play, blu
there was no room for them on the base
line.
That about ended the affairs. Wyatt
Lee-he Of the tired throwing arm, bu
mighty swatter-was about as effective
as a sugar plug in Mississippi rive
levee at high-water time. He could no
hit and his fielding was nothing t
brag on -,
The scene shifts to st. Paul this after
noon, where the old-time rivals will at
tempt to exterminatef each other. Fol
lowing is the line Of march of yesterday
