Wee Willie Nance and his weather beat
en- band of blues yesterday proved the old
adage that the runs are not always to
the heavy hitters by sprinkling ten safe
ones on and out of the downtown lot. in
which were counted four which extended
to two bases, and out of all this We're
able to realize but one run. With Mr..
Eels on the hill, the Saints brought down
but eight safe ones, but they were cash
ed in for their full value Score, st. Paul
3, Kansas City l.
Eels pitched much good ball and quite
a little bali that wasn't so good. Eeis'
chief fault is the suggestiveness of his
name, which impels weak minded persons
TO indulge in one atrocious pun, which
has been worked threadbare all around
the circuit. Eels was wild at times, es-
pecially in the third inning. but if he had
heard one-tenth of the piScatorial
Jokes sprung about him, that were
heard in the grand stand, it would have
been necessary to put him in a straight
jacket.
]. Ed Grillo's latest find appeared yes
terday in the person of Mr.. Shuster, late
of the K. 1. T. league, who nothing
daunted by the f1amboyant departure of
Frank Killen. bobbed cheeriIy into the
grounds and took up the work with no
other badge of Empirical authority than
a peaked cap. Mr.. Shuster is a man of
few words and several motions. He has
the sign language down to an art and
by simple wave of his hand can express
more contempt and lofty superiority than
most umpires could through a megaphone,
and when he points two fingers at the
ground the argument is over.
Kelley to the Bench
In the eight inning Manager Kelley pro-
tested against a decision, and after listen
ing for a moment Shuster pointed three
fingers at him which conveyed the in
formation that Kelley was out of the
game for the rest of the day. and John
Sullivan finished the affair on first If
the game had gone to extra innings it is
likely that Sullivan would have finished
as pitcher. He started behind the bat.
and in the fourth when F1ournoy twisted
his knee Sullivan went out to left field
and Pelrce put on the wind sack. Just as
Sullivan got accustomed to the grass

lowed with single, but tried to steal
second with little or no success, and Hill
retired the side. The Saints lost one
bases. Eels famed Jones and allowed
jackson to walk. Wheeler hit and Jack
son went to second. Flournoy singled to
center and Jackson started for home. He
stopped half way between the third and
home, while Hill made wide throw to
the plate Butler finally caught Jack
son near third. Kelley famed and re-

was soon over, for the one time blues
Jackson let four wide ones go singing by
and Wheeler sacrificed.
Saints Score Twice
FIournoy couldn't be tempted, and he
walked: Jackson stole third and Kelley
chopped a little one just where Ees
couldn't reach it. and Jackson scored.
Martin hit short one toward Akin, who
qaShed IN, only to overrun the ball and
Flournoy scored. Sullivan closed the in

Two on a Base
Jackson began lodging back and forth
gradually nearing second base and
Wheeler was standing with a foot on the
bag. Apparently Jackson and Wheeler
and Sullivan tagged them both. 1t was
evident that some one was out, and
Shuster declared that Jackson was the
unfortunate. Nance was ardently in
so repeatedly, but Shuster couldn't seem
TO hear him. Kelley and Nance had a
little side argument as TO whether Jack
son or Wheeler was out, which ended
hands. 1t looked like they were betting
for keeps, but one would hate to insinuate
that little Willie Nance would do such a
