The Saints took two from the Maumee
Pullets yesterday in an afternoon abso-
lutely unique in the weirdness of play
and the variety of outside features. The
game without Umpire Holiday would
have been a funeral march and the sec
ond was bit of hilarious comedy in which
the umpire and the Mud Hens were joint
stars. Two of the Toledo players were
Frustrated by the heat and a section of
the bleacher railing was broken, tumbling
the fans on top of each other. All for one
admission. Scores, st. Paul IL. Toledo l.;
st. Paul Z, Toledo 8.
As for baseball, it was minor factor
all through the afternoon. Whatever the
intentions of the Toledo players may have
been before the game. Holidays delirious
umpiring reduced them to a bunch of
automatons displaying the energy of the
average evaporated prune. They couldn't
have won at their best, but with anything
like fair break the visitors would like
ly have made their little efforts interest
ing.
When Holiday was in St Paul before
he did good work, but yesterday the late
gnlamented Pears would have been a
Solomon come to judgment in comparison.
On balls and strikes he was simply alb
surd, and his ridiculous decisions alone
kept the spectators awake. He was so
judicial iniquities would make the moral
law look short and curt.
Toledo Is Funny
He was but little better in the second
game, but the extravaganza work of the
visitors made his efforts look small and
puny. In the seventh inning the Mud

ball to ReiSling. Reisling never saw it,
and Brown, one of the live ones, got the
ball off the grand stand. Marcan had
started for third and PIERCE was on his
way to second.
Brown dashed into the middle of the
diamond and worked Marcan down to
