The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-05-24

A chronicling Of the thousand virtues Of
the Widow Wadman would not be more
difficult than to undertake to tell just how
and why Minneapolis lost yesterdays
game to Milwaukee. It was one OF those
eleven inning functions in which the
pitchers were not hit hard enough to as
locate the jaw Of a jelly fish, St1mmel
was on the rubber for the locals and has
the speed Of bill collector, the curves
Of a chorus girl and the control. at times.
Of coal oil magnate. Str1cklett was on
the slab for the Pabst people and gave
away hits after the manner Of Russell
Sage throwing dollars to newsboys on
Park Row.
Minneapolis lost, but the defeat was a
glorious one. It reminds one of the old
time Autograph In which the head OF the
household was under the dining table with
the kids bull terrier chewing his ear. The
urchin was inploring the old man to grin
and bear It dad, as it's the maxim OF the
pup" If the millers 80 thru the season
losing games like that of yesterday and
finish in last place the fans will vote 1t
O. successful season.
Milwaukee scored In the first inning.
ssHeine" Schaeffer came up to bat and
smeared the ball over left field. He went
to third on hit by Pennell and scored on
the failure Of Weaver to get his lunch
prongs firmly on the ball when the throw
came in to stop the German at the plate.
Minneapolis struggled along until the sew
enth inning before they broke into the
going. In the third inning Schaefrer
reached first on commuters ticket Issued
by Chef Stimmel and was shunted to sec
ond by a sacrifice. An out at first allowed
him to get to third and he came home on
another wallop by the punchsome Pencil.
Then Minneapolis put the kibosh upon
the brewery hands and kept 1t there I'M
til the eleventh inning. In the seventh in
ming Watkins men came in and started
things that brought heart ease to the
pinch and squeeze union in the stands
Campion led off with a scratch hit and
went to third on a steam derrick throw by
Striclllett. Fox drew a base on balls and
stole second. McNichols made a single
and the hit combined with little boot
play by Milwaukee allowed the two mil
lers on bases to canter to the plate. This
tied up the score. The stands woke up
and became ecstatically appreciative. The
score stood as 1t was until the eleventh.
In the tenth things looked good with
Oyler and stimmel on the bags on hits,
but Maloney punched up a pink fly and
sadness settled once more.
In the eleventh Stricklett led with a
single. Schaeffer-the sausage-came up
whistling ''Dopple Alter"
"schlage es einmal!'' commanded Stat
terry from the bench.
He did-for two bags.
''Solch Elm geschaft," yelled Maloney,
In a rage, when O'Brien followed with a
single and Schaeffer scored on fly out
by Clark, pushing Stricklett across the
plate in front Of him. Pencil was then
assassinated and Minneapolis came in.
Sullivan and Coulter knocked all the oil
out Of the ball for singles each. Campion
sacrificed and Pencil dropped Weaver's
fly. Sullivan scored Leslie was then up
and hunted the ball direct to O'Brien, who
whipped 1t around for double. The lid
went down with a bang and Cantillon got
up and sat on it. Following are the tear
