PINNED with two victories Watkins
budding conquerorS- came to a sudden
halt yesterday afternoon at Lexington
park and their fondest hopes were tram
pied under foot even on the verge of real
ization while the coveted place in the
first division slipped further back into the
future. This makes the forty fourth
game the Millers have been robbed of by
the umpire. Score, st. Paul Z, Minneapo-
lis 6.
For the space of one inning it looked as
if the visitors would get everything they
left Minneapolis for, but the moment of
retribution was close at hand and the
Saints more than avenged the wrongs
done to Chech by routing Ferry to the
bench. while A. Stimmel finished the for
lOrn hope. 1t was great day for the
fanatic and the mob that came over from
Minneapolis awaited themselves of the
few moments allotted to them for roofing
with the greatest avjdity. Fondly imag-
lining that the game was theirs at the
close of the first half of the fifth they
INDUCED in much exaggerated talk and
effervescent comment.
The fifth was certainly a lobster and
champagne nightmare and when the first
half was over the gloom that enveloped
the SANITY fan was Opaque indeed. 1t was
soon waited aside. as the timely swats
of Kelley's cohorts lifted layer after layer
until everything was as bright as the
neighbours little boy.
StinameI Comes Too Late
Chech didn't allow but one Miller to
get to first in four innings and then
Watty's pupils suddenly became unani-
nous about hits. and in the fifth they
fell onto Chech for three singles, a double
triple and two bases on balls. which

after all. This concession TO the big
Lacquer set Watty back one game. for had
Stimmel gone in in the fifth the finish of
the Saints would have been lugubrious in
the extreme.
Chech allowed but eight hits all told.
two of them came in the seventh in the
shape of single and a double which
brought Maloney to the plate like hom-

What Ferry got in five innings made
him long for the humdrum and careless
life in the shoe factories of Worcester,
and before he was HE'D to the end of the
bench remote from Watty. the Saints had
seven runs. which was an abundance by
one. In the three innings left for Slim

Manager Kelley returned to the game
after several days in the East, during
which he disposed of Chech for valuable
consideration consisting of numerous dol
lars, and it was up TO his young men to
make up for the mishaps that happened
While the manager was away. The field
ing was fast and clean. and the Millers
had to earn most OF what they got.

Ferry Plays the Bench
A fast double by OBrien and Marcan

been gaining accuracy by throwing the
ball at Weaver, came forward in place of
Ferry. Maloney hit a slow bah to Checll
