Fugitive from justice Slattery beat
a slow going cop from the field in the
last half of the sixth period of yester.
days charity performance and was
going easy at the finish. He won
breezing, but the spectacle was too
much for his teammates and they for
feited the game to st. Paul, rather
than continue. The forfeit was very
easy picking, as the Brewers had 1t
slight lead and were showing a dis
position to play ball, although the
Saints We're on the verge of scoring
when Shuster made his little presenta-
ton speech to the grandstand. Score,
st. Paul 8, Milwaukee 0.
The frothy Brewers had worked in
four counters by the end of the fifth
and nearly got another in the sixth.
Flournoy opened the sixth for the
Saints with a roller to Hemphill at
short, but Hemphill bIundered and
Flournoy reached first. He went to
second on a wild throw by Curtis and
Householder sacrificed him to third.
Up to this time there was no sign of
the impending rumpus but when Shus>
ter called the fourth ball on Martin
Slattery exploded terSely and vigorous
ly.
From the stand it looked as If Shus-
ter had made mistake, but this was
soon lost sight of. Slattery was not
1nduiging in any drawing room con-
Versation and he expressed a wide
range of views concerning Shuster,
more pungent than polite. Finally
Slattery let go a whole mouthful and
ShuSter ordered him froms the field
The Brewer catcher was not disposed
TO hurry away and once more the gang
plank was lowered for the Officer to

Slattery Wins Foot Race
Slattery didn't take kindly to the
policemans orders to hurry and the
policeman swung at him with his club.
Slattery was there with the nimble side
step and it was strike one for the cop.
A quick change came over the catcher
and while he was disposed to
move with excessive slowness pre-
Viously, his main idea now ap-
peared to be to travel fast. He
took a sprint. with the cop after him,
but few strides convinced him that
the bluecoat wasn't in his class when
1t came to footing, and he logged to
the right field entrance under the
bleachers, with the minion of the law
toiling determinedly and laboriously
after him.
Slattery shed his chest protector I'M
der the bleachers and one of the Brew
ers brought it back for Kid Speer to
adorn himself. HemphiIl and Clark
took up Slattery's confidential opinions
about Shuster and the rest of the team
Joined in making painstaking efforts
to omit none. Cantillon, who occu-

Held egress, sent some word to his
workers and they successfully resisted
all ShuSter's efforts to get them back
on the field. There was huddled
mass of hall players and policemen
around the plate, when Shuster wormed
ms way out of the crowd and holding
nigh his hand for silence, said:
Ladies and gent'men, the game is
given to St Paul, nine to nothin'''
This little speech was received with
appropriate applause, and as the rain
drops began to patter on the grand
stand, the fans decided everything
was all right.
Brewers Shift Positions
Kilroy and Curtfss were working
against each other. both slightly lack
ing in control with the Brewers err
fors counteracting their hits. Three
singles were recorded off Curtiss, while
kllroy allowed twice that many. The
Brewers made several changes in the

his old position at third and Hemphill
came in from center to play short.

and Jackson sacrificed. Jones went to
third on Wheeler's out. Flournoy roll

scored. Flournoy was caught at the
plate on Householder's fielders choice.
The second and third innings were
without results to both teams. The
visitors came near scoring in the
fourth, but not near enough to count
Householder, who played first started
the Saints half with single to right
and went to third on Martins single,
which fell just little short of being
two-base hit.
