Even In victory we can be magnanimous.
While Minneapolis may have made the Co.
jlumbus players look like bunch of Hirams
tossing hay in the river bottom there is no
reason why we cannot put them right and start
them in some avocation whereby they can make
sn honest living and become real spokes in the
wheel Of industrial life. To that end we take
pleasure in reprinting from T hi Journal 8
want ad. pages these little gems-harbor lights
OF hope for the young men whose aspirations
were blasted by Blum Fox and his band at
Nicollet park yesterday afternoon. Hulswitt
and Ryan might take up the army life Lefty
Davis could fill the requirements of the offer
for a coachman.- Pickering, Barbeau Veil and
Brown might take whirl at the railroading and
Congalton and kim might try the fracturing
of the granite We have reserved the farm
job for DARBY Day d" Bill Clymer and if he is
not married already we will also undertake to
get him wife (newcomer) on short notice.
Now that we have provided places in the quiet
life for them 1t Is no ones fault, save their
own, If they rush onward in the path of base
ball destruction. -4-
Yesterdays game was smallbeer and sand
witches for the reds. Columbus, at the head of
the list came up to the northwest to wipe up
TIE stain of recent defeats. Ed Sievers was
sent into the Indian mound to head them off
and when he finished the senators were look
ing limp as cheese cloth bathing suit at
Halls island. The millers took after Veil in
the first inning and after fine round of frenzied
fumbling, passes and hits the locals had smeared
up four runs on the discounted visitors.
The Airship Swing.
Columbus went first to bat and altho Ryan
made a single the side was whtrled out before
at first base. Then came the grand walk
around. Jones was passed and stole second.
Sullivan allowed to walk and he too
swiped the second position Jones going out on
his attempt to steal third. Freeman struck
out. Coulter drew four balls and Battleship
Greminger cut loose his Ia board battery for a
fine thru center field. This scored Sui
Ivan and sent Coulter to third. Father Bill

the ball to Lefty Davis in right field. Coulter
started home and Lefty made fine throw to
head him off. Veil got in the way of the
throw and detected 1t enough that it got by
Brown at the plate and Coulter scored. Grem-
niger had been running In style that was los
ing him ten pounds a second and he came over
got the ball to try and throw Marshall out
at third and NJ. Barbeau allowed it to percolate
thru his lunch prongse and roll out to quiet
spot on the grass. Father Bill tore home before
the ball could be brought back and used as a
stopper for aspiring base runners.
Oyler and Fox both stung up Veil for singles,
but Andrew Jackson was caught trying to sneak
home. These four runs came in very handily.
Shooting: the Chutes. q i
Fired by their success the millers took the
field and went after the visitors In the style
of hungry dog 1ooting garbage can. 1t
was one two three order for the second and
third innings, but in the fourth Davis and Ryan
singled. Davis was caught attempting grand
: larceny at third and Congalton forced Ryan at
second. Fly-outs ended the doings for Columbus.
Then came four more innings in which it was
one-two three out, back bench-you-b boomers
for Columbus. This brought it up to the ninth
inning when Pickering stepped UP to the bar
and rung up the Severs cash register for a
trip-hammer swat that put the ball over the
fence hard it struck fire when it hit the
car tracks in Nicollet avenue. Ryan had jawed
saUmps Sullivan and had been banished to the
bench and Bill Clymer was in at second. He
drove out a nice, clean single, but it was
wasted effort, his warriors kboshed
behind him and he could not get beyond second
where he had stopped thru virtue of passed
ball. This lone score represented the Columbus
activity Of the day IN scoring line.
Dumping the Bumps.
Minneapolis had been pluggin galong, maxim,
hit or two in almost every inning. In til,
seventh Jones got his only single of the da,
