Michael Angelo Kelley went to st. Paul
yesterday, where he was having court Wrestle
with Georgianna Lennon over a little matter OF
few thousand dollars. No one knows who was
left to run the team yesterday afternoon In the
game with Milwaukee, but whoever 1t was
should be taken out behind the clubhouse and
admonished with the rough side Of an ash

It's no wonder that it c1ouded up and ra1ned
last night. 1t enough to make angels
weep, and some of those in the bleachers did.

Iader was the china decorator for the. locals
and for eight innings he did not allow g. hit
He was as wild scared hawk and issued
passes galore. When things looked Woody for
him Cassius frightened up and struck out bat,
tiers with careless abandon that sent the thflil
Of life along the keel Of the bleachcrs. In the
ninth two hits made off the tw1rler and
Gene Ford was sent out to plug the hole:
Cliff Curtis was pitching for Milwaukee. and
had everything he needed. He allowed seven
hits but kept them SO scattered mat me MN

damage.
All of the scoring came in the ninth and tenth
innings Green for the wooden-shoe team fell
Into shoot and slammed 1t out against the
fence for two bases. Clark sacrificed and Bate
man scored Green with a, single. Andrew JACK,
himself into ball like frightened possum,
and Curtis found the mark too small to shoot
at effectively, passing him. Shannon sacrificed,
and Fox's out sent Oyler to third. Yaeger came
in to bat for Cadwanader ana rather George
laid the crowhar into it for long single, scor-

Then came the tenth with Barry Mccormick
scoring on twobagger, Robtnsons out and a

locals and singled. Jimmy Hart who should
have hit it seven miles, made punk sacrifice
and pushed Sullivan out at second. Hart was
forced by Greminger and Freeman died al

but were handicapped badly thru the work OF
Umpire Ovens 1t Is to be hoped that 1t was
an ''oG day. for him, his work was about
ever seen on a professional diamond by a mar
who asserts that he has eyes. 1t totally
eclipsed anything ever perpetrated by Steve Kane
in his worst moments-and that's going some:~
