St. Paul licked Minneapolis yesterday after
noon in game intended to be baseball. The
nature of the pillbox park, however, made it
a parody upon the national pastime, and the
bouncing of balls off the fence and guessing

OF what people are wont to pay TO see. 81.

Mr. Cyrus Morgan, st. Paul's famous ex-
was soldering over the sphere like a CHAMBERS
infected drayhorse, and throwing them all
around the plate. He mixed them nicely. First
they would hit the ground in front Of the plate

til he had the millers lodging like the Igorrote
with his head thru sheet at a Clan-na-Gael
picnic. He forced in run or two by passes,
but steadied. He had the ball as slippery as

In the first inning Sullivan got first on q
single, and the mystifying Morgan stabbed
Greminger under the heart with one Of his
slippery-elm shoots. Hart damned down
to Rockenfeld and the man with the key pro-
portions made a mess Of 1t on HIS felders'
choice. and everybody was safe. Freeman and
Fox passed and two were forced over
the pan. "

high that caromed off the top Of the left
field enclosure. He scored when Joe Sugden
singled Sugden scored on Fr1sk's first boom
on the boards-one of those courtesy twobag-
gers. The saints scored again in the third on
Lillian Russell Wheeler's double, assisted by
single by Rockenfeld that brought Lillian
home with her heart futtering like that of a
snake-pursued bird.
The millers came up and tied the going in
the sixth when Hart drew a commuters ticket
to first and circumnavigated on Freemans sac
rifce, oyers out and single by Captain Fox.
altho in the ninth Graham and Yaeger were
sent in to bat for Fox and Shannon just in a
hope of breaking tt:cup. Both were about 4as
