What do you know about the
Saints? They showed the Frankl1ns
up in the tenth spasm yesterday af-
ternoon at the copper works dia-
mond before a crowd of about four
thousand fans, score Z to 4. 1t was
a neck and neck race to the last lap
and when the Saints drove three
men over the rubber in that round
the crowd on the box car howled
with glee. Nobody but those who
saw the game can realize the intense
excitement that prevailed and every
now and then the enthusiasm of the
rooters got beyond their control and
fistic encounters ensued which re-
lieved the tension of the crowd, for
with one accord they rushed from
their chosen spots to view the bat
ties. In the tenth inning excite
ment ran SO high that the game had
to be stopped for several minutes in
order to clear the field of rooters
who had tried to assist a fellow root
er who was In difficulty with a man
Of the other faction.
The game began with a hop, skip,
and a jump, the Saints going out in
one, two, three order. The Frank
Inns had better luck and Ellie was a
little unsteady. He passed Olsen,
and Miller hit to center, bringing in
Olsen, who had managed to get over
a lot Of ground before the ball was
pitched. Fritz was given a pass and
the next three men went down the
line, putting the side out.

Then the Saints settled down and
BANKED them the next inning, but in
the third the Franklins got away
again and rolled In a couple Of runs?
Fritz was first up and he banged out
a little bingle. Apologize was thrown
out at first. Foster batted out a
short infeld hit to Ellie, who threw
to first. The toss was bad and Fos-
teI took the sack. Fullerton banged
out 20 left but was caught. In the
meanwhile Fritz came in and Foster
was on third. Foster made home
plate and Brosky tipped n to Ellie
and was thrown out at first.
The Saints started theirs in the
fifth, when two men were under.
Gallagher was on base and a drive
to left which was poorly handled
advanced him to third and put out
Toolin on second. Hunt stepped up
and slammed out a pretty ~three-sack-
err and cleared the bases Of the run
ners. Yenk was hit for the second
time and Coley was handed a ticket.
Loeser famed and put out the side.
The Saints started again in the sixth
and Ellie drove a circuit rounder
with DUNCAN on base, tallying two
more counts.
The score was then 4 to 8 IN favor
of the Saints, and the followers of
the Franklins were beginning to
doubt the outcome Of the game when
Sullivan tapped out q "beaut' that
was good for the entire track, tieing
the score. That ended the chances
of the Franklins, and after that they
were unable to score.
Tie Causes Excitement.
From that stage Of the game on
until the last round the race was tie.
The fans were getting restless and
when the ninth round came up the
excitement was intense. 1t soon be-
came evident that another inning

second. Gallagher was passed and
Toolin let loose another homer,
bringing the score up to IA, where
1t remained to the end. The Frank
Inns were unable to make anything
in the last inning. Foster was
thrown out at first. Fullerton hit
but was caught trying to pilfer a
base. Loeser was tripped up on a
fly to left and the side was out.
Both teams played a good game
and the errors were caused by the
people who crowded around the play
ers at the wrong time. The fans
pushed on the field on all sides,
making it impossible for the felders
to work. Many chances were lost in
this way and it is possible that the
Saints would not have made the
winning runs in the tenth had the
crowd been outside the lines. Man
ayers Of both teams are going to try
to arrange for Amusement Park for
the third and deciding game, which
will be held in the near future, al
though no date has been set for it
up to the present time.
Ellie and his men played well,
making only four errors, many of
which were due to the crowd and in
some measure ~excusable. They sue
ceeded in making eleven good clouts
at the ball. A~pplegate's crowd also
made four errors which were due to
the fans, but they did not make good
In the hitting, making only seven
hits. The surprise of the day was the
batting Of Sullivan, who knocked
out a homer in the sixth, tieing the
score. He also made good on several
other periods in the game.
Yenk is Unfortunate.
Yenk was unfortunate and got in
the way of Applegate's curves twice.
In the second inning he tried to get
home on Loeser's hit, but the Frank
Inns left garden man, Loeser, made
a fine throw from deep in the field
and caught the rune at the plate.
Both mines did their best and were

have had less runs in 1t for the hits
