Jesse Burkett was up to start the eighth, and he cranked the inning up nicely by beating out an, infield hit. Tooter Brandon was slammed on the hand by a pitched ball as follow up and walked to first. Drake at- tempted to sacrifice the men down three times and failed in each att tempt, being called out for bunting at the third strike. Doc Silva came up and pasted a clean hit to center and the bases were loaded. What few fans were out raised up on their i hind launches and pleaded for a tally or so. Neun's best was a groun- der to first, which Berghammer jug gled, but he was thrown out at first, Burkett tallying. Stump Clarke, who had already hamroered out homer and double during the earlier in nings, was not equal to the task and his grounder to second closed out the frame and the, Barons' chances of at least knotting the count,

 LanSy Tom Sheehan, a former Baron nemesis was on the mound for the Saints. throughout the battle. Thomas, who enjoyed a berth with Connie Mack's Athletics for a time,

Since Tom left the Crackers, he sojourned part of last season with the New York Yankees and was sent to the St Paul club as part payment for Elmer Miller. the outfielder. Tom was in fine fettle Tuesday, and, aside from the eighth inning, he was neve~ in real danger.
 Red Bates started things on the mound for the Moleys, and while the, boy with the henna hirsuite showed a tendency to be wild at times, he made a favorable impression with the bugs, regardless of the fact that he was touched up for six bingles in four innings. and yielded three runs. The fans generously remembered that Manager Mike Kelly has a team of 300 hitters all the way around, and they also got barrel of confidence in Red, when in the second inning, with three men on the runways, Red frightened up and wouldn't allow the Saints to score in that frame.
 Drake Does We'll
 
 yielded the pitching duties to Logan Drake and the young Baron con ducted himself just like seasoned veteran Drake right-armed his way through five innings allowed but three hits for the five frames, and gave up but one score. All of which means that 9toIey will have to have some more locks at the pitcher he de- cided was too green last year, and sent to the bushes for further sea- ssoning. Drake also--whiffed three of the Saints while he Mas in the rifle pit for the Barons.
 The games biggest feature and greatest joy was the hard boiled way in which Stump Clarke treated lanky Tom Sheehans offerings. Stump con nected up for a home run over the left fielder's head his first time up in the first inning, hitting 300 for the afternoon and getting the unusual mileage of six bases out of two blows. Jesse Burkett was the only other Baron to get more than one safe smack off Sheehan's delivery, finding Thomas for two out of three times up. Jesse and Stump got four of the seven hits, while Silva, Harper and Robertson got one each.

 Christensen and Dresser did the heavy stick-work for the visitors. the latter taking Armstrong's place at third after Umps Harry Swacina had grown peeved at the Saint third sackers remarks from afield. Swats probably didn't figure that he re- sembled Saint in the least, for he chased him from the pastime in . rather brusque manner.
