Two thousand people witnessed
the exhibition baseball game stag
ed by the Millers and the Saints on
the local diamond at the Stearns
County Fair grounds Saturday af-
ternoon. To make this event the
real success, it was the merchants
of the city closed their stores from
two to four o'clock.
The promoters, who staged this
great sport event, are elated with
the results and the cooperation re-
ceived from the fans in this COM
munity. Although they made very
little money on the game itself, the
dance Friday night and other spe-
cial ventures added to make it
worthwhile. If one estimates the eff
fort these men gave to this venture
the returns will barely pay for their
time. Yet, they feel that it was
worthwhile. In truth it was one Of
the largest ventures ever staged in
this community.
The game itself was not as peppy
as many would desire, for Mime
apolis took an early lead, and SEEM
ingly without much effort held the
Saints to one lonely run. Several
snappy plays were made through
out the game, with a home-run
thrown in by Norris. Fans saw the
Cohen-Norris double-play machine
in action, and regardless of the 8
to score should feel that they re-
ceived their moneys worth. Many
Of the fans present had never seen
the Saint or Miller aggregation in
action, and the present lineups will
not be seen again, as several of the
younger players have been called to
the major leagues.
The promoters did everything in
their power to make the visitors
comfortable, even to the extent Of
erecting bleachers on both the third
and first base lines. Besides this
Capt. Scott delegated the members
Of Co. M, National Guards, to police
the grounds. This work was done
excellently without a hitch, as 507
cars were driven from the grounds
in about fifteen minutes.
Minneapolis, first up, was unable
to score in the first, however, Har-
ris connected for a two-base hit.
For St. Paul Warner flew out to
center, Rosenthal hit safe, McMan-
us followed with a single, and Ros-
enthal scored on Todt's hit. Boken
and Norman were out and thus
ended the Saints scoring. The
Saints had men on bases in the
second, fourth, sixth, eighth and
ninth, but were unable to connect
with Buck Marrow's offerings at
the crucial time. With the excep-
ton Of the first inning Marrow
kept his hits well scattered.
Minneapolis scored three runs in
the third frame, when Leitz, catch
er, took one Of Hunters offerings
for single; Marrow sacrificed;
Cohen flew out to left garden;
Gaffke got a single; Harris singled
and scored Leitz; Arlett walked;
Holland doubled and both Gaffke
and Harris scored; Hauser flew out
to right field.
In the fourth inning Norris, first
man up, connected for home-run,
following which Leitz, Marrow and
Cohen were easy outs.
The sixth frame developed an
other three-run score for the Mil
lers, bringing the total to seven.
Holland started out with a single;
Hauser waulked; Norris hit safe
and the bases were loaded; Leitz
followed with a hit scoring Hol-
land and Hauser; Marrow hit into
double play and Leitz was taken
out at second by Boken, who put
