FROSTY THOMAS
THE GANDY CHILD
Man from Pike County Hands the
Lime to Grillo's Big
Leagners.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
Played.
The Battle Begins.
Piatt and Abbott were chucker and snatcher
respectively for the hens, while Thomas and
Shannon took up the artillery work for the
millers. Toledo started off the proceedings in
the first Inning with two hits, but not a hen
got by second base. Minneapolis could do noth
ing in Its half. In the second Toledo got a
hit, but nothing came of it. When the millers
came up Greminger put the steam on and
lammed one thru the infield that set the hens
to cackling. He reached third on a sacrifice
*nd an out, but after two inflelders had had a
chance at Fox's drive, they nailed the captain
at first just as Greminger sneaked across the
disc, without counting.
Affairs were peaceable until the fourth, when
Oom Paul Kruger bent his energies against a
vicious slam and settled on second base before
Lefty Davis could corral tho pill. Nance then
found Frosty for a single and the man from
the Transvaal came home. It was the last and
only time that a hen got within scratching dis
tance of the plate until the eleventh, when
Count Eugenia Demontreville started up a
pally and drove out a two-base bunt. He
reached third on the next out, but the millers
i stung the third man before the count could
pursue himself home.
Millers Break In.
1
The millers did not get into the run habit
until the sixth. Dennis Sullivan came up,
Father Piatt slammed over an inshoot and it
clipped Dennis on the arm. He took bis base
amid the Jeers of the hens, who Intimated that
"he got hit a-purpose." Hart sent Sullivan to
second with a clever sacrifice and Peaches
Graham walloped Wiley for a good long single.
Sullivan came home like Archie Hahn doing
the last ten yards of the hundred dash. This
tied up the score.
The battle waged fiercely until the tenth when
it looked as tho the millers were going to get
it. Lefty Davis, after Thomas out, led off with
a souse on the nose of the ball that was good
for two corners. Piatt was as agitated as a
Minnetonka dogfish In the bottom of a boat. He
lobbed iu a wild one and it rolled out of Ab
bott's hands and into the dandelions. "Lefty"
pranced to third base and issued a proclama
tion to the effect that Sullivan was to knock
the ball over into the Wonderland lake.
Sullivan tried to get it into Smith Hall's
bathtub, but it fell inside the fence and Nance
nailed it. Hart was over-anxious and popped
up a high foul which fell into the clutches of
Paul Kruger. This left Lefty far from home
and mad as a bobcat in a bear trap.
The Sun Shines.
Then came the eleventh, when the sun broke
thru the clouds and the glorious light of satis
faction settled in the souls of the local popu-
Wesley Piatt trotted out a slow, straight one.
"Mother, mother, mother, cast your eye on me."
Bang Greminger as he turned on one heel and
put about thirty-horsepower on the wagon
tongue. He met the ball squarely and it sailed
for the milkweed territory. He landed on sec
tbd base and reached third on a bad throw of
Wiley's to catch him napping on second. Gra
ham then came up, hoisted a faraway out to
left field and Greminger came home so fast that
the air behind him sounded like a Great North
ern passenger train ripping over the stone arch
I bridge. The day was done. "S'flclency,*' as Sam
Bernard remarks

O'LoughMn.
Frosty Thomas put a turtle egg into the nest
of Jed Grillo's mudhens yesterday at Minne
haha. It required eleven Innings to turn toe
trick, but Frosty came into his own with a
round turn and bad the liens as helpless as a
rabbit in a barbed-wire fence. The old cam
paigner had speed, curves and splendid control.
When the hens clouted him and got on bases
the man from Pike county shifted his assort
ment of slants and worked himself out of the
hole. He was given faultless support, despite
the raw weather, and the victory by a score
of 2-1 was deserved.
About 5,000 willing talkers assembled In the
stands to assist in the performance, and ren
dered yeoman service In calling the hens names
at critical moments. When noise was wanted
to rattle Wiley Piatt the crowd met the emer
gency with sterling fortitude. It only required
the wave of an arm from the coaching line
to set the bleachers to buzzing, and/ when
Battleship Greminger steamed into the drydock
with the winning run in the eleventh inning
there was nothing doing but a disturbance that
lasted until the last streetcar had been filled
until even the car starter was filled with com
passionand it takes something less than 200
people In a car to satisfy the craving soul of
the corporation man when handling a baseball
crowd.

NOTES OF THE GAME.
PRESIDENT JOE O'BRIEN drifted over from
St. Paul yesterday afternoon and watched the
plucking of the hens.
BIG ED GREMINGER earned his ride back
in the bus. He was fOnr times at bat, made
two singles and a double, scored once^'made
three put ours and four assists.
SULLIVAN, by the way, put up a mighty fine
job of arbitrating on opening day and yes
terday.
THERE is joy in Billy Curran's heart.
"Lefty"' Davis started slamming the ball again
yesterday.
ELEVEN INNINGS and not a pass shows that
"Frosty" has'found the seam In the ball again.
THERE is some talk on Washington avenue
today of running Frosty for mayor.
A LARGER crowd saw the game yesterday
than that of Saturday, opening day, and the
weather was not much better at that.
THE BLBACHERITES amused themselves by
giving the Indian yell at Jude every time he
came to bat. Jude was formerly an end on the
Carlisle football team.
THOMAS had the blankets on Bill Clarke,
Jude, Knabe _and Piatt. None of them got a
hit. Demont, however, played the hog and took
three.
HANK GEHRING only got one chance in left
field, but he took that gracefully.
GRAHAM took seven chances at short and got
away with all of them Without a wobble. He
also participated in a fast double.

Three thousand fans saw the Tonys defeht
the S. & L. by a score of 6 to 0 in a game
played on the Tony's grounds yesterday after
noon. The S. & L. were in the game at all
times and fought pluckily tho the contest was
going against them, but the almost perfect
fielding of the Tonys made a home run impossi
ble. The only error charged to the Tonys was
made in the ninth and the S. & L. failed to
profit by it. Some of the Tonys seemed to be
after batting records and warmed things up a
bit. Halstrom binged a three-bagger twice and
is credited with one double. Nelson and Olson
have a double apiece and Rule made two sin
gles in four trials. Only four men, Morrison,
Donahue, Schultz and Paulson, were unable to
connect with Pitcher Dahlgren of the Tonys.

CHRONICLES FORFEIT GAME.
With one score to the good the Chronicles for
feited their game with the Donahues yesterday
afternoon rather than abide by a decision of
Umpire Brennan. In the eighth inning the
score stood 7 to 6 iu favor of the Chronicles,
but after the dispute the umpire declared the
game won by the Donahues 9 to 0. The con
test was full of excitement.
SALZERS DEFEAT ARCHERS.
Lizaark's lumbermen redeemed themselves and
showed that they are still to be recokoned with
In amateur baseball by defeating the fast Arch
ers by a score of 7 to 2 yesterday afternoon.
The fact that the Salzers stood no chance to
loose at any stage of the game, was pleasing
enough to the partizans of the North Side team,
but took much of the interest out of the con
test. Hokanson and Rohmberg, who pitched five
and four innings for the winners respectively,
played a star game. The former allowed, but
two hit and the latter came out untouched.

HOLZEBMANNS WON.
The Holzermanns defeated the A. O. H.F
No. 6 club by a score of 16 to 8, in* a very one
sided game, played 'yesterday afternoon. The
cold wind took the snap out of both teams,
and both played ragged ball. The Holtzermanns
won out on their heavy slugging.
GOT THE WRONG PEW.
Baseball players .from the Minnesota Loan &
Trust company and from the Hennepin County
Savings and Swedish-American banks, who went
over into Southeast Minneapolis to play boll
Saturday afternoon, had some harrowing ex-,
periences.'' The game was .started on the old
Coliseum site, but after it' hnd progressed two
innings a bunch of university students hove in
sight and annonnced that the grounds werfe
theirs. A flipped coin averted a" clash and de
creed that the downtown players ""mors on.
They tried the University drill ground for a
while, and then, for some reason, not stated,
moved to the campus hi front of the armory.
Here the bankers, who were losing, decided that
the game had gone on long enough and quit.

Says Saturday's Beating by Illi

Development.

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, May 7.Coach Stagg is out for Wis
consin's scalp. The maroon director will devote
his time this week to putting the finish touches
on his track team in preparation for the Wiscon
sin-Chicago dual meet at Marshall field next
Saturday. While the midway representatives
met defeat Saturday at Champaign, Stagg be
lieves they have a fair chance to dispose of the
badgers.
Lack of development is te chief cause ascribed
to the Illinois defeat. Several of the men had
received little attention from the coach since
his retrrn from the south. This will be reme
died.tlfls week, and the. weak places fortified so
far as possible with the poorly balanced material
on hand.
The maroons will have to meet a stellar
bunch in the Madison team. The badgers are
sure of many points with such men as Parsons
-la the dashes, Springer iu the pole vault, Waller
fn the hurdles. Waller and Rideout In the quar
ter and Myers in the half. The Wisconsin ath
letes made a great impression at the new Illinois
club's charity meet last March, at thi Coliseum,
where they won two firsts, three seconds and two
thirds fn a high-class field.
"Illinois has a finely balanced team," said
Coach Stsgg. "However, they have not enough
tars to be counted as strong conference con
tenders. I think we will have a better chance
with Wisconsin.' The bafdgers have a number of
good men, but I don't believe the team is well
balanced.

IT HAS OFTEN been remarked, and truth
rully, that a good player^ does not always make
a successful manager. Cleveland fans will one
of these days get this fact thru their noodles.
A FAN with a liking for statistics figures
out that baseball costs the people of the United
States more than $5,000,000 annually, and the
pill is growing heavily every year, but so small
is the per capita expenditure and so great the
enjoyment which is deidved from the game that
it is contributed with no complaint.
ACCORDING to Captain Clarke of the pirates,
John J. McGraw has been playing the races
heavily lately and has let lots of, from $5,000
to $25,000 get away from him.

asserts that his bunch will play aggressive ball
this year. "Under Hanion they played on the

they'll be on the offensive."
THE NE W YORK newspaper men with the
Highlanders sent home reports blaming the um

stupid -jriay was-the cause. Had the Nationals
made the bungles the Yankees were guilty of

MAGNATE FARRELL may as well give up all

MONTREAL is dickering with Clarke Griffith

GEORGE TEBEAU contributed cash for the

BERGEN of the Brooklyns has many of the
characteristics of his brother, who formerly
played in Boston. Martin, however, was more

Collins, Long and Nichols the honor of bringing
the national championship to Boston in 1897.

Jacobson's delivery pleased him Thursday and
he walloped out two long singles. A third time
up he promenaded over the four-balls route.
Davis' field play was also gilt-edge.
"NICK" ALTROCK, the whitesox's crack
left-hander, who told President Hedges of the
browns in straight-from-the-shoulder language
what he thought of him for refusing him passes
for Thursday's game in Sportsman's park, will,
after all, likely sidestep, all trouble. Hedges
intended wiring to President Johnson, telling him
of Altrock's verbal assault. He wrote the
telegram and then tore it np. Next he wrote a
voluminous letter, citing the incident full.
Later that was also destroyed. "Censider the
source from which my abuse came," says
Hedges. Hence no complaint goes to Uncle Ban
and "Nick" will likely escape the reprimand
that was coming to him had the boss of the
browns wished to prefer charges.

Metropolitan Handicap to Bring
a Cool $10,000 to the
Winner.
Journal Special Service.
New York, May,7.While the sport at Aque
duct and Jamaica has leen much above the ordi
nary, what is known as the "real racing sea
son" will begin at Belmont park next Thursday
with the Westchester Racing association's spring
meeting.
Several new world's records were made at this
track last fall, and there are more to follow.
During the Belmont session, which is divided
into two meetings, the important events will be
the Metropolitan handicap, the juvenile stakes,
the Whitney memorial steeplechase, the national
stallion, withers, ladies', eclipse and historic
Belmont stakes.
The Metropolitan, a $10,000 affair, at a mile,
will be run on the opening day. It is Hot yet
definitely known whether H. P. Whitney's Bar
gomaster will start, but It is generally believed
this great Hamburg 3-year-old will be reserved
for future events. The Whitney castoff, Israe
fel, by Meddle, who won the Kings county han
dicap in a romp on Saturday, will start, and
he will have a following, too. Essentially a
front runner, and a good one, he will be hard to
beat, it is thought, with a comparative feather
on his back. Then there are Merry Lark, win
ner of the Excelsior, fit and ready Roseben, the
champion sprinter Delhi, Tokalon, Oxford, Tip
toe, Aeronaut, Bed Knight, Colonial Girl and
Hamburg Belle (who has been showing fa6t time
trials lately). Ormond and Wright also will go
to the post.

Stillwater, Minn., May 7.The Toozes of Min
neapolis won from the local Athletic associa
tion team by a score of 14 to 12 In a rather
listless game, yesterday afternoon. The one
spectacular feature of the game was the work
of the Toozes in the first of the ninth. The
score stood 8 to 2 in favor of the local team,
but by a desperate batting rally the visitors
filled the bases and before the round was over
had crossed the home plate twelve times. Four
runs was the best the locals could do in their
half of the inning. The score: E
