Shusart's wild throw to first base
after two wore out in the sixth inning j
h.j-t a ball gam? to Columbus at Lex
ington park yesterday that should
have been a shuf-out for ihe Discov
erers, and should have been won by
the Aivstles in the eighth, when Heine
Hpies made a two-base drive to center
Held with two men on the bases.
Danny Friend, the south paw from
the lake front, pitched an erratic game,
;,nd had the locals been able to hit the
ball when men were on bases the chan
ces are Friend would never have Rone
into another base ball contest, save
with great fear and trepidation.
Even the luck he was in could not
drive the pallor from his blanched I
cheek.
Fricken held the visitors down to
f a dozen safe hits, and while his
own wild throw in the seventh inning
contributed to the run which finally
won the .came, his pitching record de-
Berved a victory.
He and Shugart threw out Wolverton
In the beginning, and Frank's hit was
wapt.il. as Tr'oeau forced him out. Af
ter Burkes fly to Genins, Friend pre
sented two Paints with sacks, but
Glasscock flew to Knoll, and Geier to
Tebeau.
Fricken fanned Genins, but gave
Hulen a base, hitting him with the
fourth l).tll to make assurance doubly
rare. Knoll beat out a slow hit, which
Fricken, Shugart and Glenalvin in
turn tried to get, but Shugart made a
r.iaprnitiot-nt stop and throw on Buck
ley'a slow grounder, and Burke ran
away into Geier's territory to get un
der Friend's fly. The fielders collided,
and Geier's spike cut Burkes foot, but
riot seriously. Shugart fanned, and
Gillen and Spies failed to get the ball
1 ujt safe.
Wolverton and Butler had gone when
Fricken presented Frank with a base,
and Tebeau was thrown out by Gillen.
Friend gave Fricken a base. Burke
gave Wolverton a high one, and
Fricken was forced out by Miller. Glen
alvin put a stiff grounder through
Hulen's district, but Glasscock only
got the l<all in the air for Wolverton's
amusement.
Genins fanned again in the fourth.
Hulen put a fine line drive over sec
ond base, but his legs were not as fast
as Heine's throw when he tried to
purloin a sack. Knoll's fly to Shugart
snded the half. St. Paul's inning open
ed with the presentation of a base to
Geier. Shugart hit a slow grounder to
Gt-nins, who collided with Geier on the
base line. Each accused the other of
being at fault, but the umpire ruled
Gt-ier out for interference. It made
considerable difference in the score,
too, and when Sheridan came back to
the stand again he was greeted with
& Btorm of hisses. After Gillen flew to
Hulrn, Friend got rattled and filled
c sacks with wild ones, but settled
in time, Burke batting the first ball
that cut the plate on a high trajectory
to the paws of a small Knoll in center.
Columbus went one, two, three In the
fifth, and after Miller and Glenalvin
w«re out without the ball passing sec
o«d, Classcock put a liner over second
and Geier a nice grounder over short.
The clip was too fast for Shugart,
however, and he was thrown out by
W'ulverton.
Butler beat a bunt opening the sixth.
Frank sacrificed. Shugart threw out
Tebeau. but threw wild on Genins, and
GHasscock had to step ojt the base.
Butler scored. Hulen dro^»W % over
second base, and he and Geains worked
the double steal successfully, before
Shugart threw Knoll out.
Gillen flew to Wolverton and Spies to
Frank, Fricken striking out. Buckley
hit to Gillen, who threw low, and the
runner was pafe, the ball bounding from
Glasscock's knee back to the pitcher's
box. Friend bunted and Fricken threw
the ball onto the grassy terrace which
Btfetchea away to the Lexington ave
nue gate. That let in anofher run.
Wolverton went out on a grounder to
GJasscock, and Geier, after catching
Butler's fly. made a fine throw to the
plate and caught Friend, who tried to
come in from third. Burke struck out
end Miller only hit to Friend. Glen
alvin was given his base. Glasscock
hit a hard liner at Hulen. who reached
it with his right hand, but could not
clench the glove about it tight enouirh.
Friend threw Geier out.
Frank's fly to GiMen and Geier's catch
under Tebeau were followed by a fine
two-base drive by Genins. Fricken
gave Hulen a base, but Knoll forced the
short stop and the side out.
When Shugart secured a present of
a base at the opening of St. Paul's
half, the bleachers warmed to the at
tack somewhat, and pandemonium
reigned. Gillen put a liner through just
out of Hulen's reach. Spies hammered
a hard one into center field. Knoll tried
for it. but could not block the ball, and
Shugart scored. Fricken struck out,
but Burke hit a fly to center, and Gil
len came in on the throw. Miller had
a chance to tie the score, but Butler
got under his fly.
Shugart threw Buckley out and
caught Friend's pop-up, and Glenalvin
closed Columbus' ninth with a pretty
r>]ay on a hard drive by Wolverton.
The Saints had one more chance, and
foi a few minutes It looked as though
th<? persimmons would be consigned to
the Apostolic delegation. After Glen
ilvin sent a long fly to Knoll, and
Qja«Bcock put a safe one through the
Infield. Knoll muffed Geier's high one.
It looked as though a special dispensa
tion had been granted to the locate to

pull out of the hole they were In, but
when, after Shugart fouled the old ball
out of the game, a new one came into
play, the impression was accentuated.
But the first time the new ball was
pitched it cut the plate. Shugart met
It with the force of a thirteen-ton ham
mer\ and drove it far down the right
fcml line. But then the mask was torn
off the face of deceptive Fortune.
Frank caught a ball that nine cases
out of ten would have been a two-base
hit. Gillen hit a grounder to'Wolverton,
was thrown out, and the locals had

LAST OP THE SERIES.
St. Paul and Columbus Close at I.ex
lnarton Park Today.
The St. Paul and Columbus cluts will play 1
the last game of the present home series ths
atternoon at Lexington pirk, game being j
called promptly at 3 o'clock.
It is probable that the batteries will be the |
same as in the game of Thursday, Phyle and
Spies - and Jones and Buckley.
The Eastern clubs now go home for another '
series and the Saints open at Omaha Tues
day. After a series at Kansas City, they
will return for the mid-summer series with
Minneapolis, which will close July 7.
It is not often that one team has fourteen :
men left on bases in a single game.
In epite of the fatal errors, the fielding on 1
the whole, was of a hgh order. Glenalvin
and Shugart especially made some fine stops
and throws, while Geier's throw that resulted
in a double, was a masterpiece.
It was evidently a bad day for pitchers to
trifle with Hulen.
Loftus and Comiskey could each stock up i
on pitchers. Mulane and Flggsme'er are |
foot-loose.
Shugart took ten chances out of eleven, so ■
the one error may be looked en mercKully.
The Tebeau of 1897 has disappeared from j
the diamond. The Brush board of discipline j
seems to have taken all the yap out of him.
How long is it since the locals wen a Sat- !
urday game?
TIGERS TAKEN DOWN.
Beaten by Millers in Second Game '
of the Series.
The Millers took the Timers down !
the line yesterday at Nicole: park,
Minneapolis. It all happened in the '
seventh when the visitors were one run '
in the lead. Elliott pitched a good !
game, but with the hits mad 2 off of |
him together with two errors by Hines. j
which proved costly, the Millers put |
four more over the plate and cinched I
the game. Norton was the first man up !
I and fanned. Rice got four bad o.ies
i and walk;d to first. Letcher rapped thi
! ball near Hines, who threw it high to
Turner, a nd Letcher took his bas\ Lai
ly then hit a pretty single and Rice
scored. Campau connected, putting tiie
ball up against the left fleli fence.
While he went to second, Letcher and ■
Lally came home. Rellly hit the ball
almost into Hines' hands, who was late
in getting it to Turner, and on a close ''
decision Rellly held his base. Campau
I made a successful steal to third and
went home on a fly by Dixon. Davis
flew out to Hines and the trouble was
over.
Two hits off Elliott, a base on balls
and an error by Pequinney in the
fourth were responsible for the other
two runs scored by the Millers. Elliott
I then struck two me^ out and the third
j flew out.
It was one, two, three with the Tigers
In the first three innings. In the
fourth Dlllard got a hit and died on a
j base. In the fifth two visitors were on
I bases when Elliott went out at first.
In the sixth Pequinney walked, and
Dillard hit the ball for the second time.
Duncan got a fielder's choice and Dil
j lard was caught at second, while Pc
! quinney scored. Turner got a fielder's
• choice and Dungun was caught at sec
or.d. In throwing the ball to Letcher at
first in an attempt to make a double,
Rjce threw high and the ball went into
the bleachers and Turner got to third
base, but Nicholl went out and Turner
1 died where he was. In the seventh
j Hines hit safely, Shame got a fielder's
choice and Hines was caught at serond.
Twineham then rapped out a neat two
base hit and advanced to third on a
wild pitch. He scored on a fly by
Elliott. Pequinney went out and the
j side retired.
Outfielder Davis, who has been with
the Detroit team since the beginning
■of the season, appeared in a Minne
apolis uniform to3ay, having been
bought by Manager Schmelz. He will
play in the outfield for the Millers.

phenomenal run from Becond in the last half
of the eighth inning on Hagan's single won a
closely contested game for the Blues. In
the fifth-. Gear was changed from right to

BASE BAIL BREVITIES.
"Ace" Stewart has a way of getting on
the line between the bases when he has to
field a ball and a runner is coming from
first. The scheme worked successfully yes
terday, and tSewart touched out two run
ners, throwing to first and completing double
plays. The day may come when Stewart will
get in the way of the wrong man, and then
the wooden leg factory in Indianapolis will
have to work over-time.— Kansas City Times.
O'Hagan, of the Kansas Cltys, De Montre
ville, of ihe Baltlmores; MeCreery, of the New
Yorks; Mcßride, of the Oinclnnatls, and My<-ra
of the Washlngtons, were at one time mem

The Omahas will give Flood, of the dis
banded Cedar Rapids club, a trial at second

riet was a cycling event more impor
tant than any in the previous history
of Minneapolis.
Shortly after noon the riders began
to be out In force, and all the good
roadways leading to the lake were one
continuous procession of wheelmen.
Particularly noticeable was the fact
that the women bicyclists predominat
ed, and they were out in their beat.
It was a typical day for a road race.
Nothing more could have been wished
for, and 10,000 people gathered to wit
ness the sport. The gathering was one
typical of a road race meet, made up
principally of wheel folks and admir
ers of bicycle riding.
The racing of the (Jay was of a clean
order. There was not a single case of
rowdyism, not a foul perpetrated as
far as known by the judges, and not
an accident in the races.
The dealers', race, which was the first
event, once around the lake, was won
by Louis Larson, with Price, second,
and Edwards, third.
The second event was the amateur
race, once around the lake. The men
received good starts, and were soon
around the bend>t>ut 100 yards distant
and out of view. The finish was a
pretty one. It was between the four
fast riders, C. R. Tyler, of Duluth,
William Martin, St. Paul; Joseph Deer
ing, West Superior; C. H. Lewis, Min
neapolis. The men lined out after
rounding the pavilion, and finished in
the order named.
Then came the professional, once
around the lake. This was one of the
exciting contests of the day. Entered
in it were the riders, well known to
cycling enthusiasts, John Nilsson, Har
ry Hale, Birney Bird, Charles Hofer
and Charles Palm-. Palm took the pace
at the start and set out at a lively
clip, with the others closely following.
Bird managed to squeeze by Palm
within fifteen feet of the finish, and
won the race. Palm was second, and
Hofer third. Tffe time was 6:37%.
The twenty-mile amateur must be
considered as the xreat race of the day.
Out of the ninety-two entries, eighty
six men started, the largest credited
any road in the coimtry thus far this
year. There were _, ; fourteen scratch
men, and five men who were given the
limit of seven minutes. Despite the
fact that the four-min
ute and five ajid a half minute men
numbered ten, "eleven and eleven re
spectively, stjjH-ts -'..- were all., made
without any g spills. Before half
the distance w£g covered, there were
two large bunches, with a few strag
glers in between, It was a bunch of
fifteen at the finish, and some lively i
riding was done, Sudheimer pulled
out ahead, closely followed by Flair.ii
gan and Kellar. The race for second
position was a decidedly close one. The
time for the limit men was 59:14, and
j- the scratch men 54 minutes. This
shows that the scratch only" "gained
three minutes, and forty-six minutes
. on the limit men, who were in at the
finish.
For the fifteen-mile professional
: there were -twenty-two starters, with
T. L. Biid, Harry Hale, Charles'G.Carl
i-:on, Guy Norton, ike~- limit men and
JuJu} Nilsson^ CharTes Palm. B, B. Bird
and- "GhaiMesj Hofer '7o|T'~scratt ; li. The
; scratch" men* Were wCff : off at'' the start,
I -arid kept up % merry speed through
j the entire race. The four men h.ad it all
| to themselves., and came around the
finishing corner; .with Birney sMghtly
in the lead. He finished over a wheel's
length to the good. The fight was
closer between the others for second
place, but Hofer dodged in a little be
. fore Palm, with Nilsson a wheel-length
behind. The time for the Tom Bird
was 40:30 and B. Bird 38:23.
The triplet race was looked towards
as the fastest race of the day. The
teams were made up as follows: Day
ton, Tom Bird, Charles Hofer, B, Bird;
Tribune, Charles Palm, John Nilsson,
j John Lidberg; Andrea, Billy Jackson,
W. 11. Kellar, A. N. Nelson. Much was
I expected of the Dayton team, it being
admittedly made up of three of the
strongest riders in the state. For what
-reason is not known, but the Dayton
did not make the first circuit, drop
ring out of the race before half a mile
; had been, ridden. The finish was not
| an exciting one, although the race up
to this time had been a pretty one. The
Tribune won by twenty feet, in 12:36.
This concluded the day's sport, which
lasted from 2*05, until 6:30 o'clock.

COMMERCIAL CLUB CYCLERS
HAVE THEIB FIBST BUN OF
THE SEASON
Take Sapper With the Coaniuerclal
Club, the City OfflclalH and Maj.
KltzKt-rnlfl at he Workhouse
Addresses by Judges Wlllh and
Orr Race In Front of the Club
House by Sixteen Members.
The Commercial cliib cyclers could
not have had a better day than yester
day for their initial 'run -of the season.
They gathered at th^ coFn:r of Summit
avenue md Dale street at 3:30 and got
Introduced all around for fifteen min
utes or so, and then, headed by Presi
dent Willis ar.d Capt. Gedney, started
for Como. Stops were made opposite
the base ball r-ark. for Sscretary Stlne
tn look through a crack In the f.nce
and get the scare up to date, and at
the high bridge over th 2 railroad trask
because everybody seemed to have dis
covered suddenly that it was a hot
day. (
Arrived at the Cyclers' club house, a
stop of twenty minutes was made for
a lemonade all around, and then thi
club rode over to Maison Fitzgerald,
vulg-arly known as the workhouse.
<«Jy 'T*^ ■'"^ >- " ■ ' ' ' '^^3B» *
JUDGE JOHN W. WIIX.IS,
President of the Commercial Club Cyclers.
There the members were joined by a
large number of members of the Com
mercial club and members of the city
government. Maj. Fitzgerald, his w.fe
arid assistants then took the crowd in
hand and piloted it 'through the insti
tution, explaining as they went the
method of operation. First they visited
the women's room, a dozen inmates
were busy sewing. Next the sleeping
apartments of the male prisoners were
visited, and 'then the crowd went to the
factories upstairs'. The men were at
work in the broom-makln? department.
Every process cf manufacturing a
broom from preparing the straw to
neatly tying it on its handle was shown.
In the knittins department thousands
of pairs of sicks mad? d.inng the win
ter season were shown. The machines,
however, were idle.
Going thence to the basement, Maj.
Fitzgerald shewed his visitors how the
food was prepared for the people under
his charge. As it was then nearly G
o'clock the evening meal was in prepa
ration. Everything was scrupulously
clean, from the dozens of big white
loaves of bread to ths smallest of the
cooking utensils.
Then came the treat of the visit — sup
per served to 150 people right in the
regular dining room of the prisoners.
The meal, served in large part by
the prisoners themselves, was an ex
ccllenit one, composed of cold meats,
white bread, coffee, condiments, ice
cream and cake. Near the close of the
suppor Judge Willis arose and warmly
thanked Maj. Fitzgerald on behalf of
the city officials, the Commercial club
and the Commercial club cyclers, for
his kind invitation to take tea with
him.
As Mayor Kiefer was not present
Judge Willis called upon City Treasurer
Horst to respond for the city. The
latter excused himself and asked Judge
Orr to respond. The judge made some
humorous reference to his instrumen
tality in sending so many people to
Maj. Fitzgerald's hostelry and "joshed"
several prominent people present, to ths
amusement of it-he crowd. The enter
tainment closed with "A Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonlgiht," prettily sung
by Maj. Fitzgerald's son.
From the workhouse the cyclers and
their friends returned to the club
house at Como, where a race had 'been
arranged to be participated in by all
members of the club. It was found
that no arrangement had been made
to keep teams back from the region
of the pavilion, so the race of two and
cne-half miles around the lake had to
be abandoned. It was then agreed
that the race should be a mile, the
start to be on the north side of the
lake eastward and around to the club
house. Capt. Gedney measured off the
distance, and then, as it was admit
ted that he could ride away from any
man in the club, he rode an exhibition
mile in three minutes flat. About this
time several riders with weak lungs or
weak hearts got away, and only six
te-en riders went to the starting point.
After several failse starts the riders
got away at the Hash of the flag pret
ty well strung out, with Judge Will
rich a furlong in the lead. In the first
half the riding was slow, and Judge
Willis seemed to be "soldiering," and
it was hard work to keep Stine from
riding right into the lake. Coming
around the turn Elmer Dearth shot in
among the trees, and was not seen
again for a long time. Swinging into
the three-quarters it was a hot con
test in the Smith family, J. Magill
leading Theophilus by a nose or so.
Then the strong face wind began to
tell on some of the boys, and Willrieh,
Stine et al. began to fall back without
orders. In the last quarter Hallberg
rushed out of the bunch with a Tom
Bird burst of speed and passed under
the tape a winner amid the plaudits
of every pretty girl on the grounds,
as the victory was a popular one. Cof
fey was next, and the Smiths rushed
under the wire almost nose and nose.
Several others were right In the bunch,
and several others were not, notably
Gilman and Willis, who claimed to
have thrown a shoe or something.
Willis bought the cigars for the crowd,
but hinted to some of his friends that
he could really have beaten Gilman
had he wanted to. Considering the
wind, it was stated by an expert — at
everything else except bicycling— that
