text: EVEN J. S. SHERMAN SEES BLUES BUMPED. ~ Vice President Is Interested Spectator and Felt at Home in Losing Town, Being a Washington Fan.
  Even in the presence of Vice President James S. Sherman at the local ball farm did not break the hoodoo which has been tagging at the heels of the Blues for more than a month and Minneapolis won the second game of the series by a score of 3 to 2.
  Lucky for the Hon. Mr. Sherman, it was a good game and was not won until the last man was out, which kept the vice president and his hosts, D. J. Dean and C. F. Holmes, in their seats until the players started for the club house. Mr. Sherman was a very interested spectator. He was very careful to criticise decisions of Umpire Owens, one of which was very close and the vice president did not agree with his umps. However, after expressing his disapproval of the decision he donned the Sherman smile and enjoyed the rest of the conflict.
