B-lSE BALL NOTES.

for a Club in st. Paul--Old
Red Caps in Cleveland--Record of Last
Weeks Games.
On dit, that strong ametuer base ball club
is about to be organized in st. Paul And why
not? There is abundant material in the city
for club which, with the practice that could
would be able to make it lively for the best
George Allen, Ahern, McKibben, Frost,
the Berkmans, Scotty, and many others.
To make such move success Minneapolis
ought to go and do likewise. Like st. Paul
that city has plenty Of material. Both cities
have good grounds, and with such clubs as
might be organized, a series of games might be
played alternating between the two cities that
would prove attractive and remunerative and
would undoubtedly result, before tbs end of
the season, in visits by some Of the best clubs
in the country.
A St. Paulite who has been accustomed to
watching the base ball games at Red Cap Park
last season, looking upon game this season in
engaged, would be inclined to imagine
himself looking upon a Red Cap game.
He would see Gross behind the bat,
Salisbury sending the balls into him, Allison
covering first base, Ely taking in all the fys
sent out into the left field, Eden, the hard hit
ter of the Brown Stockings, Minneapolis doing
the same for the right field, and Phillips, Of
last seasons Clippers and Brown Stockings,
attending to second base. The other players of
the nine have no Minnesota reputation
but their play is, with perhaps
one exception, equal to that of their associates.
This being the case, St. Paul admirers of the
game will not be surprised to learn that the
Forest Citys are playing very even, strong and
winning games, taking all the semi-professional
clubs in that vicinity with neatness and. dis
patch, some of the games being really brilliant
and mostlfaultless. Speakingsof game last
week at Erie, the Dispatch of that city, speak
I'M, nf,bo of SATURDAYS IT. pitching says: The
effective and the Fries seemed to have trouble
in passing the ball out of the reach of the
felders.' The Cleveland Plai1adeozer, COM
mentlng on the same game, also says: 'Sauls-
bury by his brilliant play more than atoned for
his omissions on the day before, and now that
we expect it of them in the future They
ought to be team second to none-thats what
they are here for. Eden made one grand long
fly catch in left field and threw to first base in
time to make one of the finest double plays on
record: Phillips, too, made one difficult field
ing play which entities him to long credit
mark; he slipped while chasing the ball, but
from his knees felded to first and scaIped
runner The career of the club for the re-
mainder of the season will be closely watched
by good many St. Paul people.
