season for outdoor sports, and more than 1900
people went out to the West Seventh street base
bali park to see the second game of the series
the home grounds between Grand Rapids and
ST. Paul. The fact that st. Paul won the game
on Thursday probably made the crowd consider
ably larger than it otherwise would have been.
The suppositon was that Brown would be the
pitcher for the home club, and because he had
never occupied the box since arriving here, there
was considerable speculation to the probable
outcome. For some reason, however, the ex-
pected programme was not carried out, and the
management trotted out its ancient artillery,
Aber and Graves, for farewell performance.
To say the crowd was Disguised and tired out
before the opening of the contest would but
feebly express the situation. Several persons
were mad, and those of them who were not Chris
tians, or had money at stake on the result,
swore right out in meeting. Aber had so often
proved himself miserable failure that no one
dared to hope for victory, and the wonder is that
he was not punished more severely than he was.
Thirteen base hits with total of nineteen is
| quite bad enough, but we think the Grand
Rapids sluggers could have increased the total to
| thirty had they gone about their work with
little more determination. The fact is that Abcrs
delivery is not at all deceptive after the batter

management made a great mistake in putting
him in the box at all. With even passably good
pitcher the home team would have won yester-
days game with the same ease that it did the one
the day before. Graves did the worst catching
| he has done since he returned to st. Paul, hay
ing six passed balls. Foley and Brown each got
couple of errors, but the field in their positions
is so bad that it would be impossible almost to

center was costly but excusable,
he had long run for the
ball. o'Brien got an error, but he evened up
h1s score by retiring thirteen men and making
| two base hits, one of them double-bagger.
Hunter showed his usual strength with the will
low. Carroll had no trouble in hitting the ball,
but in all instances but one there was somebody
in the way to cut him off. His two fielding
chances were accepted in fine STYLE His long
run for foul fly in the third inning was re-
markable performance, and one which not one
| fielder in fifty would have accepted Eden
! couldn't get one from Browns bat in the ninth
inning inside the line, whereas that taken by
Carroll was fully twenty feet outside Hengle

retired five men, assisted three times, hit safe
twice and crossed the plate with two scores, but
