by the st. Pauls-Hesterday's
Score, 13 to %.

Quite 1000 people witnessed tn,

terday the public, confident in ''our
invincibles," expected to see the boys
wreak royal vengeance OF the visitors,
and speculation went that way with
liberal odds. The weather tempered of
the unnatural heat of the past few days
was magnificent, and the spirit of both
players and spectators were highly
pitched. Rockwell and Visner and Gal.
vim and Dealy constituted the opposing
batteries.
McKelvy won the toss and sent the
guests to the bat. Carroll-"little light
ming" as they love to call him in st. Paul
the active, faultless p%ersonation of base
ball skill, first stepped to the plate. The
second ball from Rockwells hand. met
his fancy and a long drive into center,
supported by the ~fleetest of base
running, gave him second. He scored
before his side retired. The L. P.s lost
their first opportunity by the simple rule
of three. The second inning gave both
sides two and one respectively. The
third added a tally to the visitors and
blanked the boys. In the two following
innings, home talent underwent a marked
improvement andthe only good playing of
the game, on the part of the
of the redoubtable McKelvey, who
famed out, everybody on the list went
to smuggling. Sneed did some phenome.
nally GOOD work, batting two scorching
singles and one of the longest foul flies
ever made on the grounds. Seven runs
were added to the roll, and when the
sixth inning commenced, "the boys"
held a leading margin of three. Here
Omaha relapsed and for the remainder
of the game offered the weakest showing
they were capable of. Meanwhile the
st. Pauls were pounding the ball in the
j~olliest fashion, adding score after score
to their credit IN bank until in the ninth
they crawled out OF reach
in a succession of four runs. Even
at the last moment the
trusting faith in ''our side" was not aban-
doned and the audience kept its seat
with hopes bent 90 seeing the boys
make up the fatal deficiency. They
were disappointed, Sneed alone making
the round, the side retiring on cut.offs
by both Dryer and Taylor at first and
Rockwell's short fly. A good deal could
be said of the game. 1t was in but few
instances a poor presentation Of profess
ional ability on either hand and although
there is no question that defeat fell
where it was merited, it is at the same
time surprising that more runs were net
made on both sides. For the Union
Pacitics, Taylor distinguished himself
with splendid double play in the third
and a wonderful piece of base stealing in
the fifth.
Sneed at right field made some very ugly
and costly errors, but at this time of the
year the afternoon sun is directly in his
face, and field work in his position is diff
fcult. McKelvey, ordinarily one of the
reliable men, succeeded in striking out
three of the five times he was Mt the bat.
Visner, the new man taken from the
keokuks, established himself, at once,
as a good catcher and q safe batsman.
Walsh, C%avanaugh and Dryer played
an average game, each sharing at inter
walls in the general Generalization of the
whole team.
Rockwell presented his accustomed
cool and steady front, and pitched in his
usual thorough a
For the visitors it can be said, that
presenting an average of excellence
backed by another nine in the person
of Carroll, they are almostas good a team
as the U. Ps. In fact, they are the
strongest team which has opposed four
boys" this season. But before leaving
Omaha it may be safely predicted they
will meet some ball playing on the part
of local talent hat the two opening
games of the series have not warranted
them to expect.
Strock's umpiring YVES uniformally just
and unquestionable. Mr.. Strock, during
the past few weeks, has won for himself a
very fattering reputation as an accom-
plished base ball judge.
Following is the official score:
