Yesterday the st. Paul team met that Of
Muskegon at the West Seventh street park,
and after the closest possible contest, the
visitors squeezed through with the victory,
the score standing 2 to L. The home nine
presented Foster and Camel as the battery,
Brown at third, Foley at short, and Carroll,
the new man Manager Hunter brought with
him from Omaha, at right. The other,mem-
bers played as usual. 1t was Carrolrs first
day in the team, and it would be unjust to
criticise him on that account He comes
here with the reputation of being a heavy
and safe batter and good fielder, and we
reserve caustic remarks for some other oc-
casion, with the hope that his wear
will make their use altogether
unnecessary. His failure to hold Harter's
fly in the seventh inning after two men were
out was very costly and extremely aggrayat-
ing, as it let in Muskegonis two runs, Civ
ing the visitors the game, but it should be
remembered that he had long run for the
ball and the position he had to assume in
trying to take it was very awkward one.

Carroll got his revenge by taking the ball on
bound and fielding it to first ahead of the
runner. The play was made rapidly and
neatly, and received hearty applause. We
believe Brown a strong man, but he plays
his position rather too carelessly. He got
three of the severn errors charged to the st.
Paul team, but had he been fully on his
guard he would have made none of them.
Camel played a stronger game than
usual, accepting ten chances He had three
passed balls, but only one of them assisted
in run-g getting. O'Brien might have cut off
a man running to third in the seventh, but
he lost the opportunity by throwing low.
Tilley and Barnes had an easy day of it,
getting fly EACH and the latter making a
pretty base hit after having been hiBwith the
ball and so famed that he could hardly run.
Foley assisted the MuskegOn team in getting
its scores in the seventh by tumble Of
Knights grounder, but otherwise his playing
was of its usually brilliant character Hen
gle was Hengle again. He retired three
men, made three assists and gQtltwo pretty
hits to center field. Foster made bold
move for victory, giving the Muskegon hard
hitters but two singles, but a pitcher must
be aided by something more than Provi-
! dence to win. The nome team hit Knight
safe seven times, but the hits were in
seven different innings. st. Paul's run was
made in the second inning, as follows; Fo-
ley took first on seven bad balls, took sec
ond on passed ball to third while Brown was
! being thrown out at first from catcher, and
home on Barnes hit to center, O'Brien hay
ing retired on a foul fly to catcher in the
meantime. TIley closed the inning on "a
foul tip. Muskegon s two runs were made in
the seventh, as follows: Knight reached
first on Foley's tumble of his grounder and
went to second on a passed ball. Brewer
was retired from short to first Wright
reached first on thirds tumble and stole sec
ond, Knight taking third. Cook sat down
on foul tip, and Knight and Wright scored
on Carroll's muff of Harter's fly, Patton
was retired on fly to center. Jennings,
the umpire, is popular favorite, and re-
ceived an ovation of cheers on entering the
field yesterday. Following is the score:
