loping,
Omaha and st. Louis Play
TWO Games, Each Winning
One.
Des Moines Beaten at Kansas
City and Chicago at Mil-
Waukee.

Minneapolis won two ball games yes
terday, but only claimed one of them.
The day was not promising and slight
drizzle fell over the South Minneapolis
ball park, but the play, rain or shine"
announcement brought out the crowd,
and $500 people spread themselves over
the seats. The ground was in good con-
ditiOn, as the mist soon ceased, but the
livery Of st. Paul was conspicuOuSly alb
sent from the field. The locals amused
themselves upon the diamond and the
crowd gOOd-naturedly waited, but the
blue and white stripes came not.
Finally, after waiting half an hour, Um-
pire Hagan called game. One ball was
pitched and the game given to Mime
aDOlis by a score of to O. Manager
Gooding then announced that if the st.
Paul team appeared the postponed game
Another wait of half an hour occurred
and the 4:20 train pulled in with the st.
Paul team on board. When informed of
the forfeit by Umpire Hagan, Manager
Barnes made Il decided protest and said
it had been raining hard in st. Paul. He
said he sent a telegram at 10O'clOck, but
when the dispatch was produced the
filing mark showed after II o'clock,
and the receiving stamp at
$40. Finally Barnes said he
would play the game as scheduled, or
play not at all; so GOOding, rather than
disappoint the crowd and issue rain
checks, waived the forfeit and the game
proceeded. Such a game it was, too.
Kicks came at every turn and delay fol-
lowed delay, but it was finally ended in
the gathering darkness. Lucky Tuck
crman lost his first game, the tickle god
desS favoring Minneapolis at every turn.
st. Paul fell upon Nicholson very hard
and batted viciously enough to win two
games, but they played a ragged field
ing game and every error counted
against them. Minneapolis played
sharp game and the two trifling errors
cut no figure, Tuckerman was
hit hard enough, and hit about
by the locals on errors. Ringo had on
his Slugging clothes and pasted the
leather in an astonishing way. Patton
also did fine work with the stick and
stole bases reckleSSly and successfully.
BroSnan, Hawes, Murphy, Carroll, and
even Baron kemmler found the eccen-
trio sphere about as they wanted it and
pounded it accordingly. The catching
of Broughton and Ringo and the long
throwing to the plate of Jevne
and Carroll were specimens of the fine
raggedly, by turns, and Walsh and
Shafer each made phenomenal stops of
hard-hit balls. Umpire Hagan never
had harder game to ajudicate, and his
work was satisfactory all around.
MINNEAPOIIS BEGAN SCORING
in the second inning. Hawes led with
a single, and was sent i'll on Bros
mans long drive over the center field
fence. In the same inning, after two
men were out, Kemmler hit for a
base, and Tuckerman surprised every
body by making a drive for two bags,
on which the baron scored. Both sides
were BANKED until the fourth, which
Halves opened with hit. Brosnan hit
an easy one to Tuckerman, but Pickett
dropped the throw and both men were
safe. Then McCullOm hit to Tucker
man, but Baron Kemmler was dream
ing, and when Tuckerman threw to
third nobody was there and HaweS
scored, the other runners advancing
base each. Broughton fouled out to
Ringo, and Kemmler threw wild to
Veach on Jevne's easy ball, Bros
nan scoring and McCullom going to
third. Jevne was picked up at second
trying to steal, but Patton's hit sent
down with Walsh'S fly and Patton got
third, stealing home while Ringo,
Pickett and Shafer were trying to run
Walsh down, in which they failed. In
the same inning, when Ringo came to
bat, he had blood in his eye, and the
first ball Nicholson sent was driven
over the left field fence for home run.
Pickett and Anderson followed with
hits, the former scoring on two outs.
Hits by Murphy and RingO in the fifth,
followed by a tielder'S choice, brought
in one run, and both teams rested until
the seventh, when Patton made hit,
stole two bases and scored on the effort,
once more, to run Walsh down, which
again failed. St. Paul added one also
on Carroll's two-bagger, his steal of
third while Patton caught Veach'S
fly, and a single by Ripgo. Minneapo-
lis added two in the eighth on a single
by Brosnan and double by BroughtOn,
aided by Il wild pitch and a block ball
st. Paul went in for the last half of the
ninth with the score standing 8 to 5 in
favor of Minneapolis. Murphy opened
with tWo-bagger and got third on
Kreig'S tumble Of CarrOl's hit. Veach
hit an easy one TO Nicholson and went
out at first. but RingO came to bat and
again sent the ball Whirling over the
fence. With one man out and three
runs III things looked SQually. but Ringo
was held on third to keep Broughton up
to the bat. The course proved unWiSe,
as Nicholson was Steadied down and
tielded Pickett out at first and struck
out Anderson. The official score fol-
lows:
