INSPIRED BY ST. PETER.
Why Elmer Foster Has at Las,
Begun TO Play Ball.

Elmer Foster, the 81 900 beauty of the
New York Giants, has many friends in
Minneapolis, and not all in ball circles
alone. who are interested in his career
in the East, especially since wholly
wanton and gratuitouS stab at him in a
local paper few weeks ago. Elmer is
doing his best in every way and his
house at Minnehaha Falls is progressing
finely. His friends have remarked that
he has been played regularly, of late, III
the New York team and has done good
work. The New York World tells how
he received his inspiration:
Fosters playing of late has been a source
of great comfort 10 his admirers. His base
running yesterday was first class, and be is
hitting the ball as often as the rest OF the
team. The agile left fielder attributes his
success in batting to a dream he had last
week. lie dreamed that he stood before the
gates of paradise parleying with st. Peter for
.'Where do You hail from?' asked the saint.
From New York, replied Foster.
what did you do for your daily breadg"
81 am one of the Giants"
SIS that so:" said st. Peter. "Who won the
championship this year,
I'VE did: but am sick Of it, and would
like to sign with you"
After sduaring several bets on the result,
ST. Peter asked: why are you tired of it?'
"Well, 20 tell the truth" Foster replied, Il
couldn't hit the ball"
Couldn't hit the ball You make me sick.
Go back and line EN- out. and don let me
see YOUR face again until you have a good
record Since then Foster has hit the ball
often and hard.
In Yesterdays game he was instrumental
in bringing one OF the Giants runs across
the plate. and the impression is gaining
ground that he is fast getting into his old
time form.

A COSTLY ERROR
Enables Omaha to Win a Game
from St. Paul.

The opening game of the last series
on the home grounds was witnessed by
less than 200 people. The contestants
were st. Paul and Omaha, the latter
winning on an error by Earle which let
in two men. The hitting was hight on
both sides. and. had the fielding been
perfect, no runs would have been
scored in the nine innings. The errors,
however, were not numerous, the field
ing being generally accurate and some
times brilliant. The catches at the
fence by Meyer and COOney, the catch
of a line fiy from CaTrollS bat by Annis
and throw by Murphy TO the
plate, retiring a runner, were all pretty
pieces of work. Pickett gave a star eX-
hibitiOn of base running in the seventh
and McGOrr led with the willow. Muir
ply scored ST. Paul'S only run in the
fourth on a double to left and a couple
of wild pitches. The locals threw away
a chance to win in this inning. Nor
riSsy was hit by the pitcher and went
to third on Pickett'S hit to center. The
latter tried to stretch his drive into
tWO-bagger, but was caught at sec
Ond. and MorriSsy was doubled
at the plate. In the sixth inning
McGarr opened with a hit, and, after
CoOney had been retired. Crooks hit
sent him to third. Meyer hit an easy
grounder to Tuckerman, who threw the
ball little high to Earle. In under
taking to get the sphere down quickly
10 touch McGarr he let it 90 through
his fingers TO the back stop, both
runners scoring. This settled the game,
the only one Omaha has won III st.
Paul this season. The score follows:

in the programme of games laid out for

upon to-day, in consequence of which
the club will play 10 more games here

An additional reason for accepting the
proposal. aside from the monetary con-
sIderation. was the fact that the Sioux
City club has notified Morton that its
games scheduled for this city had been
abandoned. Davenport has disbanded,
so the Western association will now fin

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-There was little snap
to any OF the markets at the opening OF

quiet. May wheat started &c higher at
SAC. The lowest point the wheat market
touched was SJ5sc. The decrease i'll the
visible was only 614,000 bushels but it did
not weaken the market any, as it was ex-
pected it would The whole market, to
sum it up briefly, was controlled by Sat
urday's transactions, in privileges. The
highest point May wheat touched was
sac, at which figure it closed.
Corn was absolutely featureless. May
opened at "a &c, and ranged for the day be
tween 5356@5414c, closing at the latter fig
ures
While provisions were rather quiet,
there was still an undertone of strength 30
the market As the session advanced, it
was developed that there was some very
good buying orders for pork around Sl5.lO
and May did not touch this figure, except
momentarily, but once during the morn
ing. There We're several bulges to $l5.1f1@,
which was the opening prices, and May
bulced up to S15.55 at the close. May lard
sold at 81. go to s.. 20, and closed AT 800.
Nav short rib sold at $50 to s. 97]ZZ, and
