Water consumers who haven't anti-freez-
ers should have all outside hydrants taken
out to prevent freezing until the cold
weather is over. The water company will
do this for 25 cents, and it will save you
ten times that sum during the winter. All
hydrants that are left standing should be
carefully wrapped, leaving only handle and
mouth Of faucet exposed.

WINKLEMAN'S SPIRALS
Hardly Touched by the Young
Men From Nebraska.

The Omaha aggregation of bali play
ers made their official appearance ON the
Minneapolis field yesterday afternoon.
Though the team was somewhat weak
ened by the absence of O'Conuell, one
of its heavy hitters, half-dozen O'Con-
nells would not have changed the result
of the game. The weather was in
tensely warm, and Winkleman's left
arm was limbered up in fine style. His
erratic delivery sent the ball over the
plate in spirals, and the efforts of the
Bacon City boys to find il became
ludicrous. Two solitary hits were
made, and but for an error by
Hawes, in dropping thrown ball that
he was too sure of, an easy shut-out
would have resulted, and not an Omaha
ite would have passed second base. Ten
men famed out, and only five times was
the ball hit outside of the diamond.
Lovett, the one-time star of the West
ern association, was in the box for
Omaha, and was pounded hard. When
ever hit was necessary it was forth
coming, besides which eight long flies
were pulled down by the fielders.
Patton opened with a new bat,
and Lovett was the easiest
kind of meat for him. Patton also
played his field in good shape. McCul-
lom took two flies and Jevne had moth
ing to during the game. With the ex-
ception of the fifth inning, Omaha went
out in one, two, three order. In that
Inning, Miller, the first at bat, hit a
hard one TO Walsh, who fielded it to
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-06-17

Hawes, but the latter dropped the ball
and Miller got to third. Winkleman
then hit Nagle with the ball and he
stole second. Wilson made the only
clean, clear hit of the game and brought
in two unearned runs, the next three
going out in succession. For Mime
apolis. Jevne led off with a hot
one between Doren's feet, on which he
got second. Patton hit to center for a
single and Jevne scored. Welsh struck
out, but Patton stole second and scored
on Howe's two-bagger. Huwe stole
third and Scored on Winkleman's safe
one to right center. In the third Welsh
hit terrific fly, which Burns muffed in
the left field corner, and the runner got
second. Howe's sacrifice sent him to
third and he scored after Burns had
caught Winkleman'S long fly. Wilson
muffed Mullen's throw of McCullom's
hot grounder in the fourth, and Mac
scored on Broughton's line drive to the
corner for two bags. Patton opened the
seventh with a long double to the center
field corner and scored on two success
sive outs. Tebeau opened the eighth
with a safe one to left, stole second.
took third Oh BrOSnan's sacrifice and
scored after McCullom's long fly fell
into Burns hands.
The game was decidedly pretty one
all around, and easily won on it's merits.
The fielding of the home team was
sharp and decisive, and while Omaha
made few errors, none of them had
any effect on the game. The official
score follows:
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-06-17

home, and Veach made successful
attempt to reach the plate Oh
seconds tumble of Shafer's grounder.
Carroll opened the third with a fine hit
to center, stole second, went to third on
passed ball and scored on Veach's hit
to right. Reilly's hit sent Veach to
third, and he scored on Shafer's out. In
IN fourth Duryea got base On balls,
went to third on Murphy's double,
and both scored on left field
er's failure to get Morrissy's fly,
The error was an eXcUsable one, as
the sun was directly in Hassamaer's
eyes. Reilly began operations in the
fifth with clean drive over the left
field fence. Pickett and Kemmler each
hit ball to the infield too fast to field,
and Duryea's hit sent Pickett
in. Ardner failed to stop Gunson's
throw to catch Duryea at second,
and both he and Kemmler scored.
The Blues scored their only run in this
inning. Veach muffed Johnson's fly,
the runner going to second, stole third
and scored on wild pitch. st. Paul
added a couple in the sixth on singles
by Morrissy, Veach, Reilly and Shafer,
and the twelfth in the eighth ON hits by
MorrisSy and Reilly and an error by
Cartwright. The score follows:

Special to the Globe
CHICAGO. ILL.,, June 16.-Political ex-
citement down town was too much for
the base ball enthusiasts and not over
500 attended the Maroon-St. Louis game
to-day. 1t was as well, however, that
the rest of the cranks stayed away as
the game was uninteresting throughout,
except for what little excitement was
caused by an avalanche of errors in the
ninth inning, which let in three runs
for the Maroons and five for the st.
Louis team. 1t is sufficient COM
mentary on the game that seventeen
runs were made, and not solitary one
of them earned. Each one had to be
wrapped in swaddling clothes and car
