PLAYERS LEAGUE.
Omaha y. ST. Paul 2.

The ST Pauls went out to the ball park yes
terday afternoon naughty and defiant and
with very revengcful look in their Apostolic
eyes.
Omaha was getting trifle too familiar, and
they determined to take a little of the concelt
out Of her.
But when they left the field they were as
quiet and subdued as so many lambs belong
ing to Mary.
For the Black Sox gave them another lam
basting.
Eight to two-that was the exact dimen-
sions of the victory
Easy, wasn't it'll
However, it was anything but lively or
interesting game, both teams going at their
work like section hands with big cut before
them.
Clarke was in the box for the locals and
pitched about the best game of the season. 1t
came high, but the management had to
have 1T.
Two hits was the sum total made off of him

single by Mclaughlin.
That shows what this young man can do
when he is compelledto.
The fielding on both Sides but particularly
on Omaha's was quick, sharp and brilliant
1t was another lovely day tor ball playing,
and yet the audience was as light as a straw
hat.
But it's all right. Omaha won again, and
this afternoon the town will turn out
Omaha opened up with a vigor that was as
refresh hing as the evening breeze from Cut
OF lake.
Meekin tried hard, but he couldn't "put
'em over" and Canavan trotted to first on
balls.
He stole second, and then Walsh, Kearns
and Cleveland followed with safe drives in
breathless succession, and the three first
runners sailed into port by easy stages.
Newman advanced Cleveland to second on
his out to Halves, and after Andrews had
also persisted at first. Grover came home on a
lucky single by Willis.
1t was hot one, with red side whiskers on
it, and Colonel Sweeney allowed it to get
away from him.
Moran's high fly to Lord Murphy ended
the inning.
For the visitory Abbey got his base on
balls. Dads spherical convoutions, gyra-
tiOns and reticulations were too soon for the
sluggers from the home of the walrus and
the polar bear
The second, too, began auspiciously for the
Black SoX, for Clarl1e's grounder was FUN
