The st. Paul team " as Outbatted yes
terday afternoon. but the magnificent
work of the infeld saved the day. Con-
ley, O'Rourke and Ely were everywhere.
and O'Bren was Il veritable stone wall
at first. COnley accepted ten chances.
Ely seven and O'Rourke three, and all
without single miSplay. Indeed, the
only error of the home team is that
charged 10 Abbey in the ninth inning.
Hamburg's work at left field is worthy
of special mention, his catch of Man
ning'S fly in the sixth being very fine.
The sixth inning was marred by gen
eral all-round row, participated in by
the umpire, eighteen players and por-
ton of the spectators. After O'Rourke
had popped up a fly to first, Abbey
was given a base on balls and
stole second. Baldwin smashed the
sphere to Johnson, who let the ball get
by him, and Manning was unable to
reach it in time to retire the runner. To
the surprise of the spectators and all
the players, Baldwin was called out for
running out of line, though there was
not the slightest chance to retire him.
Capt. O'Brien tired to get Umpire Col
linS TO change his decision, but that
official was Obdurate, and Baldwin had

Abbey had reached third and "Hck
ory'' Carpenter had secured the ball.
Johnson made a motion as if he were
going to pitch, Abbey stepped off the
base and Hickory" touched him. At
this point Collins called Abbey to the
plate and allowed him the run on
balk. This made the Kansas City men
furious. and they talked for five or
ten minutes without accomplishing
anything. In the last half of the
inning Hoover made hit, and
stole second, being able to secure the
latter Oh apiece of dirty work by Smith,
who deliberately got in front of Bald
win and prevented him from throwing
the bali. There were already two men
out. however, and Smith was retired on
a fiv to left. The score was a tie and
the excitement intense. Kansas City
had made two in the first on hits by
Manning, Hoover and Smith, one in the
third on hits by Smith and Stearns, and
three in the fifth on base on balls to
Smith, single by Stearns aud cork
ing home run by Pickett over the left
field fence. ST. Paul made one in the
second on Hamburg'S base on balls
and IartS double; four in the fourth
on base on balls to COnley, an error
at second on Ely's grounder, Hamburg's
hit, a base on balls to Hart, Good
enough's grounder, on which Ham
burg was retired. a base on balls to
VRourke and Abbey'S hit to center.
The run which tied the score in the
sixth was made as stated above. In the
seventh a hit and passed ball sent
Hamburg to second, and HartS safe
drive to left tailed him. In the eighth
Abbey hit to center, went to third on
Baldwin'S hit to first too fast to field
and scored on O'Brien's long fly to
center. The st. Paul team had thirteen
men left on bases, and with a little
stronger stick work in several places
. could have made the score much larger.
Elmer Smith started in to pitch for the
visitors, but retired after the fourth
inning in favor of Johnson. The score
follows:
