DIAMOND DUST.

Some Of the fans have begun to fear
that with the team in its present con-
d1t1on 1t will stand small show of sue
cess with the Kansas City Blues and
M1lWaukees, which open here next
week. The alarm is groundless THE
only man laid up now is Mullane, and
Comiskey will have a new pitcher on
his pay roll before the week is over.
Mullanes injury will not keep him on
the bench more than a day or two lon
ger In all probability he wilff> be
ready to go into the box On Thursday,
or Friday at the latest. Pepper is. in
may be called upon in a pinch, and he
is developing remarkably fast. 1t may
be that he will be sent in with Jones
or Johnson against the Grand Rapids
have another game here-today with
Grand Rapids and tomorrow with the
Hottentots. The team is by no means
weak. At any rate, Comiskey himself
feels no fear, and he may be relied upon
to pull the team to the front.
Grand Rapids will show up in the
field today with a. much stronger team
than that which confronted the Saints
on the West side last Sunday. Glenal-
vim, of the Indianapolis team, - will
make his first appearance with the
Gold Bugs, taking his old stand at
second base, and in addition to him
there are two or three other new play
ers whom Deacon Ellis has recently
signed. Who will pitch 1t is difficult
to say, but Ellis will send his best
man in the box and try if possible TO
take at least one game of the series
that it will be stiff game of ball to-
day, instead of a repetition of Sunday S
f1asco.
No matter what pitcher goes in the
box against the Saints at present, he
will be hampered, if the work of the
past five days is any criterion. The
Saints have never batted SO hard, and
are ready for anything in sight.
The G lob e s prediction that Tim
O'Rourke's streak of bad luck was only
temporary, and that the clever third
been partially verified. Yesterday Tim
played a star game, and showed a
marked indication of recovering his
batting strength. He touched Nops
for two long doubles and two sharp sin.
giles, and every hit was productive of
runs. Every man gets an off week or
two. Tim has had his, and he is play
ing ball now. All he needs is a little en-
cOurage cement.
Camp has also recovered his batting
ability Lately he has been hitting like
a fiend, and every pitcher alike has
suffered at his hands during the past
six days. His home runs have been
frequent. and doubles more so. In one
gan e asst weak he touched up the Twill
er for three doubles and a single. He
is fielding handsomely, and may be SAID
to have rounded to his old form.
The battery today will probably be
Jones and Comiskey or Johnston and
Comiskey. If two are not enough there
are others.
Think of it! The Saints took that
game yesterday with twenty-eight safe
hits, the greatest number secured on
these grounds this season by any team.
They could have made more, but it
wasn't necessary. Nops is not to St.
Paul the terror that Denny Long
claimed.
If we win today and Milwaukee loses
we will step into third place, and if so,
we propose to remain there but a short
while as there are two others in our
way, Kansas City and Indianapolis.
Young Gallagher, of the Hottentots,
distinguished himself with a phe-
nomenal one-handed stop yesterday,
and he was cheered heartily when he
came in. Our own Charlie Irwin did
the same thing in the early part of the
game, only he made two such stops
instead of one. 10
Cantillion's way was smooth yester-
day. An umpire was hardly necessary
after all, for the hits made the runs al
a rule. '"'
Yesterday was Fatty Jones' day. He
pitched well, felt like a school boy ana
hammered Nops for double and two
good singles. Pepper was also there
with his bat. and out of two times at
bat. smashed the ball for good singles.
He is getting better as the days go by
and is now one Of the prime favorites
$50 .Tsd
Conner led the batting for 1.-The
visitors. making a double off Pepper
and double and a single off Jones.
Young Comiskey pitched the last two
innings Of yesterdays game and
pleased the crowd immensely. He
didn't allow the visitors to make a hit
and the longest drive was to short
center and that a fly which Camp ate
team famed the air before the young
ster. He has a quick delivery, pIents
of speed and most deceptive drop
curve. which played horse with Roach
and Gallagher and Conner.
Milwaukee opens here the afternoon
of Aug. l, Thursday. Kansas City ap-
pears on Friday and the teams alter
nate between here and MINNEAPOLIS for
three games each. While Kansas City
is here the two teams will play off The.
game which Hoagland declared for
feited to St. Paul in June.
Lefty MARI is playing with Nash

of the st. Paul cranks are sorry he
has been released.
