DIAMOND DUST.

The Saints will play two games with
the Cowboys this afternoon. The first
game will be called at O'Clock with
Pepper in the box. Just as soon as
with Count Mullane in the box. Capt.
Comishey wants both of these games,
as he needs them to strengthen his
standing. The crowds will doubtless
be large, as the battles will be well
worth seeing. They. are fights for sec
ondl place. If we win botn We are in
second place.
The second was purely Charlie Ir-
wins inning. He put out all three
men, two on beautiful throws to first
and the third on high ny.
Camps hitting of late has been ter
rifle. He is almost sure of a safe hit
any time, and he generally gets them
in when there are men on bases. He
led the batting yesterday with a home
run, double and two singles. Pickett
was right after him with a home run,
Irwin made a home run and a single,
Stratton a double and a single, George
a three-bagger, Burns two hot sin
giles and Boyle double.
In the seventh inning Burns, in mid
die field, made a beautiful running
catch of Taylor'S long drive to center.
1t looked like a, home run, but Burns,
by handsome running and excellent
judgment, pulled it down at the right
time.
Pickett appeared on the ball field
yesterday with a clean uniform. This
shows the advantage of having a wife.
tlced the difference between Pickett'S
uniform and the others, and sagely re-
marked: "a man is no good without
a wife,
The game was delayed fifteen min
uteS yesterday on account of rain. ST.
Paul was in the lead, and there were
loud shouts to Cantillion to call the
game. The little man, however, is not
run by the crowd, and he made them
play it out. rain or no rain.
1t is a noticeable fact that ST. Paul
and Milwaukee play the cleanest ball
together Of any Of the teams in the
league.
Catcher Moran, one of Anson's men,
who Joined Ihe Brewers here yeSter-
day, is a clever backstop and a hard
hitter He played beautifully behind
that he travelled all night.
In the first inning Twitchell made a
beautiful catch of Irwin's fly. He had
to run away over by the foul inc to get
1t, too.
Nichol, although fast runner, does
mt get away from the. plate as quick
ly as Hogan, of Indianapolis They
would make a pretty race for 100 yards.
If only Kansas City had lost to Min
neapoliS yesterday, we would be oc-
cupying second place today We may
occupy, it yet before night. Who
knows?
In the eighth inning yesterday Irwin
retired the last two Milwaukee men in
Gshandsome and unexpected manner.
There was runner on first and Sharp
hit g. hot one to Charlie, who gobbled
it close to the second bag He didn't
trust the ball to other hands, but
quickly touched the second bag and
then threw to first. retiring both men.
1t was rapid and beautiful play
