STILL CHAMPIONS.
Redwood Base Ball Boys Continue
to play Winning Ball.

Under the hottest rays that Old Sol
could send down and with the wind
blowing clouds of dust over the race
course and diamond 5000 people, in
carriages, IN the grand stand, and on
foot, witnessed nine pure and unde-
filed Redwood base ball players turn
the enthusiasm of nine St. Paul and
Minneapolis men, wearing the title of
the St. Anthony Browns, to depth
several feet below the earth's sur
face on the afternoon of the last
Fourth day of July.
1t was a gentlemanly crowd to say
the least. The feeling was intense,
but under the blanket feeling desire
of seeing good game of ball nearly
every one of the 5000 spectators want
ed to see the wearers of the Redwood
uniform win. But there was little or
no roofing and yelling. Applause was
about as easy for visitor as for a
member of the home team when ap-
plause was deserving. There was no
kicking over the decisions of the UNI
pire and had two mines of orthodox
Methodist ministers been competing
for similar honors on the diamond
there could not have been a greater
display of harmony or a desire to win
the game on its merits. Probably the
gentlemanly appearance of the visit
ing club caused all this pleasant
warmth-probab]y it was too hot to
kick, bite and rave. But it must be
said by everybody that the visiting
club was composed of nine as gentle
manly fellows as have ever appeared
on the Redwood diamond.
The Browns were the first at bat.
Dickson gave Mclaughlin and F. De-
quette their bases on balls. Visner
and Fewer struck out. Irving got a
base on balls, making three men on
bases. Lyon sent fly out to Bissell.
The latter missed and Mclaughlin
and Dequette scored. Geo. Dequette
got base on balls but Driscoll cut
air with three men on bases. For Red
wood Buxton struck out, Glassco flew
out to the pitcher, Luscher made a
pretty base hit to left and Dickson
drove the ball far out into the left
field, making home run, amid great
yelling. French struck out. Honors
were even.
In the second Harrington struck
out. Mclaughlin got first on an er-
ror in throwing of Keaveney. F. De-
quette struck out. Visner got base
on balls and Fewer struck out, retir-
ing the side without score, ,McLaugh-
lin dying on second. For Redwood
Shoemaker went out at first. Bissell
hit safe. Keaveney got his base on
an error of Lyon. Theiring got base
on fielder's choice, Bissell scoring at
the same time. Buxton struck out
