Lost -. ...-, ss 20 50 So IS AZ IS 81


st. Paul has won twelve games with
out single defeat, and it Is still al
most as far from the Hoosier cham
pions at 1t WAS when L. started in on
this winning streak.
One thing may be asserted without
fear of contradiction, and that is that
during the series of four games be-
ginning Monday one or the other of
the teams will have a reef taken in its
sails of success.
If it be Indianapolis, there will be
Joy in other towns.
If it be st. Paul, other cities will Ia
: fnent it.
The Hoosiers at present are too far
away from the rest of the teams to
make the contest interesting.
There was a wide spread belief that
Minneapolis would be able to put an
end to the triumphal march of the
Hoosiers. They have only gotten one
game out of four so far.
st. Paul is the last resort. for the
Hoosiers will be on their home grounds
again Saturday. ~

hardly exciting. The play was too err
ratio. OF the dozen runs, only three
represented correct base ball. The
rest were due to- uncertain fielding.

clean hit to right field. O'Rourke flew
out to Mccormack, but Glasscock hit
fly which puzzled the visitors, and
Kraus gave Parrott one that was too
hot to handle, filling the bases. George
was next but Parrot evidently read
the little left fielder's mind, for he left
his usual position and played well over
toward third. George hit the ball hard
and it went straight for PARROT in his
new position. Mullane was picked off
at the plate, and Wilson threw to first
