GAMES SCHEDULED FOR TODAY.
Columbus at st. Paul.
Indianapolis at Minneapolis.
Detroit at Kansas City.
Grand Rapids at Milwaukee.
Aside from the fact that the atmos-
pheric conditions were any thing but
pleasant, the spectators at the ball
park yesterday afternoon might have
enjoyed two nice ball games. st. Paul
and Columbus each won one, the
Saints prevented the DISCOVERIES, in
the first game, from exploring any Of
the territory beyond first base, while
the Saints sent not less than fifteen
men on trips of decentralization. The
Columbians, however, braced up a bit
in the second game and held the locals
q down to two runs, neither of them
earned, while they fell upon Phyle in
one inning for four runs, and carried
away a victory.
Z In the first game the locals were con-
fronted by team containing many
Fnew faces. Arlie Latham, late of the
Runaway Colt" company, was playing
at third. while Frank and Strauss re-
Gently released by Minneapolis, were
at right and first base respectively.
McGreevy was a little wild. 1t was
his first appearance at Aurora park
since the famous fourteen-inning game,
from which he was elected in the tenth
inning by Umpire O'Day. O'Rourke
got a base on balls, and Stratton hit
to right field, which formula is now
looming familiar to all patrons of
re game locally. Glasscock sacrificed,
and George forced in run. One
should have been out, but Latham, in
throwing to second, hit Stratton and
nearly put him out of the game again.
Burns forced Stratton out at third,
and Mullane's base on balls left the
bases full, when Hollingsworth retired
the side. Two were out when Walter
Arlington Latham hit safely, and
danced around in the sand near first
!. base, scarcely dry from the rain earlier
in the day. Get me pair of skates"
he shouted to the bench. you could
not steal second here in forty years"
Everybody knew this was 'the Office"
for an attempt to steal and the truth
of the observation was established
when Arlie was caught at least four
feet from second. and Glasscock had
then held the wet ball until it was
frozen to his glove.
Spies waited until McGreevy could
get him free transportation to first
base, and then Roger Denzer, just as
true as you are reading this, hunted
the ball. McGreevy ought to have
stopped it, but he thought Parrot
would get 1t in time. But that wet
ground made the track about three
seconds slow. and when PARROT came
up on it, Spies was already safe at
second and PARROT had to make a
hurried throw to first. The ball went
low and Strauss only stopped it, with
out getting Roger out. O'Rourke also
hunted and McGreeVy threw to second,
but Cantillon dropped the ball and the
bases were in the condition of st. Paul
hotels during encampment week.
Stratton sent Frank a fly and Spies
scored. Glasscock hit safely and some
Einore scored and George capped the
climax by making one of his old-time
drives over the right field fence, away
beyond the hat, for home run. Burns
hit q hard one to right, and Mullane
again waited for four balls. Holdings
Z worth hit the ball with geometrical
precision and sent 1t In line for the
carriage gate Arlie Latham threw his
tambo to the players bench and
dropped his song book, while, reaching
up with his left he stopped the liner
with his velvet paw He was unable
to hold it, however, and brilliant
catch was SDOil6Q, Out GdIIOll SldII
athose who remembered his work here
in the early spring, by getting the ball
in an instant and starting it down the
line of the bases for successful dou-
BILE play 1t was beauty from start
to finish. Frank hit safely, but the
locals made a double play themselves.
With two out O'Rourke hit to center
field for three bases, and scored when
WalHe Latham failed to get to the
depot in time to meet the Stratton
cannon ball going past. Parrott hit
safely, but first base was the limit.
Burns opened the fourth with vic
icus swing. but the ball struck the bat
near the handle and dropped straight
down, or nearly so. He beat tt to first,
Tor both pitcher and catcher were the
full distance Mullane hit a sound one,
and Hollingsworth hunted. Wilson
should have had it easy, as it did not
roll but as he stopped to pick it up
he slipped in the mud and sat down.
He threw, to third but not we'll enough
out with the bases full, however, and it
! was O'Rourke's two-base drive that
brought in the runs this inning. Can

one was out, and could get no further

~rett hit safely again, but was left at
first.
Spies hit fly which Butler could not
get to. and scored on singles by o.
Rourke and Stratton. Columbus went

George drove long one to center
field. Genins, after a hard run, got
1T in his hands. but dropped it, and
George was on second base. Burns
gave Strauss a foul fly, and Mullane
q third time reached first on balls. Hol-
lingsworth hit safe one, and George
scored. Spies gave Stratus another ny,
