its luckless mission to the South and
East.
Ten games in succession have been
won by the Saints now and it looks as
though it was the easiest thing in the
world to do.
Columbus came yesterday. The orig
lnal Columbus was the worlds first
great finder, after Mrs. Eve, but the
present Columbus could not find even
Denzer. Ten times the Buckeyes
struck out. Some of them famed the

umpire under circumstances which did
not always meet with the approval of
the crowd.

Johnson, of the league, has shown his
shrewdness. He switched O'Day to
Minneapolis yesterday realizing that
the games over there were more ex-
citing than those here, but he will
probably switch him back here when
Indianapolis comes over here, for then
the games will be close and exciting.

last year, and he declared that the
ball was foul. Genins. who had scored
from second base on the play was sent
back 1t did not make any difference
