Minneapolis record was broken by over sew

mile was made Miss Baldwin made a last
squirt and took the lead after which she was

ning's men will be given alternate fevers
and chills, there will begin at Aurora park
the first regular league ball game of the
season on the home grounds. This will be
between st. Paul and Kansas City, and 1t
ought to be good one
1t will be good one Any one who sees
Manning's aggregation play sees a good
game. or Jimmy knows the reason and the
next day is different. Leaders of the league,
as they are they are worthy foemen of the
st. Paul team, which, while 1t wears no
crowns of leadership, has shown beyond
peradventure its ability to play ball best of
all IN close and exciting games.
The st. Paul players are, of course, we'll
known to the local fans. Kansas City's team
has q number of new faces. Killing, the
round-faced German pitcher, is still there,
and so is Jimmy Manning, scrappy ball
player and kicker that he is. but rare
combination of player, manager and good fell
low.
Gil Hatfield, equal to Manning, perhaps,
as scrapper, and second to none in the
league at third base, unless 1t be Hartman,
of Milwaukee. is at third.
Hunky Hines, who played with Minneapolis
two years ago. and was drafted by Brook
lyn, but found the big league benches un-
comfortable, is still in Manning's outfield,
as is also Nichol.
Where last year was Frank Connaughton,
the swiftest shortstop in the league, and
that without discredit to Charley Irwin, Man
ming has to choose between Nyce, New
England league find, and Viox, who comes
from the Virginia aggregation. Menefee, the
ex-pttcher, hard hitter that he is, is playing
In the outfeld, while in the box, Manning has
two cracks from the New England league,
Callahan and Barnett. Lucky Peter Daniels,
too, who was a hoodoo for st. Paul every
time he met them there. With an arm like
blacksmith and good eye, it is no dis
credit to the st. Paul team that he bothered
them.
This, practically, is the aggregation that
will appear against the Comiskey company
for the first game Of the season tomorrow.
Let the ball be pitched.

JACK THE RIPPER.
1t Is Possible He Was EIectrOcuted
Yesterday at Sing Sing.

NEW YORK, April 27.-"I believe that Carl
Feigenbaum. whom you have Just put to
death in the electric chair, can easily be con-
nected with the Jack the Ripper murders
in White Chapel, London
Feigenbaum was electrocuted today in Sing
Sing prison. and this statement was made by
his counsel, William s. Lawton. Before
speaking, the lawyer explained that he re-
vealed the secret, because he felt it to be
his duty to science and the law. Mr.. Lawton
then began the recital of a story on which,
he said, he based his belief that Feigenbaum
mad been guilty of perhaps dozen butch
cries. One night I stayed with him for
over two hours" he said, "and he told me
that for years he had been the victim of a
malady, disease, that periodically preyed
upon him and which forced him, in spite of
himself to murder and mutilate women
L was so startled that for the moment
did not know what to do. Then the Jack
the Ripper butcheries occurred to me, and
began to search Fiegenbaum's record I
learned that he was In Wisconsin at the time
the country was startled by the news of the
murder and mutilation of several women
there Then I communicated with London.
and discovered that Feigenbaum was also
there when so many women fell victims to
the knife of some mysterious assassin
questioned Feigenbaum closely, and found
that he could converse with intelligence on
surgery and dissection. When asked if he
knew anything about these subjects, he would
feign an ignorance that was unnatural"
Other points advanced by Lawyer I.awton
were, first, that the knife with which he
killed Mrs. Hoffman was found to have on 1t
cid blood stains. Again, Feigenbaum was
known to have used many aliases. AS a
matter of fact, his real name was Karl Zahn
and he never would explain why he changed
it. "The man was a devil,' concluded Mr.
Lawton. His motive for the crime was his
frightful desire for mutilation."

! KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 27-Charley
Ccyniskey's Saints succeeded in winning the
third and concluding game of the series
here today. after a hard fight, by the close
score Of five to four. Bevis. the Kansas kid,
pitched good game of ball for the Blues,
but an error by Welch in the first inning
gave the visitors two runs and the game.
The Blues knocked Johnston out of the box
in the fourth inning. but Mullane, who took
his place was puzzler, and the local bats
men were unable to do much with his de-
livery. The visitors got their two runs in
the first inning in peculiar way. Bevis struck
Mullane out on the first three pitched balls.
He repeated the performance with Glasscock,
striking him out with three pitched balls, but
fWelch dropped the third strike, and in en-
deavoring to tag Glasscock, instead Of throw
ing the ball to first base, he dropped it and
Glasscock reached the base safely. Then
George hit for two bases, scoring Glasscock,
stole third and scored on a passed ball. In
the second inning Mertes got base on balls,
Johnston hit for one base and Mullane for
triple, sending in two more runs. The
Blues did nothing until the fourth inning,
when they gathered four runs and tied the
score on a single by Killing, a base on balls
to Menefee. singles by Manning, Lake and
,BeYis and sacrifice by Hatfield. With the
score tie, the game was hard-fought, neither
team being able to score again until the
ieighth, when the Saints got the winning run,
lGlasscock led off with hit and took third
on Georges single to right; Shugart went out
on an easy in1eld fly. Then Pickett hit a
ny to center, which Menefee easily caught,
but he threw wild to the plate and failed to
catch Glasscock. who scored on the out.
This proved to be the winning run, as the
Blues went out in regular order in the ninth.
