AND COMIsKEY WINS
From ST. Paul Fans who Had More
Money Than Sand.
The result of yesterdays games result in
clear profit to Manager Comiskey of over
$2O0. aside from the gate receipts, that amount
having been contributed by sundry citizens
of St Paul who had not much confidence
in the team as had the manager. Commy
was betting two to one that the team would
reach first.
A telegram received yesterday from man
ager Comiskey states that he has released
Bert Inks and has sent to Winona for
Phyle to join the team at once. Inks condi-
ton was not what was expected Of him.
o Rourke is out Of the game on account Of
charley horse"
H. X. Hoffer. of Philadelphia, a stake
holder In a base ball bet, asked O Philadel-
phia newspaper to decide which game of
the two played in one day by Cleveland
and Baltimore was the regular scheduled
contest. President Young was appealed to-,
and he replied: When two games are
played on the same day, one being post
poned game; the first one played is the reg
ular scheduled game for that day.
The decision is contrary to the opinion Of
nearly all the sporting authorities OF the
land, but will have to stand, all the same.
For years 1t has been the law among au-
thorities that if two games are played in
one day the second was regarded as the
regular scheduled one, and all bets had to
be decided by its result The late Harry
Wright was the author of this belief and
his judgment in the matter was never Ques-
toned.
For two months before Second Baseman
O'Brien of Louisville had been traded to
washington nnyt0
had spoken to him.
Robson, of Cleveland. Wagner. of Wash
ington, and Won der Horst, Of Baltimore,
are all in favor of abolishing coaching en-
tirely.
st. Paul took another fall out Of the cham
pions yesterday. That is right. Keep at the
Indians and there will be possibility Of
some other club getting the pie this year.
There Is only faint possibility, however of
beating the Hoosiers-Evening Wisconsin.
Clark Griffith, the Chicago pitcher, thinks
1t cowardly to give a good batsman a base
on balls intentionally. He Is willing at all
times to match his cunning against that of
the best batsmen in the business.
In Detroit Wednesday Stafford hit bail into
the trees in left field. He raced clear to third
and then had to walk home, as it was de-
cleared foul The next one started in the
same way. but did not get by Gillen.
Sammy DUNCAN was 80 years old Wednes-
day and received presents galore when he
stepped to the plate In the first inning. They
were handed to Umpire O'Day, who turned
his opening the three parcels. The largest one
contained birthday cake with thirty raisins
on the top. The next size had an "all-day
sucker" the small boys paradise and the
third small nursing bottle, but this seemed
strangely out Of place. Everybody was laugh
ing, and Dungan's best effort was a measly
little grounder to Glenalvn.
Chicago News-An old gray horse wandered
onto the field in the seventh inning Wednesday
and a crank on the bleachers shouted Papa,
much ribald laughter and Arson flushed a
deeper red than usual.
A regiment of actors attended a game at
Chicago this week, and their cries of agony at
every unfayorable turn of the game could be
heard miles from the grounds. When LANCE
made his great home run "legit' in section
G arose, folded his arms and said: Even so
did once the tickle throng applaud me render
Ing Of Othello. Thus did the public manifest
itself when first gave me version of Rich
ard! And they threw peanut husks on him.
indianapolis plays two games with Milwau-
kee on Monday. This is the spot where the
Indians expect to take first place again.
1t is something of trick to take six
games in succession while travelling. St Paul
did 1t.
st. Paul won only FIVE games out of
twenty on its last trip 1t has won six out
OF nine SO far this trip.
There is no game scheduled for Detroit on
Wednesday. but st. Paul and Detroit will
play of postponed game on that date.

In the Mound city papers. But now alack
poor Roger is low card, and the visage of

will be focused on the fence, and it wouldn't
surprise the fans to hear that Chris had APP

led his partner to a seat and started for the
umbrella. 1t wasn't there. While all eyes
were ldstouou upon the fortunate nero some
body had stolen the prize and Lange's efforts
were wasted labor. Grifith says that he never
heard Lange use bad language before.
Chris Won der Abe has the true spirit of
economy. 1t Is related that one of the ex-
peremental pitchers early In the season was
