Special to the Globe.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 1.-St.
Paul is now leading the Western
league, having won two games from
Grand Rapids this afternoon. Both
games were pretty contests and were
won on their merits by better team
work than the locals. Two games will
be played Sunday afternoon, and, as
Grand Rapids is no stronger than 1t is
today, or was yesterday, the Saints
should be able to place a good lead
between them and the Hoosiers, who
have led the league so long. While
the audience today was strictly parti-
san, the disappointment of defeat in
double barreled doses was more than
made up by the knowledge that the
games placed Comiskey'S Saints in the
lead of the organization. Mullane and
FPicken+ were the pitchers for St. Paul
in the two games and each acquitted
himself with great credit. Fricken
especially did good work, and he had
to do it to win the game in which he
pitched. Little Leon Wolters was his
opponent, and by excellent work, both
with his head and with his arm, STAYED
off the inevitable defeat for ten innings
and gave the Saints as hard run for
their money as they will have again
this season. His work was perfect,
but in the tenth inning the "never-say
die spirit that has made st. Paul the
most popular team that comes to Grand
, Rapids made iself manifest, and the
game was won out after great effort
on the part of the locals, who in the
first half took a lead of one run and
set the pace.
Both games were played for one adj
mission. the first one being called at
LAB and the second Immediately after
the first was over. The longer Goar
pitched IN the first game the better he
got, and the longer@the men behind
him played the better they got. The
Saints made the running all through
the game and, though a stiff and gal
liant uphill fight was made, defeat could
not be STAYED off No matter how good
ball Grand Rapids played. the Saints
had a little better and trotted it out
for inspection. Hits were punched on
Goar in the opening innings of game
number one, and before he regained his
speed and confidence eight runs had
been piled up on an equal number of
hits. jack Glasscock led the fielding
honors. and hitting honors were easy
Grand Rapids punched on Mullane in
the sixth and seventh innings, but
aside from those he was invincible
The second game was far prettier
and better played than the first Grand
Rapids set the pace until the seventh
inning, when hits were punched on
little VOTERS with the result that four
runs and the lead of the game were
made by the Saints. He had pitched
himself in a hole in the sixth, and with
two men on bases and none out, volun-
tarily gave George a base on balls. He
then settled down and retired three
men on strikes, with none scoring. In
the eighth and ninth Grand Rapids
tied the score and in the tenth took
lead of one run. It was batted in by
VOTERS himself. In the last half of
the inning George few out Burns

Athletic Club Notes.

The Birmingham Athletic club Is ac-
knowledged to be the leading organiZa-
ton of the kind in the south. The repu-
tation 1t has established for itself has
gone beyond the confines of this state
This assertion has been proven by the
fact that Cary Price of Knoxville has ap-
piled for membership and been enrolled
as one OF Brmingham's athletes. Mr.
Price was one of the central figures in
the international athletic tournament
held in New York last year, and is the
champion short distance Splinter of
America. He will enter as a member of
the Birmingham Athletic club in the
meeting to take place in New Orleans
this summer under the auspices of the
Southern Amateur Athletic association.
Tennis has become so popular with the
members of the club that it has been
found absolutely necessary to enlarge
the grounds. Heretofore there were two
double and one single courts ind two
more doubles will be added at once. -
The ladies are taking much interest In
this exhilerating outdoor sport, and 1t
has become necessary to set apart q day
for their exclusive use of the tennis
grounds.
The ladies athletic classes of the Club
are becoming daily larger and much in
terest is being manifested by the mem
bers. They have the exclusive use of the
club rooms on Tuesdays and Fridays,
and no one In male attire, save the in
