last game of the present series today at
Lexington park, play beginning promptly at
3:45 o'clock. Barnett or lsbell will be in the
box for the locals, while Wolters or Keener
will probably be sent against the locals To-
morrow the Detroit club comes.
Mullane played the third sack as though he
had always been in that vicinity.
In two games Mcbride and George have
made twelve of the twenty-five safe hits
made by the st. Paul team. That is pretty
good stick work.
Hollingsworth has sore hand which in

1t is generally believed that Rusie's slow
ball will not prove effective against the strong
teams of the league. Rusie has rot given

speed and sharp curves when heavy hitters
confront him.
Elmer Smith has played all the sun fields

He says that he is not stuck on umpiring but
that he has been doing the work to help
Johnson out. His decisions are all right,
but he should let out a little more with
his voice-Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Manager LOTUS is after Pitcher VOTERS,
released by the Indianapolis club, but he
was a little late. When he reached Chicago
he learned that the Brooklyn club had signed

his chances in the big league. Under the
Western league agreement no player can leave
the league until the end of the season, I'M

queer that Brooklyn should be allowed to
have him.-Mi!waukee Wisconsin. LOTUS

errors of the Columbians in the first three
innings
Mcbride made two good hits, but nobody
was abe to help him across the plate.
1t is no new thing for Tebeau to be put out

good "jollier."
Blanford was in the stand yesterday. He
is recovering slowly.
