town Sunday by q score of rs to g.
Manning says his team should have won
every game pitched by Friend this season.
Goar was pretty nearly. the whole thing
yesterday. He pitched a beautiful game.
Blanford don't like high fouls. He missed
two of them yesterday, but neither time did
the batsman reach first
Foreman will hold the Blues level to-day
They got but five hits off him at Kansas
City, May 3Q-all singles.
Foreman will pitch in the second Kansas
City game to-day and Manning will prob
ably send Abbey to the slab.
Matthews shut out the crack Frankton
team in a well played game at the Mat
thews ball park Sunday The score was
II to o.
Connaughton was away off yesterday. The
ex-Leaguer generally plays the game as it
is written, but he had his troubles in plenty
yesterday.
Catcher William J. Clarke, of the Balti-
morcs, has gone to Princeton, where he will
for the next few days.
If st. Paul drops another to Grand Rapids
and the Millers take a fall out of Columbus
to-day, then Indianapolis can step into first
place provided Kansas City doesn't inter-
fere.
McVicker was the only Kansas City man
who had any success with the stick yester-
day He hit for single and double and
Flynns marvellous catch robbed him of a
triple
Stewart is playing the best second base
in the Western League and viii soon be
hitting the ball again. He will be found
around the $50 mark at the close OF the
season.
McVicker made a great catch of Goar's
fly in the third inning yesterday. The big
pitcher started one toward the clubhouse
that looked good for three bases, but Me-
Wicker managed to get 1T after hard
chase.
Flynn didn't have time on that sensa~
tional catch in the seventh inning to slap
his hands together before grabbing the bail
out of the air. On the fly that followed,
however he slapped them twice, to make
up for the omission.
Bannon fooled Foreman into coaching
Mcfarland TO second in the sixth inning
yesterday and Mac was caught It was an
old trick, too. Mcfarland hit a short fly
to left and Bannon overran the bali and
apparently lost track of ii. Mcfarland
stopped at first very wisely, but Foreman
sent him on to second where he was easily
caught.
Manager Manning hopes to get Hemming
from Baltimore in a few days. He has pref
ty nearly completed deal for that pitcher
and expects favorable word from Hanlon
this week. He certainly has a clever pitch
er in Danny Friend. one of Anson's string.
For a left-hander Friend has remarkable
control and his speed and curves remind
one very much of Billy Dammann. His sup
port yesterday was enough TO dishearten
any pitcher.
ST. Paul has a reputation for dirty ball
playing. and if the sample they put up here
Saturday is a fair of the dirty tricks
they can resort to. then they are deserving
of the name, and Nyce and Mullane deserve
to stand at the head and Mullane is en-
titled TO go ahead of Nyce. Tony Muane
is "a coward with his buldozng tactics, and
had it not been for the Intervention Of
Captain Tebeau yesterday the head of the
Count would have been severely punched
by Genins Mullane was being pounded all
over the field and was mao as a March
hare. Genins came running into the home
plate. when the ruffian from ST. Paul ran
out and struck him a severe blow on the
left arm. Mullane showed the yellow streak
by not stopping to see If he had hurt
Genins or not. but ran on, coward like, and
picked up bat, knowing full well that he
would have 10 answer for his assault
Tebeau ran in, took hold of Genins and
that fact saved Mullane.-Columbus Press
