Two More Contests Today and
Then the Big Match
Saturday.

The second days games in the North
western Cricket association tournament
at Lexington park were played under
the most favorable weather conditions,
and two interesting matches were seen.
Winnipeg played Chicago and St. Paul
and Omaha opposed each other 1t was
nearly IL o'clock before play began, and
the result was that the Manitoba Chi
cago match was decided by one inning
The Canadians went to bat first and
held the wicket until late in the after
noon, by which time they had scored
21S runs. With three exceptions, the
men from across the line rolled up good
scores. They made life miserable for
the Chicago boWlers and kept the field
ers on the go as we'll Still, with the
Dig score against them, the Chicago
men went to bat hopeful of making a
stand. 1t was without avail. One by
one the wickets fell until the last went
down for 43 runs. Bate and James
were the bowlers for Manitoba and
their work was good. Bate came down
from Winnipeg yesterday morning, and
the Chicagos found they had had hand

break and it seemed to find it's way

the best bowler in Winnipeg, although
there are said to be stronger bOWlers
in some of the Eastern Canadian teams
than he is. However, he seems to be
strong enough, and if he is as steady
Saturday as he was yesterday, it is
| easy to guess chat the eleven repre-
senting the United States will have to
play cricket all the time to beat the
Canadians.
The st. Paul-Omaha game was in
some particulars more interesting be-
cause it was closer. Omaha ran up
IS runs in the first inning as against
St. PauPs So. The Nebraska men went
in fer their second inning feeling con-
fldent of success with any degree Of
luck at all. But fortune wasn't with

two at time. If that had been pos
s!ble it might have teen witnessed The
first six wickets only netted fourteen
runs and the Nebraska men began to
think it was all over. Bowers and

to fall until the inning closed for
