| The Saints and the Cowboys will play
| their third game of the present series this
| afternoon at Lexington park, play being called
the home team, probably the former, as
it is ladies' day. and the fair sex is to be
admitted free Capt. Carney is not satisfied
with the results being obtained from the
not we'll gathered, and he announced last
night that the team would bat in the follow
ing order. J. Bannon, cf., Connaughton, S.;
Lake, G; Mcvicker, IF; Carney. 1b; TRULY,
2b; T. Bannon, If; Reilly, 3b; Newell or Nc
Farland p. This puts little man in at the
front, hard man to pitch to, and a good
one on the bases, If ne gets to first, while
he is followed by succession of speedy hit
tiers. Truby's stick work has not been of
the best since the team has been the
trip, and the change puts five goods batsmen
in line for the first inning.
Nine hundred and forty people paid to see
yesterdays game and some of them had to
wait nearly half an hour after the game
street railway company do when it gets 10, 600
people there the Sunday that st. Paul and
Minneapolis play? =
Mcbride did some pretty fast work in CEN
ter field, but the little Bannon boy, with all
due reverence for his gray hairs, was a
peach
Today is pay day for the Saints And
ladies' day, too. What a combination.
Billy George has not made a safe hit since
Monday, and his batting rank is going down,
down, down.
The interurban series opens at the new Min
nehaha park Sunday.
Girls, all of you turn out today and take a
look at the leaders of the Western league.
OF course Nyce could have made more
errors. He had five chances.
Lake is one of the best natured catchers
in the business and he generally. hits the ball
hard.
Phyle made the first balk of the season in
the ninth. He started to pitch the ball, but
stopped short on finding that Spies was not
ready to CATCH and Umpire Lal-y gave
Carney, who was on first, walk to second.
Kansas City should not have. scored at
all in the eighth. Carney was given base
on balls. Jim Bannon hit an easy one to
shugart, who tossed 1T not more than six
feet to Nyce and a double play should have
resulted. Nyce dropped the bail, and both
runners were safe. Tom Bannon and Reilly
made hits, and. after Abbey had struck out
McVicker placed the sphere in good spot
in left and four runs were in.
Preston's third base play was ragged. He
works hard, but it is very much of a question
if he was cut out for an infielder. The
patrons of the game would feel safer with
O'Rourke on third and Hollingsworth on
second.
Abbey gave FIVE bases on balls, and three
of them developed into runs.
Kansas City's errors we're. costly. That Of
Connaughton let In two runs and that OF
Reilly two more.
Nyce's work was not all bad. He made a
great one-hand stop and throw OF Carney's
grounder in the fourth.
Abbey was hit safely but six times, and
the six hits were made in six different Inn
ings.
Prestons double play unassisted brought
him great round of applause.
Kansas City had men on bases In every
one of the nine innings. In spite of this,
Phyle pitched in good form throughout, be-
ing hit hard only in one inning. and then
after the side should have been out.
Carney's hit in the ninth was a scratch.
PARROT ran in a little too far on it. and in
jumping for it only touched it with one hand
Everybody was glad to hear that Grand Rap
ids had broken the hoodoo.
St. Paul ought to win the series OF games
