KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 23.-With
the score IL to 5 in favor Of ST. Paul
in the beginning of the ninth inning,
Jack Barnet went up into the. air and
when he came down again the score
was tied and Hon Fricken had sue
ceeded him in the box The bases
were full and there was a kink on in
Fricken's arm. Before he had straigh-
tened it out he gave one man a base,
forcing in a run and the next batSman
cracked out a single that netted two
runs and the fortune of battle rested
with the wearers of the blue The
Saints never got a man to first in their
half CT the ninth and the cheers of the
fans resounded in this burg. Kansas
City made enough errors to lose half
dozen games. The Saints punched
their hits when the blues clustered
their errors and runs were to be had
for the asking. Mcbride, Hollings-
worth, Glasscock and George pounded
the ball hard and often, while the
other members of the team were per-
forming capable stick work Mcbride
and George put the ball into the race
to have his old comrades on his staff,
although his ancient failing Of giving
bases on balls, chung to him, and in
the end proved his undoing The
Saints scored in the first inning on a
home run drive by Mcbride, a batsman
hit by a pitched ball, a muffed fly and
single. Three hits and two errors
netted two more runs in the third,
While single, balk and muffed fly
gave another in the fourth. Two
singles added another in the fifth,
fly gave the visitors three in the sixth
In the eighth George drove the ball out
of the lot for a circuit of the sacks.
The Blues began to score in the fouth
when a bunch of four singles and
base on balls yielded three runs; two
singles and an error contributed an
other in the fifth, while a single and a
double added one more In the seventh
Then came the awful ninth. Barnett
soaked Tim O'Rourke in the ribs as a
starter, and he went to second while
Shugart was fumbling Connaughton's
grOunder Gettinger drove the ball to
Barnett and was laid away at first
McVicker rolled the ball to Barnett
who fumbled, and the sacks were filled
Carney pasted the ball to center and
two runs came in. Bannon followed
with a single and another run crossed
the plate. Menefee drew a base and
O'Rourke followed suit, forcing a run.
Another base on balls added one more
run and then Barnett was sent to the
stable. Fricken tried his hand and
added one more base on balls and a
run. A single netted a brace and gave
the Blues the game. In the fourth
Glasscock was benched for a warm
weather conversation which he had
with the umpire over the decision at
the plate, when he was called out. The

Thousands of women lead childless, love-
less lives because of i1llhealth They do not
understand the duties that they owe to them
selves. They neglect the most delicate and
important parts of woman s organism. They
suffer untold agonies from weakness and dis
ease of the organs that make motherhood
possible, and never know the thrilling touch
of baby fingers. They imagine their cases
hopeless.

end of the route. A great many more would
ride If this trouble could be avoided. For
the purpose of lessen:ng these disadvan-
tages new arrangement has been invented,
and is manufactured of SOFT material which
can be readily attached to ordinary trousers,
enabling the to quickly convert them
into graceful and convenient knee breeches.
This arrangement avoids baggy knees or
wrinkled trousers, which are the inevitable
results of using the old style trousers guards.
The arrangement is soft, out of sight and
out of the way, always handy and easily ar
ranged. 1t is a dark colored linen tape sup
piled with eyelets through which another
tape like a shoestring is passed. both tapes
being fastened securely to the rings at the
ends. To attach the tape the trousers are
turned inside out, and the broader tape sewed
securely around the back Of the leg and up
the sides. the little piece with two buttons
or hooks being sewed directly in front. To
convert into knickerbockers one raises the
hem OF the trousers to a point just below
the knee and draws the cord where it ap-
pears at the center of the back hem closely
enogh to hold the trousers leg in the ele-
waited position desired, crossing the surplus
cord and fastening it securely to the hooks
in front. Then turn the gathered portion
down into two smooth folds, the upper and
wider one overlapping the lower one thus
forming the knickerbockers. The folds are
soft and do not wrinkle the trousers. The
attachment is light and out of the way

varying in width from an eighth of an

flying over the parquet, scattering q
miniature snOWStorm over the audience.
From the hidden recesses of a small
scarf he produces the flags of all ma
