twirler. The ex-Philadelphian appeared to be
IN nne form during his short app ear2nce yes
terday afternoon.
Manager Comiskey announces that the low
er gate on Lexington avenue will be open
this afternoon which will be great coA-
iyenience to people living in the st. Anthony
mn region southeast ssu Of the park.
Singular It was that each team made Just
twice as many runs as errors.
Mcbride is gaining In favor. His field work
is very creditable.
McVicker's coaching during the, eventful
ninth was unique, and perhaps had much to
1t came to a crisis he was without any ice-cut-
tiers In the shape of base hits.
1t was the first time George had hit safely
since Monday, but he made up for lost time.
Carney has put out thirty-seven people in
three games That is hard first base play.
Jimmy Bannon's work on ground balls In
center field was very ragged, but he made
some fine running catches, and his stick work
was unblemished
Jack Carney would have sold himself for a
cent with hole in it when McGill caught
him mapping at first. with no one out, in the
'Sii'ii eiio lWo AccoSu 10
TRULY was left out yesterday His batting
was not source Of strength to the team and
Manning determined to give Menefee show.
certainly the ex-twirlers TWO three-b aggers
showed commendable appreciation of the
courtesy shown him.
Blanford's backstop work was irreproach-
able but at bat he shows the disadvantage
of bench play.
Mcfarland advanced Mcbride base on
balk In the tenth. Blanford was watching
the blood from his nose when Mac got ready
to pitch and then had to stop.
st. Paul opens with Minneapolis at the new
Minnehaha park tomorrow.
The infielders of all the teams are making
errors on the st. Paul diamond. Perhaps
the grass is bothering the players
In spite of the fact that Shugart made five
errors in Yesterdays game he played great
chances, some of them difficult.
The work of Nyce at second does not please
the crowd His hitting is strong, but the
spectators think his work on ground balls
is slow and far too erratic.
Of course. had Mullane remained in the
box, it would not have been necessary to play
ten innings. When Fricken went in the score
was Is to in favor Of st. Paul, and Manager
Comiskey thought any cd pitcher could win
out. Fricken was mark from the jump,
five innings. Little Willie McGill had to save
the game by pitching the tenth.
The most popular man on the ground yes
terday was Jim Bannon. He made six hits,
three put-outs and three errors.
The Hon. William George got into the
game with both hands and both feet. He
made single in the fourth, home run in
the fifth and singles in the seventh and
ninth.
Hollingsworth always catches the crowd.
When he went in behind the bat in the tenth
he was given cordial hand all through the
grand stand.
Umpire Lally was right in putting Spies
out of the game for striking Blanford. There
is provocation great enough to warrant any
player in striking another ON the field.
Today's game will be the last here until
next Tuesday, when Minneapolis gets it's
first game on Lexington park
st. Paul has now had clear lead over all
its competitors for two days.
Reilly was the first visiting ball player to
make home run on the st. Paul grounds,
For st. Paul Shugart has made two, ORou-
IKE. Spies, Nyce and George one each.
Those WHO are Sup6rSCClOuS thought ST.
Paul would lose when Manager Comiskey
sent his thirteenth man into the game.
The grass has had hard time of it at
Lexington park so far on account of the dry
weather. 1t is expected it will get fine enough
for haying while the team is away on its
long trip in June
Both st. Paul and Minneapolis would make
a lot more money if they would play Sundays
game in st. Paul. Lexington park is as near
Minneapolis as Minnehaha, and ten ST. Paul
people would go to. Lexington park where one
will go to Minnehaha, which is very hard to
reach from this city.
Of course all the fans have noticed that
in the three games with Kansas City ST.
Paul has made q hits, while the Blues have
made AZ. The runs stand st. Paul "a, Kansas
City 20.
