KANSAS CITY TODAY.
Mannfns's Blues to Try Conclusions
With COmfskey's Men.

Today the Kansas City team. which has
been fighting hard uphill battle for sew
eral weeks, will open three days series at
Lexington park. Play will begin at 345.
Phyle will be in the box for the locals, and
probably Bevis for the visitors. The present
Kansas City team is almost new team
compared with the one which was here in the
spring, McVicker, Jim Bannon, Blanford and
Menefee being about all that are left. Bevis
was then on the bench. Barnett has come
to St. Paul. Fred Lake went to Boston. Con-
naughton Is benched. Carney is lad up with
bad foot. TRULY and Reilly and Tom Ban
non were let go. Newell and Mcfarland did
not last as pitchers. and Abbey was recalled
TO the big league.
The apparent listlessness with which some
OF the local players get in the game lends
credence to the street and bar room gossip
which Is to the effect that some differences
OF finance are having a disorganizing influ-
team was playing fast ball and winning
ball. The 7th was pay day. The Sth and
9Th the team lost.
Isbell preserved his equilibrium in a tight
place excelently for a twirler with SO little
league experience.
Barnes certainly had the satisfaction of
giving the SANITY sluggers one day of hard
work. They could not get the ball out of
the infeld.
Manager Saulpaugh, of the Minneapolis
club, has consented to the request of Man
ager Mack, Of Milwaukee, that the series of
games to have been played between those
clubs at Minneapolis. beginning today. be
transferred to Milwaukee. Accordingly the
teams started for the city Of beer last night
the Mfllers to return after four games.
Manager Manning has signed a young
Georgetown university player named Lam
bert. and Jack Pickett, who will play first
base Lambert formerly played with the At
lantic City.
st. Paul and Columbus. are on the toboggan.
Cant somebody push Indianapolis into the
'Tacks'. Parrott's hitting was again the
wonder of the crowd.
Mcbride is killing on home runs and trin1es
In great shape. 1t was almost 100 to l bet
IN the sixth that Stafford's drive would be
good for home run. Mcbride not only
caught the ball, but doubled Myers at first
1t was Isbell's off day. He helped to lose
his own game by making very wide throw.
st. Paul made % runs to Milwaukee's Is in
the series, and yet Milwaukee chalked I'D two
victories. st. Paul also made 80 hits to Mil
waukee's 26.
Little Nicol was responsible for four of Mil
waukee's five runs. His hitting was most op-
perfume.
Isbelrs bad throw let in one run and Nyce's
tumble two more.
Stafford put out seventeen men in fine style
at first.
Leewe covers a great deal of ground at
short.
Goar Of the Indianapolis club has received
injuries that will prevent him from playing
for several days.
Columbus will give Joe Barry Detroit
amateur pitcher, trial. He is considered a.
valuable ball player.
When 'Bid" McPhee gets into the game
again, Cincinnati will play Corcoran at short
and Ritchey in the outfield.
The Detroit Journal says Hahn swings at
the ball with his bat as a woman hits at a
striped snake with a broomstck.
few days ago Vanderbeek did not have
score cards for his patrons because the Co.
lumbus club did not send in its batting list.
The Kansas City club will sign James A
Brown, captain of the Indiana base ball team
of the Haskell institute, to play in Bannon's
place in left field.
Vanderbeck is still betting $50 suits of
clothes base ball. Instead of making ad-
ditional bets, it would be wise for him to pay
the wager he lost to Matt Killiea-Indian-
apolis Sentinel.
The Western association shows signs of
financial weakness. and the Quincys may dis
Danq any day. The Interstate is also shaky
