BEAT THE CADETS.
N. p. Football Team Makes a Good
Winning.


The Northern Pacific football team
came back from Faribault last night
the proud champions of victory over
the Shattuck cadets which was de-
cisiVe, if not overwhelming. Neither
side scored a goal, but the touch downs
were two to one in favor of the North
ern Pacific team. The Northern Pa
cific team kicked off, and after about
five minutes, in which the ball did not
get far from the center of the field,
Mccullough, for the Shattucks, made
a touch down, rather on a fuke, al
though some fine criss-c cross work was
done. The Northern Pacific's got the
ball on downs, and had gained the
Shattuck's 35-yard line, where Rogers,
the Northern Pacific quarter back,
made a touch down, but missed goal.
Shattuck kicked off, and Powers,
Northern Pacifc's 35-yard line. The
st. Paul team then made their way
to Shattuck's 25-yard line, where Rog-
ers made another touch down and
the first half closed with the ball
within two yards of Shattuck's goal.
The local team claim that the half was
called nearly minute short in order
to safe a goal.
There were no stirring plays in the
second half, the play being confined
to the center of the field.
Mccullough, Shattuck's left half,
was the star of the day His work was
exceptionally clever.
The Northern Pacific team is very
proud of it's victory, especially as the
discrepancy in weight was very ap-
parent, the Shattuck team averaging
17S pounds to 1853 for the Northern Pa
cif1c'S.

BASE BALL IN ENGLAND.
Americas National Game Rapid!
Gaining q Foothd1d There.

A G. Spalding, who has just re-
turned from a trip to England, says
that he was more than imp essed with
the interest that is now being taken in
base ball in Great Britain, and for the
first tine since it's introduction there it
has q promising outlook.
When the American game Of base
ball was introduced in England it was
utterly impossible to make expenses,
and the clubs for years were carried on
at a loss. Now the game has a very
strong hold throughout the Midlands
and the North Of England. The Derby
club, for the first time since it was
organized, has this year paid all its
expenses and can row be considered a
paying venture.
While they have their own associa-
ton in England, they play under the
rules of the national league, and follow
it's regulations in every respect minute
ly.
Mr.. Spalding states that, Of course, he
was interested personally in the de-
yelopment of base ball in England.
His first connection with the game In
that country dates back to 1874, when
be arranged trip for the Bostons and
Philadelphia Athletics.
The second invasion of England by
American ball players, occurred in
1889, when Mr.. Spalding's Round the
World teams played throughout Eng
land and created a deal of enthusiasm.
| After this trip, which was successful
| in every particular, a team of college
PLAYERS visited England in the summer
| of 1889 and played several important
| games.
| One of the most ardent admirers OF
| American base ball is Francis Ley, OF
| Derby, who has been interested in the
