LAST OF THE SERIES.
st. Paul and indianapolis to Play
at Lexington Park Today.

st. Paul and Indianapolis to Play
at Lexington Park Today.
The st. Paul and Indianapolis clubs will
play their third and last game of the present
series at Lexington park this afternoon, play
beginning promptly at 345 o'clock.
Phyle or Cross will be in the box for the
locals, in all probability, and it is likely
that Phillips will pitch for the Hoosiers,
although Scott may be given trial against
the Saints.
Only one other fourteen-inning game was
ever play in Lexington park and by a
singular coincidence, Foreman pitched for
Indianapolis on that occasion, but he won his
game when Heine Spies threw ball beyond
first base in the fourteenth inning. That
game was far scrappier but hardly as thrill
ing as the contest of yesterday, which is far
and away the finest game seen in st.
Paul since the inception of the present
league.
Foreman and Kahoe the battery for
Indianapolis in the game which was played
year ago yesterday. The opposing team was
Kansas City and the score was Indianapolis,
%; Kansas City, 4. The Indians made 81 hits.
Yesterdays game was voted by everybody
who saw it and everybody who heard about
it as the greatest that was ever played in st.
Paul.
Such base ball ought to take 5000 people to
Lexington park today. Manager Comskey
and his players deserve the warmest recep-
tica Of the year.
1t was Geier. Geier. Geier everywhere YES
terday. He was under the first ball hit in
the game by Indianapolis and under the last
one, too. And such catch! The drive was
off Hogriever's bat and looked like a homer
When he heard the crack of the bat Geier
sprinted with all his might to right center
Nobody believed he could get it. He didn't
believe it himself. In sheer desperation he

ed sCuarely in it and the game was over so
far as Indianapolis was concerned in the tally
sheet.
Manager Comiskey sent Fricken to the plate
IN the fourteenth. They thought he should
have sent in Ritter or Phyle, believed to be
mucn more likely to make a safe hit. Nobody
is kicking now, however. Hon got one to
ms liking, smashed it to center for two sacks
took third on Campau's sacrifice and scored
on Geier's pretty single to right.
shugart made bad fumbles In the fourth,
NTH and sixth innings but sharp fielding
KEEP the lnd'ans from getting around. Gii.en
t Was not tba so fortunate His only in
soon resulted in the score being tied
St Paul had three men on bases in the
tWelfth' with Glenalvin at bat. He couldn't
spit the wood, but hit tall fly to Hogrieyer.
Geler's eleven put-outs at center field
are record-breaker. The little fellow put
out Hogriever five times
Inc game came pretty near being ended in
favor OF the visitors in the eleventh. Nichol
4ade MT and kahoe pounded the ball over
Prestons head for three sacks Allen then
smashed the ball to Gillen at such a furious
pace that he got it back to the plate ahead
of Kahoe. f ~
GlaSscoek was in it a little himself 1t
was mis- fast drive through Flynn's fingers
mat scored Campau in the first, and it was
ms clean hit to left that scored Geier in the
eleventh. Besides the old boss put out nine
teen men and assisted once without a skip.
Did you see the catch made by GlenaIvin?
he got under one we'll out to right in the
finest kind of STYLE !
Campau was doing whole lot of work
with his stick. One of these days he will
bob up with about four three-base hits.
Prestons only chance was a pretty catch of
Nichols fly in the fourth.
Late in the game Spies created great
laugh by turning a complete somersault try
ing to capture high foul near the stand
His only put-outs of the forty-two were the
catch of a strike-out and of a throw from
Gillen to the plate in the eleventh inning.
