Although the state university boys
didn't score run in their game with
the Saints yesterday they put up the
best exhibition Of base ball Of any Of
the amateur teams that have met the
Saints this year.
The game was a good one and, al
though the collegians fell down on sew
eral occasions and allowed their error
column to grow thereby, on the whole
they played good ball.
They didn't score any runs because
Denzer and Carney were too hard to
hit and because every one of Comis-
keys players did the best they knew
how and never made a miss.
DenZer pitched for four innings and
just to show he was in good trim
struck out the first three men that
came to bat. Carney in his four innings
allowed his opponents only one hit. He
had plenty of speed and good control
and looks promising.
Doggie Miller and Gillen were in the
game for the first time this season, and
both of them did all they had to do.

An amateur league Of base ball clubs
in the city Of ST. Paul has been Or

Charles A. Comiskey and William G.

The rules that have been adopted and
which will govern the league during
the present season are as follows:

National league and printed in Spalding's
official base ball guide, are hereby adopted
as the rules governing this league

classes. to be known as the Senior Series"
and "Junior Series,'' respectively. No player
will be permitted to participate In the
Junior Series who was born prior to May

participate in the Senior Series" who was
born prior to Nov. 1, 1879. Satisfactory evil

any player from participating in the league
unless evidence as to his age, in accordance

that any deception has been practiced in re-
gard to the age Of any player or players the
will be declared forfeited to the opposing

Shugart and Burke were there with
both feet with the willow, the former
in four times at bat securing two
singles and as many doubles. Burke,
who will be a popular player, in five
times at bat pounded out three doubles
and was responsible TOR several of the
Saints runs.
The university boys tried three pitch
ers, Gilchrest going in for the first four
innings. OF the three Gilchrest perhaps
showed up the best and If he had been
left in the box throughout the entire
game Comiskey's men might have been
shy few runs.
1t was Mr.. Kennedy who was so
kindly received. He appeared first in
the fourth inning and before he went
to the bench seven of the Saints had
found him for three doubles and four
singles and in addition he had allowed
two of them to walk to first. The re-
suit was seven runs, but Mr.. Kennedy
was not disheartened. He did duty
again in the fifth and sixth and the
Saints didn't find him so easily.
In the last two innings Krelwitz did
duty on the slab. He was only found
safely five times and only passed one
man to first, but collection of wild
pitches and errors gave the Saints six
more runs
