game for the Bisons, but he let two
easy flies get away from him in the first
inning and was pulled out in a hurry.
The loss of the first game was due d.
rectly to Houtz and his slow work In
center. In spite of the fact that the
Bisons got more hits Fisher was en-
titled to win, and would have landed a
victory but for Houtz.
Hall and Cockman played splendid ball
for the Bisons In the infiefd, and GER
tainly Garry did some wonderful work in
the outfield. Were the rest of the team
up to these people the Bisons would not
be in the second division.
Patterson may be given a chance dur
ing the Grand Rapids series. 1t will de-
pend greatly on the outcome of the first
game.
Hart came pretty close to Splitting
the wood in the first game With two
on bases and two out in the ninth he
hit a short fly over second, but Garry,
by a magnificent sprint, got under 1t
and ended the game.
st. Paul wins the series with Buffalo,
which stands 10 to in favor of the
st. Paul ripped off twenty-six hits to
Buffalo's twenty in the two games. The
locals needed one more, however, in the
first.
Speaking of fielding, that of Lally in
the second game was about as good as
is ever seen in these parts.
He made three hits and accepted twelve
fielding chances without a skip. He is
playing second base the best it has ever
been played for the st. Paul team.
sss
Shugart was mailing the ground balls
in great shape, too. He had thirteen
chances in the two games without a
blunder of any sort.
Houtz did well with the stick, but he
had an Enthusiastically off day in the field.
He let high fly drop behind him in the
sixth which gave Buffalo two runs. He
also made two other bad breaks in the
first game which are not recorded in the
score sheet.
Spies took a great liking to Baker in
the second game, hitting him for a sin
gle. a double and a triple.
Vaughns work at first was splendid.
He muffed high fly because of the wind
in the second game, but by a quick re-
cover caught his man at second.
There will be but nine more Western
league games in st. Paul this summer,
three each with Grand RAPIDS, Detroit
and Indianapolis.
Indianapolis and Minneapolis have now
each won Sixty-three games. AS there
are only 126 in the schedule, neither can
lose more than half whatever happens
for the remainder of the season.
Kansas City appears to be working
hard to give somebody else last place.
Five of the eight Western league teams
have now lost more games than they
have won.
Manager Comiskey really has a chance
to Push his team into the first division
again.
Mike Kahoe probably will be added to
the Cincinnati catching staff when the
season in the Western league comes to an
end. He is playing a great game behind
the bat for polis.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
1t is a remarkable fact that since the
organization Of the twelve-club league in
1891 grandstands in Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis Cincinnati
and Louisville have been burned down.

half the Saints could not get by second

feed to second by Garry, who went out
from Fisher to Vaughn. Dillon hit short
fly to Shugart and McKivitt hit a long

the inning by trying to reach second on

to bart in the last half of the ninth, and
they made a mighty effort, but failed.
Houtz reached first on a line hit over sec

Houtz went to third. IsbeH was
in turn forced at second by
Lally, while HOutz scored one

to make second on the error and was
thrown out with several feet to spare.
Garry went out from Shugart to Vaughn.
Dillon hit safely through the center of

no more runs.
BISONS' BUNCH OF ERRORS
The Bisons went down almost in order
in the fifth, sixth and seventh, and the
Saints were BANKED in the fifth, but they
made runs galore in the sixth. Denzer
led off with a hit through the center Of
the diamond. Geier hunted to Grimmin-
ger, who threw high to Dillon. and Den
ger scored, while Geter went to third

While we are thrilled with pride
at our regiments record, we do
not forget that our boys are more
favored than those Of other states
they hail from a state where the
sale Of alcohol, that handmaiden
Of all vice, is prohibited by law!
A state where that "foul solecism"
a drunken man, reeling down the
street, besotted vacancy in his
face, profanity in his wake, sham
ing and outraging decent people,
is a rarity! A state where the
quondam man, "dull to shame and
dead to PRIDE" must skulk through
alleys, and sneak through back
doors in order to procure his
"booze."
It speaks volumes for the salu-
tary influence which our prohibi-
ton law has already had upon u
state when our leading state papers
deplore even one case Of drunken
ness in our regiment. In high
license states, one, two, twenty
cases of drunkenness would pass
unnoticed-in our state, one case
calls forth regret. To the decent
young men Of our state that grisly
caricature upon humanity, a
drunken man, is becoming an un-
familiar sight, thank God, and
whether they be prohibitionists
from principle or not, they are be-
coming so unaccustomed to the
hideousness of drunkenness that
the sight of it fills them with
shame and disgust and they give
it a wide berth. But, if we had
