GAMES SCHEDULED FOR TODAY
Grand Rapids at Minneapolis.

Yesterdays double-header at T,ex,np-
ton between st. Paul and Buffalo re-
suited IN split The first game, which
was one of the prettiest contests of the
season. went to the Bisons while the
second game was a waIk-away for the
Saints.
A faster fielding game than the first
one has not been seen in St. PauI for
many day. Not an error was mazda
on either side, and while both Fisher and
Gray were hit freely, close work on the
part Of the fielders kept the score down.
Gray had the best of Fisher so far as
hits were concerned, and he also re-
celVed faster support, although there
was but one weak spot in the local
team Houtz, in center, acted badly.
and while no errors are, or could be.
charged to him, he was in the main re-
sponsibe for the loss of the game. He
Went after everything that came his
way at the gait of a snail, seemingly.
and in the fifth inning ran in too far
on a fly from McKivitts bat that re-
suited in a two-base hit 1t was either
case Of the high wind or the sun, but
1t looked like an easy out, and Houtz
should have gotten it. Had the ball
been caught the score would have ended
to 4, instead of going to Buffalo. Hart
was again in the game, accepting
all his chances and sending out a couple
Of pretty singles, and he would have
again won game for the Saints in the
ninth but for sensational field work on
the part of Garry, who cut off a fly back
of second that would have been safe
hit on ony other center fielder in the
league. Shugart, Geier and Spies also
put up a splendid game. Between the
three they accepted twenty chances
without a skip.
In the second game the opposing pitch
ers were Denzer and Baker, and while
the latter proved an easy proposition for
the SAINTS Denzer was only hit six times
and no runs resulted, as he kept the
connections well scattered There was
not time in the game that the Bisons
were in danger of getting a man across
the plate. In this game like the first,
the Saints played the prettiest kind of
field game, while the visitors put up
as yellow a style as it was possible to
manufacture.
HART A BUSY MAN.
Hart had eight chances at second and
accepted all, and landed a hit and a run
to help himself along The ONLY error
was made by Vaughn and that was ex
cusable, as he caught his man at second
after letting him get to first safely. Shu-
CART, HoutZ, Isbeu and Lally did the
bulk Of the hitting for the Saints. They
seemingly hit the ball at will The s3i-
sons all played a rocky article of ball
with the exception of Hall and Cockman.
