to Be Taken Under the Crippled
Condition of the st. Paul Team
Summary of the Eight Games.
! The st. Paul Lacrosse team went over
to Minneapolis yesterday afternoon, or,
rather, a ST. Paul team did, for Murphy.
| Stark, Mcmillan and Warren, Of the
regular team, were not with them, and
they encountered the first defeat Of the
season. The game was to have been
started at 4 o'clock sharp, but 1t was
All when Referee Luxton faced the bah
between Strachan, Of St Paul, and
Raines, of Minneapolis, and said play
| ball.
At the outset it locked as though st.
Paul would win, even in its crippled
condition, for Strachan drew the ball and
passed 1T at once to Newson. This was
Newson's very first public game of Ia
crosse, and he may be forgiven for losing
the ball to Vance, who jumped for him
with fervor Vance made a short run,
but was much bothered by Newson's
| close checking, and so made a pass to
Wall. Hamilton got the ball from him
promptly and made a long throw to
Danny Whyte, who ran, lodging sue
cessfully several of the Minneapolis de-
Tense men, and made a shot for goal.
The ball passed so close to the goal that
Umpire Woolover thought it went
through and held up his hand.
The st. Paul boys threw up their Sticks
yelled and looked rejoiced, with large
r, but it was only for a minute, for
nine of the Minneapolis men conferred
with the umpire and he admitted that
perhaps the ball did not go through.
Then Danny Whyte said that he didn't
think that he had scored anyway and
the st. Paul boys went around and found
/ their sticks again.
The referee then faced the ball between
Lalande and Whyte, and the game
started again. Whyte got the ball, but
Baird, who was standing around with
malice aforethought, bounced on him,
and, getting the ball, made a long over
hand throw that transferred the game to
the st. Paul end of the field. Here there
was a hard scrimmage, in which the
weakened st. Paul defense was kept busy
| entertaining the importunate Minneapolis
home players.
TAFT, who always plays a remarkably
pretty game, got the ball and made a
| shot that was neatly diverted by Jack
| Moore in the st. Paul goal, but the ball
| kept on going and rolled under the right
field bleachers. The referee called time.
! and, recovering the ball, faced it be-
| tween TAFT and Fink. Fink drew the
| ball, but Raymond got it from him and
made short run and passed it to Cur
RE, who in turn passed it to TAFT The
St Paul goal was undefended just then,
| and TAFT scored with neatness and pre-
cison. Time Of first game just fifteen
| minutes.
The second game was started after a
rest Of just three minutes, and this time
Raines got the ball. This game lasted
just sixteen minutes, and was finally
| scored by Raines by such f1uke that he
actually looked frightened
The ball was on the steady jump dur
Ing this game and made repeated efforts
to get through the goals at either end Of
the field. Once it crawled into a hole at
the west end Of the field and had to be
I dug out and faced between Raines and
Moore, who were after it at the time
Moore, who jumped into the match with
out any practice whatever, put up d game
that was a cOrker, and saved the St Paul
goals time after time. He got the ball
on this face-off and made Il good, long
throw with it, but it fell badly and Walls
got it and passed it to Currie whose
mouth was full of oatmeal, but he caught
it neatly aud essayed a long shot on
goals. 1t was a miss, however and
Moore and Fink both ran after 1t. Moore
got it and tried another long throw, but
Raines got it and tossed it over a small
knot of ST. Paul boys, expecting that
Raymond would get 1t and pass 1t
through the unprotected goals.
Neither Raymond nor any of the st.
Paul boys were there to stop it though,
and it slowly and calmly rolled through
the goals. Game for Minneapolis.
When he saw what had happened
Ranes was the most startled looking
man on the field. Really the shock was
dangerous. The first two games were
the longest OF the match, none of the
others lasting over seven minutes, and
one of them-the siXth-only lasted one
half minute. 1t was clearly evident
after the first game that St. Paul could
not win the match, and Minneapolis had
an easy time of it. TAFT, Currie and
young Raymond put up a fast game for
Minneapolis, the latter's running and
lodging being especially noteworthy, but
for that matter, the whole of the Mime
apoIis team put up a good, clean, gen
tiemanly game, and showed the result of
their nightly practices.
Elliott. Whyte and Agnew did some
pretty running and passing, and ElFiott's
running catch Of a long thrown ball in
the seventh game was the prettiest catch
IN the whole game; but the absence of
such players as Murphy Stark and Nc
MILAN on the defense so weakened St
Paul that the best playing that was pos
sibe for the rest of the team was UNI
awaiting. AS a matter of fact, St Paul
was able to produce only eleven players,
SO Minneapolis laid off one tG e-zn things
and the match was played between eleven
OF the latter clubs fastest players and
eight of the ST. Paul's regular players
ard three extras.
In spite Of the fact that the match
was so one-s1ded, It was very fast and
exciting and thrilled the Minneapolis au-
