Denver at MINNEAPOLIS.
Kansas City at Omaha
St. Joseph at Des Moines
Yesterdays storm interrupted the first
game of the series between ST. Paul and
Colorado Springs at the end of the first
inning with the score 0 to O. The game
was first postponed for the regulation
thirty minutes when the first drops Of
nain fell, as it was so dark that the play
ers could not see the ball. Within a mo-
mcnt or two Managers Ryan and IIulen
had agreed that it would be the best
iDolicy to call the game off entirely, and
This was done. The spectators were near
ly all drenched by the rain, but no one
was hurt and no damage to the park
buildings or grounds followed the hard
wind
The teams will play double header
today. with the first game starting at 2
O'Clock. The second game will be called
Ten minutes after the close of the first.
! Check and McNeeley were the oppos-
5ug pitchers in the contest, and both
were pitching in fine form when the
game was called. The Colorado Springs
teams looks a great deal better than on
fits first visit to st. Paul. The make
up Of the team has been entirely chang
Cd and strengthened with a number Of
new men. Tannehill, who has been doing
GAtElItul WOIh IOE A1lIlH6apOllSt mas JONI
ed the Springs aggregation and is COW
ering first base in place Of Law, who
was traded to Minneapolis. Hulen has
left the field and is covering his old po-
sition at second He was at one time the
star of the Western in this position
Holland and HerIon have been added
to the outfield in place of Hulen and
McHalc- Shea has succeeded Holdings
worth in the short field.

Check and Cogan will be at the points
Tor the Saints in today's game, while
NlcNeeley and Thomas will probably do
tno twirling for the visitors. The make
Up Of the Saints Will be the same as in
ihC final game with Denver, except that
Ersitenstein Will play the sun field in
place Of Cogan. Should Ryan's condi-
5iGn permit he may so back to left field.
in this case Lippert will play center
and Dillard will replace Holmes on the
initial sack.
Yesterdays game had gone far enough
for CArGthers to toss HcrHon out of the
game. He reached first on Holly's er-
Ter, went to second on Hemphills out,
and TO third on Hollands hit. A double
steal was tried and Hernon was caught
several feet from the plate. He objected
10 the decision in such an emphatic man
ner that Caruthers put him out Of the
t-tt'+iN anu GtOuildS. I1GiilpuHl also GREW
sarcastic and will have to part with a
five SPOT.
nc Saints now have two postponed
ednes with Colorado Springs. One will,
OF course, be played off today but just
wien the other will be disposed of is 4
question. 1t would have been possible
TO have worked it in in this series but
1c' the unexpected postponement yes
terday. 1t is possible that the manage
mont will decide to have another double
header tomorrow.
Kansas City has lost five of the last
six games played, and the leaders are
NOW within hailing distance The next
four teams, Omaha, St Joe. MINNEAPOLIS
aud st. Paul, are nicely punched and run
ming well, and there is plenty of talk
now that at least two and possibly all
four will pass the "Counterfeits'' with
in the next month. There are many of
4he opinion that if the leaders are headed
they will lose heart and viii never be
able to pull up again.
''he Colorado Springs men have the
7 ,'utation of resorting to questionable
tactics at times when games are going
against them. The Saints are not dirty"
ball players, but there are some very
lhusky young men on the team and they
know how to take care of themselves
In pinch 1t is to be hoped that every
thing but legitimate ball will be cut out
Of this series and that the games will
he won and lost on their merits.
In looking over the records 1t is found
that but six of the original members of
the St. Paul team have survived to date
These are Ryan, Higgins Holly, Nc
Gill, Wilson and Holmes. Not a man
en- the team has played in every game
row margin, as he has been absent from
left field but once. Brain has not missed
game since he joined the team, and
Werden also had, clear record UP to
the time that he was released.
1t is now an assured fact that Parker
and Thomas have been released. The
former has returned to his home in Chi
cago, and it is hardly probable that he
viii catch on with any of the Western
clubs, at least this season. Thomas is
10 be given a trial by Colorado Springs.
1T is said that he will be pitted against
his old team mates in the present series
with the understanding that If he wins
ne will be given a place on the regular
pitching staff and if he loses-(?9.
NcGm has figured in twenty-one games
this season. He pitched eighteen full
games and has broken even, winning
nine and losing nine. In one game he
relieved Breitenstein and in another he
relieved Kpepper. and both games were
lost In his last game he was relieved
ny Breitenstein, who pulled the game
out of the fire. Breitenstein has pitched
seven games and has won three of them.
Cogan is the bright and shining star of
the St Paul pitching staff. He has pitch
ed seven games and has lost but one of
them. Check has had but one chance in
the box and showed good form. That
he lost the game was due to no fault
