Louisville today.
Back from their short melancholy
jaunt through the western end of the
Hickey circuit, M. Kelley's game band
of crippled ones will this afternoon
clash with the Tebeau lead team at
Lexington park.
The Saints returned from Milwaukee
yesterday morning. Geier and Cogan
were able to accompany the team, and
have practically recovered from the in
juries received in the collision in
Wednesdays game.
Geier was struck in the face by Co
gan's elbow and in a groggy condi-
ton for the rest of the afternoon. He
attempted to continue in the game
and insisted he was all right but after
fielding a line drive a few moments
later he was too weak to make the
throw to first and was assisted to the
bench. Until late in the evening the
little man could not remember the col
lision and even then did not know that
Cogan was the other part of the acct
dent.
Kelley After Players.
Manager Kelley did not return with
the team, but went to Chicago in
search of a fast man to fill the hole in
the team. 1t is understood that KEEL
ley went to get DObbs. Dobbs is now
reported as signed with Chicago, but
Kelley will see the big league managers
and endeaYOr to secure a player to help
out
The hard luck run now looks prac-
tically over. The local management
has been working hard to secure new
players, and the fanatics may see the
team back in a position to play winning
ball before next week is well on. One
fast man has been signed and would be
with the team today but for an unex-
pected delay. Kelley expects to an
nounce him in the batting list by Sun
day.
Pitcher Slette, picked by baseball
critics as the star of the Northern
league, has been signed by st. Paul,
and may report to Manager Kelley to-
day. Slette is big, strong fellow, and,
making good. should prove a great
brace to the twirling department which
has been demoralized by the extra
Work the men have been called upon
to do.
The Saints, if things break right,
should make a good showing in the
series with the leaders. Tebeau's team
is handicapped by the absence Of two
of the regular players, and with proper
encouragement the Kelley band should
make a hard fight for the games.
Hard luck alone can be blamed for
the condition of the team during the
past few weeks, and the fanatics who
are with the club when it is a winner,
should prove themselves real sports
men by supporting the crippled team

The Saints open a three-game series
with the Colonies at Lexington park this
afternoon. Stimmel will work for ST.
Paul The game will be called at $3.50
o'clock.
Cogan was badly Jared in the collision
with Geier at Milwaukee, but anxious to
keep the team out of the hole, the alder
man insists that he is again ready to
Peirce's hand is getting back into shape
and as soon as he Is able to shoot the
ball to second without trouble, he will
take his turn back Of the plate.
Ebright is slated to umpire the series at
Lexington. Ebright did not win any great
amount of praise at Milwaukee, and the
fanatics will please suspend Judgment.
Kelley is due to reach ST. Paul this
morning. The management went to Chi
cago after players and an outfelder may
return with him this morning.
Robert Lynch, eX-Saint shortStop is
Just like all the others, winning special
mention for his work with the Colorado
Springs team. Lynch, according to the
press reports is hitting the ball with a
regularity that is painful and his fielding
is winning applause.
The Evening Wisconsin used up almost
column telling about the rowdy tactics
of the Saints The other Milwaukee pa
pers insist that the Saints had protest
coming when billiard was ordered out of
the game by Ebright, but claim that the
Kelley followers acted like gentlemen AS
the Brewers lost the game, the Wisconsin
man can be excused.
