BLUE AND WHITE WIN
ST. PAUL LACROSSE CLUB DE-
FEATS CHICAGO CALUMETS,
Local Players Prove Too Fast for the
Windy City Men--Work of Arm
strong, Elliott and Whyte Arouses
the Spectators.

For the second time this season the
crack Calumet lacrosse club, of Chi
cage, yesterday met defeat at the hands
of the ST. Paul lacrosse club. Score,
8 to 4.
The play of the Calumets proved a
disappointment After the first defeat
Manager Donnelly declared he would
bring team fast enough to stop the
blue and white players of st. Paul, to
Lexington, Donnelly brought the new
players, but they failed to make good
the managers promises. After the first
scoring against them the Calumets
weakened and were never again in the
running.
Armstrong, Elliott and Whyte were
the shining stars of the blue and white
team. Elliott and Armstrong continu-
ally brought the spectators to their
feet by sensational plays and all the
time Whyte played a steady, careful
game that made the spectacular plays
possible. Oehme and Murphy proved
too strong for the players against them
and the entire St. Paul team showed
the good results of the consistent prac-
tice worked nightly before the game
Burdett was a host in himself before
the goal.
The second game between the two
clubs demonstrated that lacrosse is
gaining a foothoId in ST Paul. The
turnstile figures showed an increase of
so per cent in the attendance. 1t is
more than probable that the ST. Paul
club will now endeavor to secure some
of the crack Canadian clubs for games
in st. Paul.
Al, IL. n.
strong, although their play was not
up to the pace set by the blue and
white Woods made several pretty
stops and delayed the first scoring, but
the st. Paul players persisted in fore
ing the Calumets to assume the de-
fensive and twenty-nine minutes after
the first whistle Elliott shot the rubber
into the net.
This first score appeared to take the
heart out of the Chicago players and
the second game came quick Elliott,
aided by the fast work Of Whyte and
Armstrong, again got the ball down
in front of the posts and another one
shot into the net.
The team work of the blue and white
dismayed the Calumets. Again the ST.
Paul players got the ball down to
Armstrong, Elliott and Whyte and the
big three did the rest Whyte scored
the third and fourth games.
In the second half the Calumets re-
covered their nerve for a moment and
forced the fighting. Short, rapid pass
es gave Fogg a chance, and one whip
of the little fellows stick ended all
chance for a complete blanking.
st. Paul fought harder after this
and the games came fast. Whyte hur-
ried two through in short order. The
Calumets right here worked in another
for Chicago, and Armstrong shot one
in. Chicago scored again and Whyte
| came right back with a game The
Calumets scored once more and two
| minutes after Oehme and Elliott
crowded in the ninth game for the
blue and white the whistle blew.
