KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 24.-But
for errors st. Paul would have made
a clean sweep of the double header
here this afternoon instead of landing
only the windup contest. Five hobbies
greatly assisted the. locals in pulling
through the first game to a to vic
tory, but it was a walkover for the
Saints to capture the last contest by
score of to 4.
Although four of the five errors made
by the Saints entered into the locals
scoring in the opener, st. Paul played
Kansas City to a standstill even at
that, and but for Nances home run
in the ninth inning the result might
have been different.
COOns made his first local appearance
in the box for Kansas City and pitched
a good game although the Kelleyites
made it warm for him in the second
inning and took a lead of three runs.
Ferguson was found for eleven hits by
the Blues and the blonde twirler could
not keep them scattered well enough
to keep them from counting.
In the second game st. Paul redeem
ed itself in the field by playing an err
rcrless game and by hitting Durham
hard and timely 1t was procession,
for the Blues could not connect with
Chech in succession enough to pull
even into dangerous proximity.
One of the features of the first game
was the fielding of Higgins, the clever
little second baseman having nine as
sists. The batting of Nance in both
games was another feature Of the aft
