The blue and white of the ST. Paul
Lacrosse club was trailed in the dust
or defeat by the fast team from Winni-
peg at Lexington park yesterday aft
ernoon. The Saints were defeated, but
they went down fighting and in one of
the prettiest games of lacrosse ever
witnessed in st. Paul, they forced the
W1nnipeggers to work full time for
their victory. Score: Winnipeg, II; st.
Paul, 8.
ST. Paul lost the first of the series
of two games with the Winnipeg team
largely in her goal. Had1ey was out
of the game and Barclay attempted to
take care of the big hole in the net.
Barclay worked hard but was unfor-
tunate and lacking support at several
critical moments, allowed the Winni-
peggers to pile up goals fast enough to
keep them in the running until they
pulled ahead at the finish and won the
game.
The fast scoring was the remark
able feature of the game. Winnipeg
started off with a rush and startled the
st. Paul supporters by piling up three
goals In the first seven minutes.
A slaughter of the Saints was prom
lsed, when the local players pulled
themselves together and turned loose
a squirt that entirely changed the opin-
ions of the timid ones. In less time
than 1T took the Winnipeggers to shoot
their three goals the Saints got into
the play and the score was knotted up
when the whistle sounded the end Of
the first quarter.
The fast pace of the players of the
two teams in this opening period told
and the second quarter opened with
the playing a slower and more careful
game. The quarter had allowed the
teams 10 take each others measure,
and with all things even, the play be-
came cautious battle for the VIC
tory.
Saints Take the Lead.
Danny Whyte put the Saints in front

second quarter by shooting the ball

less than two minutes after this shot
Quinn put Winnipeg In the lead with
another one that Barclay failed to
stop.
The third quarter belonged to the
Canadians. The rest appeared to re-

Whyte and Brown were a host in
themselves, and three minutes after

Brown made it look the Saints game

again st. Paul carried the ball to the
Canadian net, and mighty heave by
Brown sent it on by the outstretched
stick of Haines.
Strong Bid for Victory.
The Saints needed but two to tie.
and they played as they never played
before, but the Canadians, seeing their
victory slipping away, also played a
desperate game, and after two and a
half minutes of the fastest play of the
game Cassidy cinched the victory. the
whistle for the end sounding half a
minute later.
With the closing day of the state fair
as a counter attraction, the attendance
did not come up to the expectations of
the local club. The Winnipeg team
had twelve fast players In the game,
but several Of their fastest men will
| not reach st. Paul until this morning.
Several changes will probably be made
In the st. Paul lineup for the Labor
day game, and this battle promises to
be the lacrosse game of the year.
In yesterdays game 1T was hard to

team. The st. Paul men played a
steady, hard game, which can be ap-

Canadians played the fastest lacrosse

every man on the local team played to
win from start to finish, and while de-
feated showed that they were not out
classes.
Kirk, -Hendron, Winkler and Haines
drew the spot light at frequent inter-
walls. Haines' work at goal even
eclipsed the showing made here by
the famous DR.. Baker, of the Calumets.
The passing and team play of the
Canadians was one of the big features
of the game. The teams lined up as
