to wipe out the defeat of Decoration
day, the Duluth lacrosse team clashed
with the ST. Paul team at Lexington
park yesterday afternoon and was
trimmed again. Score, st. Paul IL.
Duluth 5.
The features Of the contest were the
ease with which the blue and white
played rings around the blue and red,
and the numerous accidents to little
Mr.. Towers, Of the Duluth team. Be-
ing one of the mainstays of the visi-
tors, Mr.. Towers mixed in almost ev-
cry scrimmage during the afternoon
and collected one bunged nose, two
bruised shins, a sprafned knee and
several minor bruises.

Towers stood without assistance at the
finish and cheered Justify for the win
nerS The winners also cheered for the
losers, this showing that the best Of
good feeling was spread all around.
Fearing that the three new men on
the Duluth team might be strong
enough to wrench a win from the
blue and white, the st. Paul men start
ed fast, and one minute after the open
ing whistle had sounded Allen shot the
ball into the Duluth net. This hurry
work returned confidence to the Saints
and the players settled down to their
work.
Duluth Ties Score.
After seven minutes Of rapid work
the Duluth men succeeded in getting
the ball to the other end of the field
and despite desperate lunge of Eddie
Murphy, who threw himself in front
Of the shot, the ball went by the goal
keeper and the score was knotted for
moment.
ST. Paul started again, and used just
one minute to pulling ahead, Jack FL
lott scoring the shot this time. Du-
luth fought hard during the rest Of
the first quarter and prevented the
blue and white from piling up goals.
In the second quarter Brown after
two minutes of work on the part Of
the blue and white got the ball and
shot it by Fauble., Mr. Fauble had
more trouble blocking shots for Du-'
luth than did Eddie E. Murphy for
st. Paul, Mr.. Fauble running mostly to

The blue and white used the entire
second quarter, Allen shooting a goal
six minutes after Brown had hurried
the one by Mr.. Faub1e. Brown came
back two minutes later with his Sec
ond goal for the quarter, and not to be
outdone, Allen shot in still another
thirty seconds after the ball had been
put in play.
Grant won much applause at the
opening Of the third quarter by shoot
ing the ball by Eddie Murphy in the
rapid time of four minutes, and after
Cowie had scored again for st. Paul
in five minutes, Mcmillan lifted the
third goal for Duluth by the blue and
whites goal keeper. This rapid work
bothered Eddie, and before he recov-
cred Cargill shot in a. fourth goal in
the hurry-up time of one minute.
Whyte scored the last goal of this
quarter for st. Paul in one minute.
The Last Quarter.
Mcdonald started the scoring for
Duluth in the last quarter by shooting
q goal after seven minutes of play,
and this ended the work for the blue
and red. Danny Whyte shot two goals
in three minutes, and six minutes later
Oehme made it IL goals for the Saints.
The st. Paul team played a fast and
pretty game from start to finish. The
rapid work at the start showed the
blue and white men that they were
able to handle the players from Duluth
with ease, and the blue and white
played just fast enough to hold the
interest of the spectators to the end.
Duluth, though outclassed, played
hard game, and fought until the
final whistle blew. Towers won the ad-
miration of the crowd by his fearless
times, but refused to retire from the
game, and played on to the end.
The st. Paul men played an even
game, and it would be hard to pick
individual stars. Elliott was pointed
out as a dangerous man to the Duluth
team, and several players ''soldiered"
near the big fellow. Armstrong play
ed fast game, but the entire team
showed that team work Is being stud
led. The teams lined UP as follows:
