Yesterday evenings game between the
Shamrocks and the Saints was the most
desperately disputed contest that has@ever
been seen in st. Paul.
The brilliant plays on both sides were
applauded time and again, and the large
audience fairly lost their heads as the
game went on. From the start the
Saints showed they had lost the fear of
their opponents that characterized their
play In last Sundays game From the
first draw the blue shirts went at it
hammer and tongs and had the famous
Shamrocks played off their feet In the
first quarter, while the play was fairly
even, st. Paul had the best of it, and
when time was nearly up Elliott made a
dash for goal, eluding F1ett and Cat
tanach, and passed the ball into the net.
This attack of Elliott's was probably the
most sensational piece of work of the en-

men and tailed. A few minutes later

The Saints went after the Greens with
spirit in the second quarter, but the
Shamrocks had evidently come to the
conclusion that they had to do something,
and after five minutes play Pentland shot
the ball in the nets for the first goal for
the Shamrocks. The Saints were still one

The Saints did not play the game put
up at Lexington park last Sunday. The
field was small and slippery which af-
fected both teams alike. Allen, Brown
and Kervin forgot all about passing sew
eral times and made futile efforts to shoot
from the center of the field. Time after
time there were men uncovered waiting
for the ball, but the anxiety to score was
too great and chances were wasted. The
