KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June S.-St. Paul
heaped on revenge for the previous two
defeats in the closing game of the series
today. defeating the Blues by score of
10 TO and doing it easily.
Kansas City tried out new pitcher,
straight from Kansas university, and the
Champions dampened his association am
billions to the extent of fifteen hits,
punched in scoring form.
Allen got away all right for three in
ningS, but then trouble began, and as a
him fer five hits in succession in the
ninth inning, scoring five runs. 1t was
St. Paul day from beginning to end,
SlagIe keeping Kansas City out of the
running practically all the way. In two
innings the Blues squeezed in counters,
but Slagle on two occasions retired the
side with the bases full. once in the third
again in the wind up inning, when the
locals threatened to show squirt. The
SAINTS broke away with two runs to the
good in the opening inning on Wheeler'S
pass. Hills muff off OBrien's drive and
Kelleys hit to left.
Singles in a row by Sullivan, Slagle and
Jones netted the Saints another run in
singles, WheeleT's fly to center and
O'Brien's double added two more to the
champions total in the seventh, and then
the finishing touches came in the shape
of five runs in the ninth.
Slagle. who did some heavy stick work
to win his own game, got his third hit of
the day as starter of the trouble and
then Chngman,s pass, singles by. Wheeler,
O'Brfen and Kelley, with Chech's double,
rounded it out.
The Saints left on an early train for
Louisville, where they open tomorrow.

NORTHFIELD Mimi, June 3.-Carle-
toms baseball team will play their second
game with the Hamline team tomorrow
at Hamline. Although the Carleton team
is out of the race as far as the cham
pionship goes. the placing of the pen
nant depends in a great measure on the
outcome of her next two games.
AS it stands now, ST. Olaf leads, but
her column of victories includes a for
feited game from ST. Thomas, which has
been protested, andEWiH- have to be de-
c1ded upon by the t. conference. Should
this game be decided in favor of the To-
calls, and the latterC finish the season by
defeating Carleton again next Monday. it
will leave st. Olaf and 4famliEe tied for
first place, provided Hamline wins the
two games she has yet to play with Carle-
Thus it IS up to the Carleton team to
be the deciders of the conference cham
pionship. for should they defeat Ham
line and lose to st. Olaf the Oies would
get the rag. whereas If. they beat St.
Olaf and Hamline wins from Carleton the
Methodist tossers viii be the 1904
But should Carleton either win or lose
both games it will leave ST. Olaf and
Hamline tied. If Carleton beats both of
these teams ST. Thomas. would also be
tied for first. but if the conference should
decide the ST. ThomaS-St. Olaf game in
favor of the ''Tommies" the latter would
have first honor in the championship
race.
The conference race this year has been
close throughout with the exception of the
Manchester and Shattuck teams, which
fell below expectations. Carleton had
bad start, but has put up good article
OF ball in the last three or four games.
HamIne a Surprise
Hamline has been the surprise of the
season in this city at least as it was not
expected at the beginning of the cam
paign that her team would be a great
deal better than last years. Hamline's
coach, Spike" Anderson, has rounded
into form very strong aggregation, and
it is probably due to his work more than
anything else that HamIine landed so high
In the race this spring.
st, Thomas, always strong, has again
put forth a winning team, though it re-
mains to be seen whether they will again
fly the pennant. They lost two of the
first three games played, but since then
nave put up a fine game and pulled them
selves out of the rut.
The st. Olaf team. started off with q
roar and won the first six games played
by handy margins. AT that time the
pennant was conceded to them, but they
have taken a slump and now are placed in
a position where they will have to work
IKE TroJanS If they are to get first place.
The championship is in the air at pres
ent with the chances of the three leaders
almost even and the closest finish for
years will mark the closeeof the 1904 sea-
son, with the first place undecided until
the last game is played on June between
the two local teams, Carleton and ST.

BARES RIFLE SECRET
Designer Pope Tells of Guns
Used by Americans

CHICOPEE FALLS, Mass, June a.
H M. Pope, designer of the rifle barrel
used by the victorious American rifle
team at the Palma trophy match at Bis
ley, England, last July, today made the
following statement:
StevenS-Pope barrels were used by the
American team in the Palma match. In
outside dimensions, sights. caliber and
ammunition they conformed to the gov
ernment barrel, but inside were of su-
perior shape and finish. The writer was
not present at the match, but from con-
versa ton with members of the Ameri
can team feels perfectly confident that all
concerned knew exactly what rifles were
to be used before shot was fired. He
also understands that the British team
used rifles with barrels constructed by
private makers, these, however, with
government view marks, a system which
out government does not possess. Still,
these barrels were not made by the Brit
ish government.
I'm Ottawa, in 1902. the American team
used two experimental rifles previously
known to all as not standard, to which
no objection was made whatever, possibly
because the British team won.
1.-The rifle used by the American team
at Bisley was of special character. There
was somewhat of difference as to in
side dimensions between it and the United
States army service rifle. This difference
rested upon three points, as follows:
There were eight grooves of rifiing instead
of four. the depth of the groove was two
and three quarters thousandths of an inch
against four one -thousandths of an inch
in the Krag; and, thirdly, the twist of
the rihing was such as to give it one
complete turn in eight inches, instead of
ten inches in the service arm.
There was another feature in the
Stevens-Pope rifling which must be taken
into consideration, and this was the
rounding of the corners of the grooves
instead of making them angular. In the
Krag piece these corners are somewhat
rounded. but this is due mainly to the
dulling of the cutting tools.
''As to the advantages resulting from
the use of a barrel of this character, it
ond greater than the actual service piece,
and consequently slightly fiatter trajec-

get in touch with different kinds of sport
which they take with them to their homes

1t takes skill. nerve and horsemanship
to play polo, and the player is called upon

NEW YORK, June 3.-The death of
Henry d. Babcock, Yale polo player, from
injuries received in the first intercolle-
giate game in which Princeton defeated
Yale, has attracted the general attention
of the sporting public to this form Of
sport which has long fiourished among
certain classes in the East.
A study of the polo situation shows
the unmistakable fact that the game Is
becoming more and more popular every
year, and is gradually dropping its purely
society significance and is becoming in
stalled among the sports of America.
There was time, not long since, when
polo playing was beyond the aspirations
of all but the wealthiest young men,
and the games played at Newport were,
resolved to their last analysis, nothing
more than social gatherings brought into
existence under the disguise of sport.
Of late democracy has taken up the
game and when it was discovered that the
little cow ponies of the West, with little
training, made as good polo ponies as
could be desired, and in addition were to
be had at a reasonable price, the sport
took bound and was given the consider
alton that rightfully belongs to it ire
