1t was the same old story last Sat-
urday afternoon at Sibley park. The st.
Anthony pickets of st. Paul came with
an unbroken run of victories with the
fastest amateurs or the twin cities and
met their Waterloo before the bunch of
sluggers in a regular bingfest and left
for home with score of 10 to 6 against
them. The Y. NJ. c. A. boys looked for
their bumps from this team and the
second inning looked like it when they
found "Jingle" Sheldon for three hits,
one three Dagger and two singles, had
one man hit with the ball and two er;
rors by the locals; which Melted them
four runs. The locals, however, went
after Carroll, the pickets big pitcher and
found him for five hits and secured
base on balls, which Melted them five
runs. After this the story runs only
one way. The locals securing three
more runs in the fourth before Carroll
is relieved by Block. One run was Sc
cured in the seventh, which with the one
secured the first inning Melted the local
boys 10 runs. The Pickets scored one
more in the fifth and seventh innings.
The game was an exciting contest
throughout and was enjoyed by the
crowd who attended. The feature of
the game was fielding of the locals, Sc
curing three double plays in the game.
While the attendance was fairly good,
it was not sufficient to meet the heavy
expense. Next Saturday the Y. NJ. G.
A. will probably play either Springfield
or Amboy.
In a very fast game the Leather

Trimmed Up chasita.
The Austin Westerns won their Sec
ond game of the season yesterday, when
they trimmed the Chaska team by
score of 6 to with patched-up lineup.
The Austins were in poorer shape than
in any previous game and yet they put
up their best contest of the year. The
Austins went to Chaska without q
pitcher and one of the regulars missed
the train. Art Lyman, manager, cap
tain and left fielder, did the pitching
himself and held the Chaska sluggers
down to two hits, both of them being
made by "SpikeY Anderson. Lyman was
given excellent support by the rest Of
the team and but for his wildness in the
first few innings the Chaskans wouldn't
have had a lOokin. The Austins had the
usual trouble with the Chaska umpire,
who was chased before the game was
over.
