Dashner'S Poor Form Defeats
Savage Yannigans Sunday.

ceIJent preseason form allowed the
St Paul team to run in runs III the
third inning of the exh1b1tloh game az
League park Sunday AFTERNOON anu
as result the Savage second team
lost the game by the score OF ~ TO s.
owner Savage had sent Manager
Jimmy Jackson and the flrSt team 10
Kansas City to play double header
with the Kansas City Blues, and as a
result the team that faced the SAINTS
here was poor representation OF tne
real strength of the Savages. P1tch-
field, Outfielder Tallion played short,
King, a recruit, held down third, ana
Tonneman, Rapps, baltimore, La
Flunbois and the pitchers were the
only regulars in the lineup
Dashner was far from the form he
has been showing of late, and oerore
entering the game announced tnat MS
arm was too sore to pitch: This ne
showed a little later when he allowed
II hits and 9 runs in five innings.
In the beginning of the sixth inning,
Grover took the box and allowed only
two hits and one run The fact that
to Dashners poor condition was
shown by the fact that not single
error was made during the entire
game.
La FTumbOis Coming.
Pete La FIum bois the Indian, play
ed the first full game since the train
ing season opened, and he celebrated
it by hitting out single and double,
scoring one run and covering his
reservation perfectly in center field.
Higgins, the Topeka pitcher, drove in
the first run for Topeka in the eighth
inning when he singled to left field.
In the last inning baltimore got a
three-bagger, scoring La Flumbois.
and few minutes later Rapps drove
out single that brought Latin more
home. L. Miller, who played center
field for the Saints chalked up two
three baggers one in the third and
one in the ninth.

Whit of this nausea when he missed
the fly that started the windup.
Although the Savages lost to the
Saints Saturday afternoon by 8 to 1
score, the game was as good a show
as the most fastidious fan could wish.
A few hobbies after nine innings of
steady playing gave the game to the
visitors, but somebody had to bobble
some time to allow the fans to get
home in time for their week-end
baths.
In five innings Saturday, Steel of the
Saints was faced by 20 men. He al
lowed hits, all that the Savages got
during the game, but he struck out
eight men and let in only one run.
Steel joined the Kelly squad only a
few days before, coming from the st.
Louis Cardinals and it had been pre-
dicted that he would not stick. How
ever, after Saturdays game, every one,
including the two st. Paul newspaper
men, were of the opinion that he
would stick and keep on sticking if
he kept up Saturdays pace.
