The games in St. Paul and Minneapolis were bad ones for the Indianapolis team's batting, as the averages of every man on the team except O’Brien and Heydon show a falling off in the last week. A week ago the team had five batters over the .300 mark, and now there are only two, and one of these, Miller, has not ; taken part in a game in the last week. ! A number of the players are hovering near the .300 mark, and if the team could | encounter a few days of easy pitching, I and get their eyes on the ball, the aver ages would swell mightily.

Frank V. I^ennon, the golf professional of the public links at Riverside Park, has strong hopes of making the. Riverside course eventually one of the best known in the country. Jfe says there Is no reason why it should not become such, a« the conditions are unusually favorable. Mr. Lennon Is only twenty-five years old. but he knows a thing or two about golf that older heads at the game have yet to learn. He. was born in Edinburgh. Scotland, and had hi* first golf Instruction under the watchful eye of Freddie Herd, one of the best known professionals itt Scotland. Mr. I^nnon came to this country eight years ago. He- played golf with the Marion Cricket Club of Philadelphia for two years after coming u>

this country.

He was with the Toronto Golf Club in 1900, when ft© won the open championship. Leaving Toronto. Mr. Lennon played with the Gloucester Club, of Massachusetts, for one season. Last winter he played on the famous Palm Beach course in Florida with such experts as Fenn, Nicolls and Low. Must Learn the Game. Mr. Lennon says that those that come to the Riverside links must come to learn the game. He does not want the course to be Incumbered by a lot of .onlookers drawn from jcurioslfy alone. Mr. Lennon says he will gladly give Instruction to any who corfie, providing they are really in earnest in their desire to learn the game, the popularity of which is steadily Increasing, and will manifest the proper Interest in the game. Regarding the Riverside course, Mr. Lennon said: “In the course of a few years I don't see why the public links should not be among the best in the country. We have the ground out there, and we have a fairly good lay of land. I have a half dozen men at work now laying out nine new holes, which, with . the present nine-hole course, will make a regulation sized course of eighteen holes. The additional holes are being placed Just north of the present course, with the Big Four railroad running between the old and new course. The new course will measure, about 3.000 yards, and the total course about 5.000 yards, making one of the longest courses in the country." Mr. Lennon stands ready to meet any golfer in the country. He is .very anxious for matches with some of the cracks of the country in order to arouse Interest in the game and to call to the Riverside links the attention that he thinks they deserve. Air. Lennon is playing an eighteen-hole match with Harry CoUls, of the Country Club, to-day. SUCCESSFUL SHOOT ENDS.

It seems a bit singular that after winning against the Hoosiers’ two best pitcher*. Williams and’ Suthoff, the Saints had to go down before the hoarv < and ancient Klllen. The latter has run the gamut of about every club in the countty, from Minneapolis to Pittsburg, and has never remained very long with any of them.

These postponements are particularly to be regretted for the reason that Indianapolis was in wlnniag form when she struck Minneapolis, and in fair way to repeat the treatment awarded the Millers In this city, when WHmot's men dropped four straight.
