BLUES IN FIRST PLACE.
BEAT COLUMBUS 5 TO 4 IN A
GREAT FINISH.
While a crowd of 11,691 wildly excited fans howled and cheered as only raving baseball rooters can, the pinch hitting Blues bunched four bingles with a base on balls and three errors in the eighth inning of yesterday's game at Association park, and scored five runs after two men were out and the most optimistic Kansas Cityan had given up hope. The Blues won from Columbus by a score of 5 to 4, and went to the top of the American Association Standing. This is the first time in the history of the association that Kansas City has had a clear title to the top notch.
It was a glorious finish to what was probably the most exciting game ever played at Association park. The crowd was the largest that has ever been inside the fences adn the rooters filled the bleachers, stood up in the grandstand and swarmed out on the grounds and surrounded the field.
