The Brewers never got more than two hits
in an inning.
Yesterdays victory should be the more
gratifying to the vanity of the local fans in
view OF the fact that two of the best play
ers in the team were disabled at the start
Mcbride and Preston-and Nyce was tempor-
arily put out Of the game during it's progress.
Mcbride was so unfortunate as to severely
strain his hip during one Of the games at

has Charley horse, but is expected to re-
