Any time the st. Paul team meets the Mil
waukee team at Lexington park the Milwau-
kee team wins. St. Paul disputed this just
often enough to have the exception that
proves the rule-once.

face of the returns the Brewers earned their
game, making nine hits and only one error,
while the Saints made but seven hits and had
four errors. Yet the Saints batted balls d.

catches and stops. while the Brewers batted
balls that bounded badly for the locals in

game.
