Cross. who allowed the Saints but four
hits one day last week, was put in to
save the game, but he couldn't do 1t.
Comiskey's men took so kindly to Cross
that their lead of one run when he en-
tered the box had been increased to seven
when the game was over. McGill was on
the slab during the first few innings for
st. Paul, but was taken out at the end
of the fifth inning, and Denzer pitched
the game out. The game might have
ended differently had McGiH been left in,
but it must be said that he was given the
ranlIest kind of deal by Haskell. At
least four of the runs made off him were
due to Haskells errors Of judgment or
stubborn determination to give him the
worst of 1t. At times it seemed that the
latter was the more probable reason for
his decisions. Big Roger Denzer was in
fine form, and allowed but two hits after
his first inning in the box.
PRESTON GOES IN
Taken a whole the Saints put up
rafting good game, something after the
style of their play at the opening of the
season. Geier made two bad errors in
center field, both, undoubtedly, due to his
injured hand. He should not have been

and Shugart and Ball hammered it as
though they were working out old grudg-

field, Ball accepting eight chances with

ror with six chances.
