ceedngly firm for the balance of this year
and the possibility OF higher prices is
being faced. Complaints of delays In the
deliveries continue frequent particularly
so far as old low priced contracts are con-

report that they are beginning to catch up
little. Some consumers are beginning

viction seems evident that the first to

ascertain good, sound concerns are having
prices named for them considerably below
these now prevailing, This insures TO the
makers a very handsome profit.

BLUES BATTING STREAK.
1t Won Out for Them in the Game
with the MiIiers.


KANSAS CITY, May 1.--(Special.)-A
batting streak in the eighth inning, coup
led with bad erroros, gave the Blues eight
runs and the game. BandeIin was in the
box for the Millers, and up 10 this time
the local team had been unable to hit him
effectively. His support, too, until the
fatal inning, was superb, the men play
ing like clock work. Smith accepted
twelve chances, several of them difficult,
without an error, and the entire infield
was a stone wall.
The Millers started the run getting in
the second inning, Hoffmaster's wild
throw giving Dixon three bases, and a
second bad throw scored him. The Blues
tried vainly to get the run back, but could
do nothing till the first man was up in
the eighth. Turner struck at wild
pitch, his third strike, and reached
first. Rothfuss scored him with a double
and was sent in by Cancels out and Hoff-
masters single. McVicker hit line fly
to right, which bounced past Wilmot,
scoring HoffmaSter and giving McVicker
three bags Rayner hit to BandeIin, who
was becoming ratified. He threw wild to
ed to third before Dixon could throw him
out Wilson forced Raymer to second
ana scored McVicker. Friend scored
Wilson with double. Viox walked Tur-
ner singled and scored Friend Dixon
lost his head and threw to second with
no one there, allowing two men to come
in. Camel ended the inning, after a sim
gle by Rothfuss. by grounder which
forced the latter out, with total of eight
runs off six hits. A long fly to right,
which McVicker did not reach, and a
single by Werden gave the Mfllers one
run in the eighth Attendance. 600

MILWAUKEE, May 1-(Special)-St.
Paul won an easy victory today. Reidy's
curves possessed no terrors for the Com
iskey contingent. and they solved his
benders for sixteen safe hits. while Mil
waukee could only get seven hits off
Fricken. In the field honors were about
even, and The natural result was the de-
feat of the local team. In three innings
However the Brewers had things pretty
much their own way. and chalked three
II rs up on the board, while the Sainrs
drew nothing but circles. Then there
was a change, and for the remaining six
innings Milwaukee drew blanks, while st.
Paul scored seven runs.
During the whole game there was good
fielding, which materially helped to keep
the number of runs to a minimum Reidy
was given splendid support, in spite of
the hammering he received, and Fricken
pitched in gilt-edged form. Seven scatter
ed hits We're all the heavy hitting Brew
ers could make Oft his delivery.
Milwaukee made fast start and Sc
cured two runs after FIicl1en gave a pass
and Geier threw wildly to first base.
Gray's two-bagger came at an opportune
moment. In the fourth inning, the st.
Pauls found Reidy without any trouble
and raped out sixteen hits with a total
of twenty bases, and that tells the story.
The features of the game were the play
ing of Geier and Halnan and a catch
in the outfield by Nicol, who spoiled a
home run drive for Fricken. In the
fourth inning the Saints planted three
hits in the outfield and scored run, two
men being left on bases when Spies
fouled out In the fifth inning Burke
singled, Geier hit for three bases, and a
fly to the outfield brought in two runs,
and in the sixth inning, three singles and
Lally's double tailed three more Spies
was hit in the eighth, Fricken sacrificed,
and singles by Burke and Geier helped
the Saints to another. In the ninth in
ming the visitors had three men on bases.
but sharp fielding prevented them from
scoring. The batting of Burke, Geier,
Lally and ShUgart was terrific. Stafford
was the only member Of the Milwaukee
team able to gauge Frickens delivery
successfully. Attendance, 1920. Score:
