The visiting Saints fell easy victims to
the local Saints in the opening game at
Lexington yesterday with ST. Joseph. If
days off are as beneficial to Manager
Ryan's men as the result of yesterdays
contest would Indicate then the fans are
sorry that President Hickey did not make
an even worse tumble Of his schedule and
allow a few more open dates. On a
former occasion when these two punches
OF Saints came together at Lexington
they played baseball through the entire
! series that was on the nip and tuck
der; not one Of the three were decided
until the last man was out.
Knowing this, the few fans that turned
out yesterday expected to see good fast
game of baseball that would be close
right to the finish. But. oh, what
slaughter. Ryan's men broke all records,
in so far as getting hits goes. They
piled UP a total of twentytnree. Nc
,Donald was sent in to do the twirling,
Ejust the same as in the opening game in
the other series, but the story at the
end was different. In that other game
mcdonald held the locals down to eight
hits in an eleven-inning game that stood
one to one at the opening of the eleventh,
land McDonald's associates jumped on
lDIcGiu and won. out, assisted by a couple
of fielding errors. Yesterday the visit
sng Saints were never in the hunt Elk
Aid Cogan was sent against them, and
he trounced them properly. He allo y eli
but three safe hits during the entire
game, and these Melted but one run,
which came in the opening inning. And
behind Cogan there was sharp, fast
fielding game.
Only c9e black mark went up against
Ryan's men, and, strange to say, Hug
gins drew that. He had an easy grounder
Off Hulswitt's bat in the fifth inning
(Which would have been handled ninety
nine times out of a hundred, but over
confidence, coupled with bad bound,
brought grief to the little shortstop. NO
runs resulted from the error. And Hug
more than made up for his error with the
stick He made two hits, both Of which
were nicely placed and both Melted him
two bags Brain also broke into the lit
column with a tWo-bagger and a nice
single. But the eX-alderman was the
bright particular feature and shining
star of the game In addition to pitching
q gilt-edged game of ball, he faced his
opponent five times, and as many times
did he smite the ball safely. 1t is true
that TWO or MS NUS were very ScIaICilSi
but they carried him to first, and just tC
even up and make them good he lifted
the ball over the center ielder's head fol
q home run on his final attempt. CoGar
also had five fielding chances, some OF
them difficult, and none got away. Next
to COgan, attention must be called tC
Lippert. 1t is a Cinch that Lippert was
sorry for his recent bad work, and that
he had fully determined to do better be-
fore yesterdays game started if the op-
portunjty offered. The opportunity came
and the new man grasped it with all tho
pedals that he had loose. In six times
up he made four clean hits and accepted
three difficult chances i'll center. In add.
tiCu to Cogan and Lippert every man or
the team lined the ball out for two SAFE
hits. 1t was a great day for batting av-
erages, and, as some of the Saints nee(
Something Of that sort, they We're no
slow in getting on the band wagon.
The visitors, as a rule, played beauti
full game in the field. 4 couple of error.
that were made were bad but they wer,
more than counter-balanced by three fas
doubles. 1t was not the errors of the Wis
iting Saints that lost them the game
