CURIEY AND DILLARD RESPONSE
Bile FOR SAINTS DEFEAT
YESTERDAY
BRAIN COULD HAVE WON IT
Captain Lined Out His Home Run
When One Base Was Filled
Breitenstein Was
Effective
Western League.

Curley and Dillard presented Kansas
City with the second game Of the series
at Lexington yesterday afternoon. 1t
was a clear case OF gift. and one Te-
beau can give his league leaders no
credit for the win. Breitenstein was on
the slab for the Saints and there is lit
tie doubt but that he would have beaten
the visitors and put them down without
e score had not the two men mentioned
Wllled it otherwise. Dnlard was consid-
erably move responsible than Curley for
the defeat. foT he not only dropped
ball that was cleanly felded to him, but
was unable to pick it up as it lay at
mis- feet, although he had ample time to
put his man out had he sue -ceded in
this. Up to the time that the bad play
ing began Ereitenstein had pitched a
mastery game Of ball. allowing but one
mt an inning and giving no passes. The
TWO errors, however. We're enough to
take the heart out of any pitcher, and
tnat it what happened to Brett for
the next two men up after Dill ards rank
play lined the ball out for a single and
double aad the game was all over.
Aside from CGriey and Billiard, the
Saints played ball all the time. Brain
broke into the error column hut no dam
age resulted. The capita n is not entitled
to censure had he made several errors,
for it was he who won the game for
the Saints ard the others who gave it
away. Huggins J layed a. beautiful game
at snort. He was on top of the ball
in minute whenever it came within
hailing distance, and also connected
with the bail for pretty single.
~ BRAIN GETS HIS HOMER"
- Weimer pitched a good article of ball
for the Cowboys but he was not enti-
tied to win on the face of the returns,
and he can consider himself very
lucky young man in that a defeat is
not chaiked up against him today Cur
ley and Dilard We're very kind to him.
The visitors all played fast game In
the field. although Robinson made one
bad tumble.
The runs all came in two innings. The
Saints made theirs in the fourth. Dill
lard was fiIst up and hit to right field
for a bag, but was forced at second
10y Ryan Lippert reached first On Rob
inson's error. Ryan tried to make third
on the same play and was thrown out
by Brashear. Brain was next up and hit
the ball over Miller's head in left field
for four sacks. Lippert scoring ahead
of him The Saints came dangerously
near d score in the next inning, but
lest out On bad base running, coupled
with sharp fielding by the Cowboys.
The visitors were BANKED in every inn
ing but the sixth In that inning Wei
mer was first up and flew out to Holly
field. Hartman hit an easy one to Cur
ley and it looked like g. sure double but
Curley made a mess of the play and
abOtn men landed safe. Miller forced
Hartman at second. With two out
Brasher hit to Brain and the captain
made a perfect throw across the dia-
mOnd TO Dillard 1t would have been
an easy out bat Dillard dropped the ball.
He still had time to make the out as
the ball lay just at his feet and Brasil
ear was ten feet away, but, in addition
to not beng able to hold the ball. he
could not pick it up after ne had dropped
it. Ketchum scored on the error and
Miller went to second. O'Brien followed
with a clean nit to HOlly'S territory and
Robinson put the ball IN the same field
for two bags. By this time the visitors
were two runs to the good, but Curley
was not content with this and made
mess of Leewes easy bounder and Rob
inson went in with the fifth run. Lewee
tried TO steal second, but was thrown
out from Wilson to Huggins.
