The Brewers. remembering their many
wrongs, fell upon Walter Slagle in the
seventh inning of yesterdays opener at
Lexington park and smote him for full
two doubles and a brace of dinkey bunts,
which. with a sacrifice and a pass, crys-
tallized into three runs. one more than
the Saints could muster in the final ac-
counting. In the afterpiece the Saints
took charge of the run department, and
after the first inning the Strawberries
buShwhackers were busy designing little
Zeros. Scores: st. Paul 2, Milwaukee 3;
st. Paul 6, Milwaukee ..
In comparison with Saturdays erup-
ton. yesterdays matinee was like unto
church picnic. where peace and good will
toward men had a double cinch on the en-
tire outfit. Billy Hart was umpire, and,
as usual. the contests Were bare of argu-
ment, also Manager Cantillon and Captain
Schaeffer We're in a box in the grand
stand. where profound silence on their
part was the logical and sensible thing
The starter rambled along serenely, with
the Saints picking up two runs and the
Brewers apparently hopelessly unable to
collect enough hits at one time to war
rant their being given serious conSidera-
ton. After their combined efforts had re-
suited in a half dozen cipheTs, and Slagle's
final appearance at home doomed rosy,
the wind shifted. A pair of doubles was
stolen base were worth two more. The
bunting tactics appeared to have the
Saints on the hip. and the best the in
field could do was to make good tryS,
which in the last analysis don't amount
to much. Between the pitchers matters
We're about even all the way through but
Slagle had all his bad luck at once.

The fans formed a human wall around
the diamond. making the playing field
about the size of the down town park

Tor two bases, which was just the right
thing for the champions. Corbett's pair
OF extra sackers were good for two bases

the fans had TO wax enthusiastic at every
opportunity in order to exist
Stones striking out was easily the fea-
ture of the first game, and each time he
retlred after Vacuous swipes he was

times at bat. He started. out with a strike

consecutive times. The first three innings
OF the first were soon over for the Saints

verge of scoring, but always falling lit
lie short.
With one gone in the fourth Flournoy
doubled to left and Kelley sacrificed his
personal feelings to the extent of getting
nit with the bali. Martin singled and
scored Flournoy, but two out cut short
further ta1ys: Jackson got to third on
hit, a steal and a passed ball in the
NTH, but didn't get any encouragement
to come home, and Kelley started the
sixth with a double to center. Hemphill
had rent his small clothes early in the
game game and his modesty impeded his
mess of Marcans roller and Kelly scored.
The joyful rooters had hardly taken
their seats when Bateman clouted high
