Kansas City Milwaukee, rain.
The MilIers huddled three singles and
a sacrifice into the fourth inning yestef-
day. and this little bunch blossomed ana
bore fruit to the extent of two runs,
which was sufficient to win and place the
half raterS in their rightful position,
where they have won and lost an equal
number of games. The game was played
for the benefit of the House of the Good
Shepherd, which received the receipts. The
NIillers got the game and the Saints got
nothing but sense of duty pretty well
done. Score, st. Paul 1, Minneapolis ).
1t was another fight between pitchers,
and with the exception of the fourth in
ming, it was an even affair Nine hlts
were registered off both but the Milers
became unanimous for moment in the
fourth and thereafter it was all Off The
Saints couldn't mobilize their wallops, and
whenever they had the faintest kind of
show to do something worth while, the
Nillers would work off fast double and
effectively discourage any attempts at
scoring.
The brawny Morgan did the throwing for
the Watkins horde and he did it well.
He had the Sanity sluggers hitting them
up in the air from one end OF the game
to the other. Five promising looking ones
fell into the capacious mftts of Maloney,
while McNichols in the center plot con-
sumed four and Coulter got two In the

Sible taste, simply furnishing opportunity
for spectacular displays on the part of
the outfield.
Ferguson pitched real natty ball, except
in the lamentable period referred to, and
in addition did ground and lofty fielding
stunts that were marvels of their kind.
In the ninth he lurched under Maloney's
sacrifice, pulled it down with one hand
and doubled Morgan at first and this was
but one of the nine chances he accepted
in the proper spirit. Both had good con-
troll, Morgan allowing three walks and
Ferguson one Kelley was passed in the
second and scored, and Oyler was accord
ed the same privilege in the third and
also rang up a run Everybody clouted
the ball, each pitcher having but single
strike out.

sacrifice are run.
Oyler did some fast travelling for the
Millers and twice backed up Greminger
