The esthetic looking Mr. Curtiss, so
Der of countenance and jerky as to de-
livery, held the nine ambitious Saints
down to one wee lonesome hit Yesterday
while the red-capped gentlemen laboring
in the field with Mr.. Curtiss collected an
even ten from Slagle. Mainly for this rea-
son the opening Of the series with the
Brewers resulted in a dismal shut-out
as well temporary impairment to the
professional standing of the Saints as a
team. Score, Milwaukee 8, st. Paul O.
The Brewers. headedby Hopmeister
Schaefer by virtue of their meritorious
performance yesterday, now have a pre-
carious tenure on the top OF the per-
centage column, and if they have many
more bottlers of the same dimensions as
Curtiss, their stay at the top will likely
be prolonged
Curtiss speaking in the vulgate was
certainly the whole thing yesterday after
noon from $3.50 to $40, and even when
he had passed from the sight of the fans
he was the subject of much comment
He is the first pitcher of the American
association to curtail to one hit this sea-
son, and he toyed with one or two slug
gers that are some shucks according to
batting figures.
There isn't anything graceful about Cur
tiss either on the slab or at bat, but he
possesses an efficaciouS if awkward de-
two-bagger and a single in woe begone
fashion. despite the ill-tined jestS of. GER

Wheeler was the only member of the
deposed Saints who got acquainted with
Curtiss, and his approach to familiarity
consisted of a bare nod in the second
inning, when he damned the ball into
right field for a single. On this occa-
sion Wheeler managed to Scamper around
20 third where he was impatiently wait
ing when the inning came to a close.
Pears Is Severe.
Mr.. Pears carried on awfulIy yesterday
and got himself talked about, although
his work was remarkable when his dark
past Is scrutinized Mr.. Pears was pro
Noked several times, and recalling the
horse play of the Kansas City fun makers,
set himself out to be real severe.
At one stage Of the game Hemphill
who was abiding in center field, thought
something funny occurred, and in com
pliance with his thought let go a merry,
though modest peal of laughter. The
microscopic ear of Mr.. Pears was slant
ing that way, and when the first ripple
crashed into the umpirieal tympanum he
slapped a due bill on the joyous Hemp
hill which will call for a fiVe-case note
when Hemphil attempts to jimmy some
ShelIelS from Cantillon.
About this time two malt-fed tosSers
repOsing on the bench saw fit TO discuss
certain questions Of judgment that had
arisen, and Mr.. Pears shooed them from
the grounds. They We're reluctant to de-
part, and Mr.. Pears became Homeric in
his wrath until his order was complied
with. The remainder of the good little
brewers VINO were allowed to stay the
grounds were so Inundated over the con-
duct of their eXpatriated fedmates that
they refused to divulge their names. for
the sake Of the families of the disgraced
ones. Strong men shuddered and women
cheWed gum when the impacable Mr.
Pears tore off his harsh decree of ban
ishment.
Slagle who was sent in to handle the
export trade, pitched good ball. but not
quite good enough to win with one hit
behind him. Five times did the Brew
ers slap the ball for doubles. and six
times they spun around in the ozone
without slapping anything to speak Of
and a solitary visitor was passed to first.
Suliivan's Wing Works.
Sullivan cut short three promising ca
reers on bases when Cantillon gave his
minions office to steal. Each attempt was
a CHASTITY fzzle and a lurid warming. but
the Brewers seemed TO be endowed with
some Missourian qualities that required
three demonstrations to convince them
that the Sullivan-Marca combination was
