PUNS HAVE VERY
NARROW ESCAPE

The baseball games yesterday fur
nished two surprises. In the fist con-
test the Kams defeated the heretofore
invincible st. Louis Alumni, and in
the second contest match the Diamond
Heads, which have been considered to
be much the weakest team in the
league, made the Puns stretch to the
limit in order to win out. The first
game was not the same brand of ball
which the teams have been putting up
of late, but was medley of errors
in which both teams shared. The Puns
happened to be q little luckier than
the Saints and they managed to win
out. The first four innings Of this
game saw two pitchers knocked out of
the box, though IL they had been given
proper support not run would have
been scored. After this the boys got
down TO work and put up a pretty fair
article of ball.
The Puns had the hard luck which
has become tradition on this team.
Before the game commenced Captain
Eddie Desha hurt his knee and had
to give up the idea of playing Then
later on Hannah, who had been putting
up a fine game, was hit on the elbow
by a pitched ball, and he, too, was
TO retire.

st. Louis won the toss and took the
field. Ins the first the Rams were I'M
able to score, though En- Sue gave |
them a good chance by dropping Lem
,n's grounder. The Saints started off |
in their old style of Vast year. En-
Sue was the first man up and beat cut
l bunt, stole second and then spoiled
t all by trying to get home on high
throw to first. Williams scored Evers
and Busnell with hit to right, and
Gleason brought him home by driving
/ hot one through short.
The Saints did not score again till +
he third, when Lota came in to take
Saanoi's place in the box. He was
hardly a success, as he was wild as
. hawk, and between this and the
rrors which his fieders made, four
more runs resulted.
Then the score stood 10 against the
lams and they began to start some
hing. The Saints began to make errors
nd they were wonders at 1t after they
tarted. Four runs was the total of the
Iams gain for the fourth inning. The
fifth saw a change of batteries. Bus
ell replaced Burns in the box and
oe Fernandez went out to left field.
