1t was a hammer fest from begin
ming to end as well as a comedy of
errors and misplays, but it indicated
that the boys are doing enough work
to get sore. If any of them need
practice at hitting the ball, fielding
getting it.
The Saints started with two and it
looked like they were to even up for

which even j. kunkie could not
reach. Dawss struck out and Murray

of Bullock. Couchman two sacked and
another was hung up for the meek

had bad flights and Pierce hit at
three of Harris benders where they
were not.
The visitors added two in the ninth
with two down and two on Murray.
Couchman singled, but was killed at
the plate few minutes later after
Breen had singled and Kohl had dit

from the bottom of the deck and
Breen and Kohl registered. Aubrey
obligingly struck out and the car

For the locals it was a very pleas

enjoyed itself. We came back at the
Prides of Kelley with two in the first
when Miller tramped and went to
third on Thomason's sizzling single.
LAndreths existence was continued
by the kindness of Mr.. Breen and
Thomson and Miller were given re-

Kunlzle pounded one past second base.
Landreth had been eased out at third
Kahl walked but ran into Abbott's
drive and was out of it, Kerns living
at first as a result. Kohl and Aubrey
too Bullock's permit away from him
and the inning ended.

Kerns, officially opened the spring
season by a home run scoring Alb and
Bobby along with himself. Bull

ones. Six up and seven to go.
1t was not until the fourth that we
again began to smear glory upon our
