AfiIIers win saturday.

The 1nternationaIs, strengthened by
some good American players, did very
well Saturday if they were beaten by
the Millers, 4 and 1. Few legitimate
runs were made, both Porter and Mesa
pitching good ball, especially the Mil
Ter twirler, who behaved like a little
man. AS is customary in games par
ticipated in by the Millers something
had to go wrong. Barker was re-
moved from the coaching line by UNI
pire Lortz for using bad languag
There were no fist fights however,
or riots or Standings or shooting af-
trays. The Millers won from the first
inning, and, in general, were in a good
humor
In the very first, pop! went three
TALES. Two Of them came in by wild
pitches-there were four of these IN
the first before Mesa found his arm
and the other run came in on Hills
two Dagger. In the seventh things
looked bright for the Internationals
with three men on bags and no down.
But some awful things happened in
the way of hard luck for the MeXicans
and good ball by the AIillers. Porter
stood up well. Along in the eighth
a run was made on an error by the
International catcher, whose bright
red socks must have had something
to do with his inability to stop the
ball at all.
The sad, sad story in detail runs

Just as easy as that with hardly an
effort was the army's victory over the
internationals. The 22d infantrymen
didn't seem to want to play, and the
game didn't amount to much. In the

scored on Scamerhorn's single, and an
other came in on an error by the
mattress man. In the fourth Erickson
doubled again, and let another slip in.
Then Pokrent. Fisher and GurtZ
leaned on the bat all in all to the tune
of four TALES. That took all the
starch out of the Mexican's uniforms
