A meek and humble sort Of a person
named Baumgardner annihilated the
White Sox yesterday afternoon at Co
miskey park and brought grief to about
$4,000 enthusiastic fans. He was on the
slab for st. Louis and he knew a whole
lot about pitching. for he trimmed the
south siders as ntatly as Cy Young or
RUDE Waddell might have done 1t in
their palmy days.
Ed Walsh. the greatest OF all in the
minds of many. was on the mound for
Chicago, but this unknown ST. Louis
man paid no heed to him whatever.
The Sox gave Big Ed no help worth
speaking of, and in one round they ali
blew Big Ed" with them, and threw
the ball away. so the Browns could get
three runs. The final score was to l
in favor of the visitors. a tremendous
attack with the help of the militia pro-
curing lone tally for Callahan's tribe
in the seventh.

DIDN'T FARE
WE'LL AT S. BEND

The Hammond hve-men teams did
not fare as well in the state bowling
contests at South Bend yesterday as
they expected and on account of the
low scores 1t is not likely that they
will get into the prize money in the
five-men event
AS in the A. b. c. tournament held
in Chicago recently, the Hammond pin
men found new obstacles confronting
them and as a result their scores were
lower than usual. on account of the
alleys being built so close together
they had to throw a straight ball be-
ing unable to swing the mahogany to
one side spn account of the lack of
room.
The three teams found this one fault
of their downfall, but expect to RENE
dy this today when they are scheduled
to roll in the doubles and singles. Some
high scores are being hung up at the
state tournament and the local men
will have to do some high rolling to
get look in at the prize money

st. Louis, Mo. April l5.--After twelve
innings filed with the most glorious
uncertainties of the game, Chicago's
Cubs went down in defeat yesterday for
the third straight time and st. Louis
Cardinals sent home a crowd of over
% 900 persons supremely confident that
the team which disappointed them last
year has the 1912 pennant already
clinched. The score was to 4.
1t was game of magnificent de-
lenses. In a way It was a pitchers bat
tie between Mordecaf Brown. who
pitched his first game of the league
eason, and Sallee the elongated south
paw who so closely resembles The lit
tie girl with the curl right in the mid
die of her forehead" He was good to-
day and that means very, very good"
The Cubs hit him hard enough to win
in the face of anything but the defense
they were up against. Likewise
Brownie was hit with a steady persist
ence that would have terminated the
combat earlier but for the stubborn,
bulldog defense behind him.
