Sox failed to come through. The new
1918 model Browns, under Fielder
Jones, pushed the steam roller over
four SOX pitchers. f1attened them out
for II hits, and won, q to 1. In token
of his pleasure, Owner Phil Ball of the
Browns slipped so fish to each member
of his outfit and did not specify what
they should purchase.
More than $4,000 loyal Sox rooters
assembled for the doings and went
away depressed in spirit. The cham
pions were not in the running at any
stage of the proceedings. Cicotte, Dan
forth, Faber and Russell were ineffec-
tive, The victOrs registered one or
more swats in every round.

Slocum, accompanied by their military
band, led a serpentine parade around
the field, in which the members of
both teams joined, coming to a halt
finally in the center Of the field, where
they played the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner."

bardment of Grover Cleveland Alexan-
der shattered the defense Of the Cubs
and the Cardinals won the opening
game of the National league season, 4
to 2, before some $500 fans. Up to
the ninth the inaugural resembled
Uut, but at the fag end of the fight
the stout-hearted Chicagoans managed
to push over two runs and make the
score look preSentable.
