Opening Stanza-TigeEs Swamp
Cleveland IL to 6.

Chicago, May 3.-Just to show
that they know how to be fashion
able in baseball the St. Louis

man left of the inaugural doings on
the south side by licking the White
SoX yesterday IL to in the open
ing game Of the American league
season here.
There. was no doubt about the
licking nor any alibi for it. The
Burke tribe outplayed the Gleasons
at every angle and knocked our
first string pitcher. Claude Will
liams, off the mound in the second
inning, besides clouting our es-
teemed boss finisher. Dave Ban
forth, with considerable abandon.
Sixteen hits were compiled off a
trio of SoX pitchers and seven of
them were two base knocks, maxi
ing a total of % bases earned by
the Browns sticks. They were
aided by some of the poorest field
ing tie Gleasons have exhibited
since leaving Texas. Score:

Pittsburgh. Pa. May 3.-Cubs and
Pirates pried the lid OFF the 1919
BASEBALL season here and after quite
a struggle, Mitchell and his Chicago
champions went through victorious
4 to 2. Accidental hits, weird umplr-

a close combat, when it looked as>1r
the Cubs should have walked IN
without prespiring.
The first thing that interfered and
possibly made it easy for Chicago
was an accident to Erskine MayeR

started on the slab, opposed by
George Tyler. Hollocher, the second
batter of The game, smacked one
back on the bounce at Mayer, VINO

ball and tossed out Holly, Mr. Mayer
was incapacitated for further SER
