Johnson was assaulted viciously in'
the first inning, but he managed to
escape harm largely because Duffy
Lewis has a fine arm. Dykes opened
with a clean hit and died stealing.
Witt followed with another and went
up when ORourke fumbled Tillie

hammered a single to left and Lewis
threw out Witt at the plate.
Johnson was in trouble thereafter,
but he always rose to the occasion
and SO did his supporters. In the
third, with two down, Witt tripled to
LEFT center. Then Walter steamed UP
and famed Tillie Walker.

GREAT FIELDING GAME.
1t was a great fielding game, with
the AS figuring prominently. Joe
q. Dugan had a couple of stops and
pegs that were very brilliant,
especially that in the sixth of Harris.
His peg was wild and SO BRAZIL had
to help in making a putout with a
great catch.
Duffy Lewis peesed to the plate
and got Witt in the hrst inning and
later raced to the pavilion and
nauled down Dykes foul ball Lewis
also drove in two OF his teams three
iuns, which gave him a high average
for the afternoon.
Val Picinich caught a hne game
for Johnson. The little backstop is
IA much improved catcher since last
season and was loudly appiauded
when he picked up Dugan's swinging
bunt in the sixth and got his man.
Much of Johnson's success was due
to Picinich, but the big fellow had
plenty of stun, as is evidenced by his
six strikeouts. He famed Tillie

on third. He got Galloway and Dykes
In the ffth. He whitfield witt with the

he got BRAZIL and Galloway, the

The st. Louis Cardinals have yet to

plenty of pep this spring. No sooner
does an umpire get into a fuss with
one OF the Griffs than they roar at
him like hungry lions. Looks like a
big year.
