ORIOLES ARE HELD
 ID THREE BINGLES
St. Paul Shuts Out Baltimore
 6 to Q
By The A Associated Press.


 Baltimore, Md, Oct. 4.-St. Paul, American Associations champions and the Baltimore Orioles, pehnant winners in the International league, will enter the third game of the little world series" today, with the count tied at one all.
 After losing the first game to the Orioles Thursday in the ninth inning, the Saints coming back yesterday like a whirlwind and blanked the Baltimoreans, 60. Howard Mer- ritt, on the mound for St. Paul, pitched consistent ball, and although he had only five strikeouts to his credit, let the birds down with but three safeties.
 Merritt's victory yesterday was in the nature of revenge, for it was Howard who was in the box when Baltimore defeated St. Paul in the deciding game of the series of 1922. | This year it was a different story, however, for Merritt was nothing less than invincble.
 McCarty, Baltimore catcher, will probably be out for the rest of the series, it was said last night, as the result of injuries received yesterday. The little finger and part of his right hand were split to the bone by a wicked fn,il fin from MOrSo'e hat
 Manager Dunn of the Orioles is expected to choose either Cliff Jack son of Bill Henderson as fodays twirler. Bill Faeth will probably be Nick Aliens selection as Sl. Paul moundsman.

This Dean is the same youngster
who was first tried out by Louisville
and then sent to Daytona, Fla. in
no-run-no-h game against Orlando.
That inspired the Louisville manage
ment to call him home to try to pitch
the Colonies into the lead. He did
his share, and then the scouts began
to look him over.
Louisville wanted $4,000 for him at
Chicago 'nst December Then the
American Association accepted the
modified draft plan and the price of
Dean went down. Louisville's owner
figured the draft peeled about $4,000
off the price, and when it was re-
ported that the Giants had taken him
at $4,000 Il was generally accepted
that LouisvMe had gotten a good
price under the circumstances and
that New York had acquired a good
pitcher.
When you consider that in 1929
Dean was pitching in the Florida
for the National League champions.
it may still be asserted that a good
ball player can go to the top, no mat
ter in what league he begins. Also il
may be asserted that minor club
can still make money by developing
good players. Fifty thousand for a
