afternoon, the Birmingham Barons took
the second straight game from the st.
Paul Saints by the score of IL to T.

to umpire batting and sideline horse
play. The Stewards hoped on Holt

that &c Saints went OF a rampage
Kick AS Harry Calls FIN
Hyman was shooting a tipping fast
ball across the corners of the pan
which the st. Paul batsmen went blind
on. His hooks were fooling the would
be hitters and much beefing was done
by st. Paul batters over Umpire Harry
Swacina's decisions on strikes and
balls.
Gray took the hill at the start of the
sixth and was greeted, presto, with a
fussilade of hits. Three men hit in
row and the next flew out; then came
two more safeties. Three runs were
counted in this inning by the Saints.
Two more came in the eighth on a
walk, grounder and three-bagger. In
the ninth the other two was obtained
by st. Paul largely on errors.
