 Cardinals 1. West Ends 3
 It was the determined fighting spirit of the Cardinals which gave the team it's victory over the West Ends. The young winners were obliged to come from behind to gain their victory over the veteran champions of last season and the misplays which they made during the game due to their enthusiasm were sufficient to upset any club but in their case it made them fight all the harder and caused them to make several sensational plays to offset the seven errors they made.
 Ernie Klopp hurled another won- derful game and had the West End crew completely der his control. The only times the losers reached him for runs were when his support faltercd. He used a change of pace which would have done credit to a much more experienced twirler.
 Although the Cards got one hit in each of the first three innings they were unable to score as George Campbell was equal to the task of bearing down and making his op- ponents pop out easily when men were on bases.
 The West Enders did the first scoring of the game in the fifth in- ,,;, f,cf two hits of the game. Red Camp | bell shot a hard single to center to open the frame and moved to second on Fitzpatrick's sacrifice. Cormier grounded to Suess who made an error, Red" taking third on the play. Cormier then stole second. Basil got a hit and Campbell scored, Cormier taking third. On a
 snap throw to third Fink heaved wildly and Cormier counted while Basil took second. The next two men went out on grounders how ever and Basil was left stranded. The Cards got one of these runs | back in their half of the frame. ] With one out Erickson singled and
 stole second. He moved to third on an infeld out and registered on 1 Daly's single.
 The winners did some hard hit | ting in the eighth but scored only
 one. run, enough to tie the score. Surko opened the inning by slam
 ming long drive to left field. It
 was easily good for home run but ! was held to double by ground rules which limited hits into the crowd. Osborne pushed him up a i base with sacrifice. Erickson 1 famed and Klopp walked and then Daly hammered drive over Tommy | Blanchard's head in left field which was also good for a homer but ! which was restricted to a double by ground rules. The blow brought Surko home and tied the count.
 In the first half of the ninth the West Enders went into the lead 2galn when they scored once.
 Tommy Blanchard hit a fly to short right which fell for a single. He was sarrif1ced to second by Smith wick. Al Blanchard grounded to Zembko who fumbled the ball. al lowing the batter to reach first, and Osborne let Zambkos late throw get away rom him which allowed Tommy Blanchard to score.
 The Cardinals were not to be discouraged by this turn of events however and went to work to tie the count again in their half of the | frame, Fink was walked to open the session and Suess moved him to second when he laid a bunt down the first base line. Al Blanchard f1elded the ball cleanly but no one covered the bag and the batter was safe Reed dumped another bunt down the first base line and Fink and Suess moved up a base while he was being tossed out at first. Surko slammed a hard drive to deep left but Tommy Blanchard got un- der it. Fink came home on the catch to tie the count and cause the game to go an extra session. The West Enders went out in order on three easy flies in their half of the inning and the Cards lost no time in winning the game in their half of the session.
 Erickson opened with a single, stole second, moved to third on an infield out and counted when Daily poked a single 10 right center. Despite the seven errors of the winners the team played a fine game in the field. A double play executed
