ed as IL the game might be called

ton in the $3.50 guarantee so the
Greyhounds. when thcy found that
a special train could not be run
this year, decided that the game
might as well be cancelled. But
Robstown. rather than not have the
game played at all, decided TO meet
the guarantee.

San Benito next season on the same
basis.

Benito has won two games and tied
one.

Macks Flash Their Pow er
To Beat Cards in Opener

st. Louis Cardinals 6 to 2 yester-
day in the opening game Of the
annual fall diamond classic. One
game, important at the start Of
a short seven game clash, still does
not necessarily mean ultimate VIC
tory.
Rather 4 was the way the cham
pions of the baseball world, in
solent In their confidence, rose I'D
in their might to come from behind
and administer a typical Athletic
thrashing to a team keyed TO the
point OF desperation in its quest Of
victory. II was the old, old story Of
Athletic power, administered with
crushing effect. steam-rollering the
enemy into broken subsection Just
when hope was beginning TO sprout
again.
Last fall the Athletics leaped up
on these same Cardinals in the
World Series, blasting them apart
at just exactly the psychological
moments, to win their second
straight world triumph for Connie
Mack. They entered the first game
OF the 1891 pageant q natural ia
vorite at 8 TO 5. And today, facing
the second and last game here
until three matches have been
played in Philadelphia next Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, they
stand out a 4 TO l choice to gather
in their third straight series con-
quest, something never before
achieved in the history Of baseball.
A crowd of $3.50 paid Sl65. l6l
yesterday to see the Athletics, with
absolute cas- and nonchalance,
smother a situation that had dra-
matte possibilities as great as any
opening contest in the history Of
these time honored duels Of the
American and National league
champions.

his dazzling curve ball. And in the
meantime the Cardinals, swinging
from the hip in desperation, climb
