Slaughter in Picture

The Bees turned the tables in the nightcap, scoring three runs in a ninthéinning rally to triumph, 5-4. The St. Louis Cardinals was the only {ear to take both ends of a double-header in beating. fe Brooklyn Dodgers, A three-run spurt in the sixth inning paved the way for the first victory, 4-1, In the nightcap they scored another victory through a single inning rally, They came through with four markers in the fourth -inning to win, 8-4. Joe Slaughter homered and chased in three men.

The Cincinnati Reds and the The Rodger Cup, for which the match was played, was only recently presented by Mr. H. D. Rodger to settle the controversy which arose from Mr. J. A. Hayes' (who umpired the match) remark that the four players who represented the International side yesterday might beat the strongest Anglo-American team.

It is rather difficult to say which player was the best in the match as every player was in the height of form and each man, some time or other, during the match, displayed flashes of brilliancy. It must be said, however, that the losers were playing with better understanding and what goells they scored were the result of good combination. The winners, who did not combine as well as their less fortunate opponents, were hitting accurately and with tremendous distance which more than balanced their deficiency.

Of particular note was the hitting of Clu Rivau, who captained the team, and Krikoriantz who saved the side from several tight holes. Riggio; at one, was in grand form and scored beautifully twice when left alone but was too closely watched to do serious damage. Heyn, the German representative of the team, played a safe game at back and cleared several of the determined Anglo-American attacks. W. H. Allman again gave a good account of himself at one and was a "Deadeye Dick," scoring five goals for his side.
