New YORK, Oct l9-The warm sun had
agood effect on the attendance at yesterdays
game between the St Louis aud New York
teams, nearly 5000 persons being present.
King and Boyle and Keefe and Ewing were
in the points. King did fairly well, holding
the base hit column fairly down, but the hits
were well placed and productive of runs On
the other hand, the four hits made from
Keefe were scattered in as many different
innings. The New Yorks are surprising the
ST. Louis team by their fine base running,
while the St Louis boys, when they reach a
base, seemingly in fear Of Esing's throwing
