teristic wind-up of the disastrous western tour,
st. Louis taking the last game OF the series by
the score Of IL to 5. Washington was IN 1t Tor
Just little while, keeping the Browns COM
pany for four innings. That was half Of the
game rs it proved. for the contest had to be
called at the end Of the eighth on account OF
darkness Won der Ahe's new battery that he
had Just secured from Minneapolis, hettser
and Darling did splendid work and proved too
much for the Statesmen IN the batting box
Eiteljorg and Mcclure did just well enough to
lose the game with the aid of the errors Of
Hstisld snd Alvord. both of whom were de-
cidedly of in their field play. Between them
they managed to make i've errors out OF twelve
chances
ERRORS HELPED.
No runs were scored il the first inning, but
in the second the Browns made two and the
Senators one. Comiskey dropped safe one
In center which HATFIELD fumbled SO long that
the captain went on to second on the hit He
had no difficulty in scoring when Boyle hit It
out for three bases between Sutcliffe and Fore
man. Darling flied to Foreman and Boyle
scored on the sacrifice. For Washington, after
McG uire was out, McCauley and Hatfield went to
bases Oh balls and the former scored on Al
words safe hit Hatfield came to grief when
the ball was sent to the plate after Foreman
had hit TO Lyons.
ST Louis went down in order in the second,
and the S.sstOrs proceeded to tie the score by
making run. Murphy was out when Dowd
hit 10 left for two bases and be went on to
third on SATELLITES sacrifice and Tailed when
Mcclure lined out a safe one.
The Browns gave waning OF what the end
would be in the fifth, when three ruRs were
scored on a base on balls to Darling. a sacrifice,
Hoy single, bases on balls to Fuller and Nc
Carthy and hot single by Lyons. neat
double play closed the inning, Murphy taking
Stiyetts fly and returning it to second in time
to catch Mccarthy.
THE SIXTH SETTLED THE BUSINESS.
Beyond all doubt the battery was largely re-
sponsible for the scoring by St. Louis of four
runs. Hatfield helped things along by fumb-
ling Comiskeys grounder and the next two
men flied to Murphy. Rettgers was hit BY
pitched ball and Comiskey scored on Hoy's
safe hit The alinneaools pitcher did the same
when Fuller duplicated Hoy's hit Mcclure
tried to catch ii ~ na9t ing OF third and threw
wild, both Hoy and Fuller tallying the third and
fourth runs of the inning. This cleared the
bases and il was well, for Mccarthy hit for
base and AlvOrd made an error on Lyons
bounding hit. He made connections with Co
misksys ball, however, and the inning was
ended
Washington made an effort to overtake the
far-leadIng Browns in the latter half of the
sixth, but could only make two runs, and two
were not enough by long odds. Mcclure went
to first, and after McCauley had struck out and
Hatfield had flied Alvord also went down on
four balls, and both men Tailed when Boyle,
who was covering short, allowed a singing
grOunder by For man TO roll between his legs.
The Statesmen took advantage Of the failure OF
the Browns to score in the seventh BY making
one more run. Boyle made a couple more
errors, and these, together with McCauleys
base on balls and Hatheld's being hit by the
pitcher, aided in forcing man to the plate.
lie St. Louis men advanced the score couple
more in the eighth, when Lyons hit for a base,
Alvord made two rank errors, and sacrifices
were made by McCarty and Stivetts.
Washington made hits and errors and st.
