ANOTHER DEFEAT.

1880
ANOTHER DEFEAT.
Yesterdays game in St. Louis was a rere-
tition of that of the day before. The States
men started off as if they were going to wipe
the Browns of the face Of the earth. but they
changed their minds ut once after the first in
ming. and then they proceeded to supply the
| Browns themselves with material for the earth
wiping process. The score was 10 s. and the
game was close. Even in the ninth inning,
when st. Louis had secured lead of two runs
and was neasurably confident of success, the
Statesmen were near to scoring that the
crowd. numbering ZOO. felt nervous. Had
| Hatfield. who led the batting with a two
| Dagger and n single. McCauley. who had
already made a hit. made safe drives, the game
might have been won. Neither did it,
Carsey and Sutcliffe and McGill and BOYLE
were In the points. Carsey was hit hard and
\ often, and the game was won on his delivery.
/ He gave seven men first on balls and was hit
safely twelve times. McGilIs work was some
| what better. though he gave two more men first
| and WAS quite OFF ut first
The accounts give Alvord the credit for the
best field play. which was better on the part of
| the Statesmen than on the side of the home
players. This man. it is said, covered an
enormous amount of ground. taking what
| seemed to be safe hits and fooling every one
with his long reaches.
THE Runs.
Washington made three runs in the first in
ming. Murphy went to first on balls and Dowd
flied out Lawrence Patrick went on to third when
Sutcliffe sacrificed. and after MCGUIRE had gone
to first on four balls Boyle tried to mil Murphy
with throw to third and the run WAS scored
on the wild toss. Then McCauley went down
the lane on balls and he and Mcclure scored
when Hatfield put safe one in center.
The Browns cut down the lead by one run in
the third. Comiskey waited for his base and
stole another. going home On q safe hit by
Boyle and wild pitch.
ST. LOUIS TO THE FRONT.
The fourth saw st. Louis forge to the front
with a lead of one run. making three in a
bunch. Mccarthy went to first on balls and
O'Neill hit for a base. Then next two men the
went out, Lyons fly TO McCauley and
Stivetts on strikes but the two men on bases
stole simultaneously and scored when Comis-
key hit to center for base. The captain tai
lied on Boyle's safe one and the side was re-
tired by McCarthys striking out
The Statesmen came near scoring in their
half and thus tieing the tally, Alvord hitting to
left for two bases, with no one out, and re-
manning there while three men were retired.
The lead of the Browns was increased by one
more in the sixth and again in the seventh. and
still one more in the eighth. that when
Washington went to the bat in the eighth it
had disadvantage Of four runs. II went at
the work of reducing this lead with vim.
McCauiey went down on balls and to third
when Hatfield hit to right for couple of bags.
Alvord was out on q fy when Foreman hit to
right for a base and two runs scored. Carsey's
grounder did not get by Lyons and Foreman
was lucky to reach second. Murphy's ball was
quite safe and Foreman went or to third. DOwd
tried to tally him and sent skinner to Fuller
who was uukiud enough to pick il up cleanly
and Murphy was forced at second. In the ninth
there was a Statesman on second again, with
| one man out. but no one could tally him and
| the game was lost.
Washington made seven hits and two errors
| and st. Louis twelve hits and four errors.
