CORRESPONDENCE.
A streak of poor playing and lump of poor
umpiring prevented the Westinghouse. Louis
game yesterday from being played to a conclu-
sion that would have been gratifying to the
1000 spectators who were present. The poor
playing and the bad umpiring helped the Browns
along 10 the extent Of tieing the score, and
the game went down as tie, and the work was
all for naught. The poor playing might have
been condoned, but the bad umpiring never
can 1t was a case Of blindness and rattle on
the part Of Jim Davis. who officiated. but the
presence in the scorers box Of the magnates OF
the game. who had just concluded their session
up town, might have had the effect of making
him nervous.
THE sCoPH
was to 2 Carsey and Sutclide and Stivetts
and Boyle were in the points. Csrsey pitched
splendidly throughout the game, or as much OF
it as Jim Davis would let him play. and he
seemed TO have overcome his cid difficulty OF
weakening after the sixth or seventh inning.

the third and fourth he seemed to suit the
Statesmen exactly and the. began &c Iii. him
The field work was wopde, fully sharp for the
condition of the grounGs. whick was soft and
uncertain. The game was full ct brilliant plays,
and was very exciting Throughout. Alyord did
the best intieid work. taking eight of his nine
chances. Hatheil managed to make two errors
on easy balls that lie should have taken. The
first one was not disastrous, but the last one
was factor in giving the visitors their hrst
run.
poor START.
The game was started as though St. Louis
would have a walkover through the poor work
of Carsey. Hatfield fumbled Hoy's grounder
and the next two men were hit, filing the bases.
No one out and the air was very blue.
O'Nein sent out to left what looked to be a safe
liner, bat Lawrence Patrick Murphy made a
tremendous effort and seooped it in. throwing
it home in time to shut Of Hoy, who had waited
until the ball was eanght Sutcliffe ran him
down and then threw to second very nearly in

thinking the ball WIS safe. 1t Was n close call
for triple play. Then Lyons forced Mccarthy
at second.
