inning. however, that the St. Louis team pulled
away from the tail enders and won. and then
there was a margin. The batteries were Fore
man and Mcclure and ERston and Boyle. Both
teams played magniicentiy in the field. the
Senators doing the better, playing without an
error, while the only mispiay Of the game was
poor throw by Lyons to first in the opening
