the spectators at the washington-St. Louis
game yesterday settled themselves hack In
their seats prepared to witness enjoyable
walkover by the local club. But they were
wofully mistaken. The St. Louis brownies
went ut the Washingtons with a determination
that could not be withstood, and at the end of

ST. Louis. The making Of the four big runs in
the first inning may have acted an imper-
ceptible handicap, giving the locals an undue
amount Of confidence, but this confidence
should not have materialized. a. the St. Louis
