CHICAGO, IL; BROOKLYN, 8.
Chicago, May 6.-The Colonels out
played Brooklyn at every point to-day
winning the last game of the series,
hands-down. Terry was a trifle weak
at the start, but settled down and not
hit or run was made off him after
the second inning. The locals did but
little batting against Harper, but he
was wild and poorly supported. Ken
nedy relieved him in the fifth, for two
innings he was very effective, but was
batted for four singles, triple and a
four bagger in the seventh and eighth.
Flynn's catch of Anderson's terrific
line drive was the star play. Atten-

St. Louis, May 6.-The Phillies won
another closely contested game from
the Browns making three straight
Breitenstein pitched a magnificent
game, striking out four men. He was
batted freely but kept the hits we'll
scattered and received good support.
In the ninth inning, with several men
on bases and two outs, Meyers knock
ed what should have been a home-run
over the right field fence, but Thomp-
son reached over and caught it. This
fly should have won the rame for the
Browns. Attendance, 5000. Score:
