ST. Louis. ...... 90 II .2oo
It was a case of "Syncopated Seymour"
in the first game and the Senators fell
down with a readiness that is not remark
able considering the prowess of the great
Albany "southpaw who toed the rubber
and shot the big benders and crosswise
slanters over the pie box for the visit
ors. A large crowd was present and
cheered the plays made by both teams
with a degree of appreciation which was
evidence that a good article of baseball
was being furnished for the usual price
of admission.
1t was a featureful game, in more re-
spects than one. There were five ex-
managers of the Washington club, four
umpires one ex-umpire, and the Louis
vile team present, and In the audience
there were many army and navy officers,
large bunch of women, a minister or
two, and one pretty girl who understood
the game-which made her all the more
pretty.
Jack Doyle, the ex-manager of the
the visitors and his exhibition of himself
was-wel, it was Doylesque and that
expresses it. He was "guyed" from
the start, and, instead of paying no at
tention to the snap of the crowd, he
| talked back, with the result that he was
handled without gloves The scene was
disgraceful Finally, in the sixth inning
when there seemed to be no prospect of
his quitting, Earl Wagner requested
him TO stop which warning was supple
mented by one from Umpire ODay, and
the fellow slowed his talk.
The re.urn of the team to this city was
greeted with enthusiasm, and the players
did their work with considerable gin
ger" Although ICY" Seymour was as
wild as a Spanish sharpshooter, he was
however, effective and his work partook
of the qualities of genius. He gave ten
bases on balls but struck out nine men.
He also made a home run. Dineen was
touched up for twelve hits.
In the seventh inning there was some
not time" work by the Senators. An
derson made great catch of Tiernan's 8
''sky-scraper, and Gettman got under
Davis's apparently safe one in good style,
winning golden opinions and lots of ap-
plause from the audience. He also piled
onto Warmers long drive in the fourth.
In the ninth, Davis's long fly was taken
possession of by the elongated Ander-
son handily.
When Tom Brown, who managed the
Senators early in the season made his an
pearance in the fifth inning to take the
place of Snyder, who was forced to take
a train for Boston. he was greeted with
continued cheering and other manifesto
tions of admiration from all over the
field He No Lot +La E
''auld lang syne' permeate his deci-
sions, and his work as umpire was of the
gilt-edged order
