St. Louis. ....., % s. .3o3
For the third time this week the Sena-
tors went down before the Colts yes
terday at National Park The defeat Of
the home team was due to Thornton's ef-
fective pitching, Evans's wildness and a
costly error by Wagner at critical point
in the third inning.
Evans went in to pitch for the locals
and started off in the first inning in good
style. but in the second he developed
1 signs of wildness. sending two men to
/ bases on balls after two were out. He
+ settled down, though and pulled himself
out Of a hole by striking out Chance. In
the third inning came the climax of Roy's
wildness. He sent Ryan and Everett, the
/ first men up, to first on balls and Thorn
ton got in a single. filling the bases
Dahlen sent an easy one TO Wagner who
+ threw wild 10 Mcguire, allowing Ryan
/ to score. Mccormick then sent pretty
/ single into left garden and two more runs
( came in. After Isbell had sacrificed, Ev-
I ans gave Connor a pass TO first on balls
. Capt. Mcclure then sent Evans to the
bench and put Cy Swain in the box. With
the bases filled and only one man out, the
I tail sycamore Of the Ohio went to the
( rubber. Cy sized up the situation and
/ then shot the ball over the plate with a
] grim determination that not another run
should be scored, and he was successful
/ for he struck out Donahue and Chance
went out on an infeld hit. For the re-
manning six innings Swain was an enig-
/ ma to the Colts and only two hits were
/ secured off his delivery
Up to the seventh inning Thornton was
invincible, and the Senators went out in
| one, two, three order without a single
| hit. Selbach broke the spell in this in
ming by a beautiful bunt, the ball drop
ping about two feet in front of the home
/ plate. Anderson and Rietz then followed
with clean singles and the first run for
the home team was scored. In the eighth
/ Donovan sent the sphere to the fence for
/ three sacks and came home on Swain s
/ long fly 10 Isbell.
Donovan, who played in pIase Of Wag-
! ner in center field. accepted the three
chances offered him in splendid style, and
viii be fixture there until Farrell gets
/ back into the game.
The only feature of the game was a
bungling attempt by the visitors to work
in an old ball in the second inning, but
the trick was quickly noted by Selbach,
who promptly called them down When
/ Tom Burns next attempts TO play any
such trick, he should not do it in such
a bungling manner. For the attempted
dirty work of yesterday. which has no
place in a legitimate game Of ball, the
visitors were roundly Kissed and jeered
| by the spectators.
