keister feliers choice. and McGann won
1t with long drive to the fence.
McGann was the hero of the game with
three safe drives in as many times at bat.
Z clever ruse and his winning drive.
For eight innings Lewis was quite az eff
fective as Powell. To that time each pitch
err had been hit safely but twice. Singularly
enough one man had all the hits made by
his team. Sullivan had the two hits made
off Powell. McGann the two of Lewis.
Billiards hit was like Tenney's error.
1t looked like / to shutout for st. Louis
when the home club went to bat for the
last time.
When the Boston team completed its last
inning II bat McGann took the ball. an old
ana very dark one. and secreted IL under
the 81. Louis bench. Not a Boston player
took the trouble to watch the bali, which
was most important in such a close game.
When Lewis got To the box the Boston men
looked all over and at each other for the
bail. 1t was gone. They were Obliged to

amid scene Of tremendous enthusiasm.
Beyond the truly wonderful pitching Of
Powell and Lewis there was no particular
feature TO the game, although the fielding
was sharp and clean. Stahl made couple
II nice catches I'm left. and Hamiljon'5
throw 10 third, catching Mctiann in tho
sixth Was quite ;;ice play. McGann was
stealing second. when sullivan threw high.
The bali went TO Hamilton. McGann kept
on for third. Hamilton has been rated
Il Weasish throwcr for many years. but he
displayed very gcod arm and made tho
assist in splendid fashion. Al that. Collins
did not touch McGann. though ma had
plenty of time. but Ems!e gave the out,
as most any umpire woald in the case.
Tenney's play IN the ninth. forcing DonO-
