Yesteraay's Games.
To-Day's Schedule.

With Jack Powell on the slab and pitch
ing ia his best form, yesterdays game at
League Park was ''cinched" at the start.
and. when Il was found that Pittinger
could not send anything up to the plate
which the tribe Of Donovan could not solve.
the game resolved itself into q batting
matinee In which the heavy hitters OF the
st. Louis club strove to Guido each other
with the stick. Donovan led with clean
score He was at bat three times, made
two singiesl . double and scored two runs.
NcGann also made two singles and q
double. but he 10 charged with five times at
bat. ~ he was not fortunate enough to
catch anything In the ribs or draw four
vide ones. Kruger lines up with his man
agef By having . percentage OF LOO. He
made two hits in his two times up. in addi-
ton to getting base on balls and making
\ timely sAcrince. One OF Kruger's singles
WAS made when the bases were full.

Though many Of the Donovanites made
very wei with the stick. their efforts were
not appreciated. as the game had been won
when they started In. Jesse Burkett drove
the ball to the left Held bleachers in the
second inning and made the circuit on the
hit Any one who thinks Burllett is slow
on his feet should watch him sprint on
rood drive.
with an the heavy hitting Jack Powell
deserves credit for the victory. Powell
pitched IN that form which has led saany
fans to believe he has no superior in the
art when In form. He let Boston down
with four hits and the way they were kept
scattered b shown In the figures made by
Jimmy 6lagie The little right fielder made
three Of the four bingles and he made them
cieanly.
Powell on his individual work should
have shut out the Beaneaters without even
the semblance OF a chance to score. Not a
visitor passed second base up to the s,inth
inning. Then Dineen was sent up to bat
for Pfttinger and he hit a measly erounder
to Wallace. Bobby allowed It to get away
from him and Dineen camped on the initial
rack. Jimmy elagle stepped up and made
his third bingle. putting Dineen on
third. where he remained on Murphy's hit

Gene Demont made the same kind of a
force Murphy. while >Dineen scored. II it

Mating Order Was Changed.
Umpire Billy SNash. who has complained
os sickness since coming to st. Louis. was
unable to onsc,ate yesterday. Kid"
Nichols gave decisions on the bags, while
! echr3ver called balls, strikes and plate
plays. Both men were euinently satisfac-
tory.
Manager Donovan changed his batting or
der with apparent good Judgment yester-
day. just how the new order will work
cannot be told IN such a game; az played
yesterday. Padden following Burkett APP
pears TO be the proper move.
r st. Louis scored one run in the second
inning on pass to Donovan. a single by
Wallace. q sacrifice by Kruger and foul
ny-out BY Nichols. \
Burkett's homer gave the single tally In
the third. although McGann and Donovan
each followed with q single.
In the NTH Padden's good eye gave him a
paO and he scored 1t once on McGann's
double. A single BY Donovan sent Mccain
over the pan. Wallace scored, after forcing
Donovan. on singles by Kruger and Nichols.
These three runs, added to the two already
In, assured victory, and the fans were mer-
ciful to eelee's hands. But the Donovanites
were mot.
Mccain singled ana Donovan doubled in
the seventh. Wallace drew q pass and the
haSoa were nlled. Pinch Hitter Kruger
damned the bail into right field for sin
gle. while Mccain and Donovan scored.
