Despite the pitching of "Rube' Wadden.

'"Topsy" HartseIl, and the leather smuggling
OF Barry Mccormick and Catcher Kahoe OF
the tribe OF LOTUS, hailing from the village
on the shores OF Lake Michigan. ST. Louis
annexed the third game from Chicago yes
terday.
The locals found waddell for fair. and
that more runs were not made by the Dom
cyanites can be explained by the excellent
fielding OF the Remnants. Seven OF the Card
!nals died on bases. The eccentric south
paw stuck the game through. as did con-
sistent Eddie Murphy. who had the best OF
the argument and the aid Of Chicago errors.
Murphy pitched a good game. striking
out four men and giving only one free
pass to first while the ''Rube" allowed
three Of the Donovanites to walk.
Chicago Tries an Old Trick.
Chicago began Its winning streak Tues
day by time-honored trick. which. aided
by two st. Louis errors. was brought to
yuccessful issue. Yesterday the veteran
'Topsy" Hartsell. left fielder and star man
" the Chicago aggregation. realizing that
lis team was in desperate straits. tried to
null off exactly the same play. He led of
hrst. drew the fire from the pitcher, but
the effort OF Kahoe to reach home on the
stratagem was nipped in the bud by Wal
Inning. and thereafter the Windy Cityites
seemed to lose heart. for. with the excep-
lion of Barry McCormick's two-bagger in
The ninth. none OF the tattered and torn
Remnants reached the initial sack.
The extreme heat kept many away from
The game. and less than 1000 spectators
witnessed the second defeat Of Tom LOT

the teams facing them. In the second
Bobby Wallace made good for an error
which was charged to him In the first. by
making jump and a great one-hand stop

mick cut short the mad career OF the ball
after Murphy had laced 1t out, and Jack
Ryan expired on second on Murphy's out.
Hartsell was unable to hit safe IN the
third inning. Danny Green swung viciously
himself by making brilliant catch OF Dex-

an ovation. Dick Padden, in sliding to third

daring steal was successful. Dan McGann
pilfered the second bag. Patsy Donovan

the ball to kahoe and catching Padden at
the plate. With Mccain on third, Wallace

counted for naught.
Kruger was hit in the left elbow in the
