The St. Louis Republic., 1902-09-08
Powell Is Unable to Pitch a Win
ner and Locals Fall TO
Third Place.
DINEEN ALLOWS BUT FEW HITS.
Errors Rob Him of a Shut-Out-
Bunching of Two-Base Hits
by Visitors Bring in
Winning Runs.

Neither at home nor abroad have the
Browns been able to cope successfully with
the Boston Americans and balance struck
on the seasons series which closed yester-
day shows a big st. Louis deficit. With
Bill Dineen in the box the Plymouth Rocks
yesterday took the measure OF the Browns
once more by some brisk clouting OF Jack
Powelrs slants.
Boston lost the first game Of the series
TO Charley Shields. the youngest pitcher on
the St Louis team. but the manner in
which they bumped Frank Donahue and
PoweIl-McAleer's two star slabmen-cer-
tainly proves that they are not out OF the
race for the pennant. although tney are
generally picked 10 finish about third.
Five two-base hits into the crowd that
surrounded the field was the ammunition
with which the Bcstonians assaled Powell.
and every one OF the hits counted II was a
clean victory. for every run was earned,
on the other hand the Browns could not
connect with Dineen's curves. The big
fellow not only had speed and curves. but
he had splendid control that enabled him
TO lay the ball over the plate whenever he
desired. With proper support Dineen would
have pitched q shut-out game, but pair
of Boston errors in one inning enabled the
Browns TO tie the score for n short time
The score was TO T.
BIG CROWD AT THE CAME.
Another big Sunday crowd turned out to
see the Browns fortify themselves for the
hard week that is before them, but even
with their good record at home. in which
they won eleven games out of fourteen, the
team departed last night in third place once
more the Boston team swapping positions
with them. The crowd cut but little nsure
in the game. for all but one OF the long
drives would have gone safe anyway. The
visitors felded raggedly at times. but they
atoned for 1t by good hitting Tne Browns
put up an errorrless game, but coulu noN
hit. another proof that without stick work
good fielding only keeps down the score
The visitors played ball all the way
through. They were of to a good start.
scoring a run in the first inning Dougherty
opened with a hit into the crowd in left
field. He advanced to third on Stahls bunt
and strolled home when Parent poked a
hit &c right. Freeman sacrificed but Powell
retired Gleason on strikes and LAchance
expired on = tap to Wallace.
"Hobe" Ferris branched out as a slugger
yesterday and was directly responsible for
two Boston runs. He was the whole thing
in the second. when he tied four-base
tag To the ball and dropped II in the bleach
ers. After that Powell gained better con-
troll. and for three innings II looked ss If he
would win out
BROWNS TIE THE SCORE
In the fourth inning camesthe rDix-up. out
OF which the Browns extracted u rais Of
runs and tie score. An1arAon crew the
only pass issued by Dineen during the game

Wallace down the line and touched him
out near third. Mccormick rook second on
the play.
Friel took the sky route to Freeman. and
Anderson registered at the plate McCor-
mick made haste for third and came all
the way around. when Ferris relayei the
ball over Gleason's head. That inning saw
the start and finish of the Erowns From
that time until the ninth the McAlesrites
failed to get man to first IN the ninth,
after two funerals. Gleason's fu.nhle gave
Hemphill a life. but Heidrick fo:ced him
and ended the game.
The Bostonans used the sixth and sew
enth innings TO complete their slaughter of
Powell and they did it-double-barreled guns
in both rounds When they began 10 hit il
was plainly all of with Powell Freeman
tore on single for a slxth-inning in

retired on an easy tap to the pitcher The
slugger; Ferris. refused to be put away and
turned loose hit over Burkett's head into
the crowd. Freeman counted and when
crlger cleared the ropes in right field with
his swatistic effort. Dineen struck out.
ANOTHER PAIR OF DOUBLES.
Powell didn't want any more of Dough-
ertys game. so the curly-headed youth
was passed in the seventh. He was forced
by Stahl. but Parent lifted the ball over the
ropes in left. scoring Stahl Freeman swung
at two wide curves, but on his third at
tempt drove screaming liner to right. The
hit was SO fast that Hemphin had no
chance to reach ii, and once more he had
TO go under the ropes TO recover the ball
Parent scoring Freeman was left when
Gleason fouled to Anderson, and Lachance
expired on high rap to Burkett.
