The Washington and ST. Louis teams
played two games yesterday afternoon in
the latter city, the Browns winning the first
by the score of to 4, but strange to say
the Senators walked away with the second,
the figures being 4 to ..
The st. Louis papers have been calling
the Senators hard names all summer and
Capt Deiehanty and his comrades doubt
less decided to take crimp in the Browns
championship aspirations by defeating
them yesterday. When last in ST. Louis

that city, but I'll warrant We will do our

The First Game.
The first game was listless sort of af-
fair. the Washington players doubtless
suffering from their long ride and loafing
on the cars, nearly twenty-four hours be-
ing consumed in the journey from Detroit
to st. Louis Orth was on the rubber for
Washington, and the Virginia boy depended
a great deal on his slow curve to win out
The Browns got their eyes on the ball
early, but it was toward the close that
they commenced to hit for keeps. Kahoe
got two singles and a double HemphilI
three singles and Bobby" Wallace two
triples. Back of Orth the Senators played
without much life. and Ely had two errors
charged against him. Clarke and Orth also
slipped up on easy plays.

apart when runners Were on the bases.
Ortiz got double and a single and Dele

Albert Edward not one of the Senators
secured more than single hit.

score, but the Senators again took the lead
in the fifth, making one run. In the same
inning the ST. Louis lads also made one
run, again tying the score, and from then
on the Senators were in the rear. In the
seventh the Browns made four runs, the
result of several singles and errors by Ely
and Clarke. both being wild throws.
In the eighth the McAleer outfit chased
three more runs over the plate, making
nine in all, and then quit for the day. The
Senators managed to score twice in the
ninth inning, making four TALES in all.
Following is the score:
