Patrick J. Donovan's band Of cardinal
hosed warriors put the proper amount of
fire in their work yesterday. and. after

credit ny a score Of to ;.
For a time it looked as though the Car
dinals were going to romp away with the
game, but Clarence Currie. who was doing
the firing for the locals. forgot TO put the
proper amount Of steam back of his delivery
in the fourth period and he exploded with
crash. When Donovan finally gathered
Currie's remains together and had him
towed TO the bench the big white sign out
on the scoreboard notified the St Louis
fans that the explosion resulted in four
fatalities in the shape of as many runs for
the Phillies. Murphy. who succeeded Cur

MITCHELL'S WILDNESS COSTLY.
If Mitchell was pitching for an insane asy-

wild than h. was yesterday. At times he
