The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-06-30

After a game that resemhled the variety
half holiday on Saturday afternoons, the
New Yorks defeated the Browns yesterday
by a score of 20 ,.
Accounts OF what a cinch the Browns are
getting to be must have been wired ahead
to the Griffith aggregation. for they waGHd
:nto the locals in the first inning and made
enough runs to settle matters.
When the New York team appeared on
the field they seemed much detected by
their poor showing. Before the end of the
frs: inning they became chesty and Clark
Griffith was giving himself a bunch that he
still had a chance to land the calico in New
York.
As the game proceeded and the St. Louis
teams chances to win vanished as rapidly
as a scent piece of ice in hot weather.
Griffith offered to bet wad of money,
mostly Confederate, that his team would
finish in front of St. Louis in the pennant
race.
Had the first inning been left out, the
Browns might have won.
Unfortunately for the locals. Griffith in
sisted that the first inning count. In this
inning the New York team slammed in fcu'
runs. just one more tally than the locals
made throughout the game.
GAME WAS FEATURELEsS.
The game was a featurelesS affair. ami
had the spectators been deprived of tho
privilege Of roasting the umpire they would
have left the park utterly disguised.
Redy and CHESHIRE were the pitching Sc
lections. and. although the lcca! box work
er had the better of the argument in the
matter of base hits the game was regis
tered against him.
The game was opened under rather auspt-
cious circumstances. In the first inning the
New Yorks pounded Reidy's foaters for
four runs. st. Louis in their half OF tire
first period looked like they were going to
bring flowers to Chesbro's funeral.
The happy one began by smiling long
and deep smile that instantly rubbed out
when Jesse Burkett reached into the ribs
Of one of his shoots and sent it sailing to-
ward the clubhouse for three bases. Held
rick followed Burkett with a stylish PUNK
TO right for one base, but Hemphili. Ander-
son and Wallace sent good cheer to the
New York bench by pouring up easy flies.
CATCHER SUGDEN HURT.
In the seventh inning joe SuGden had the
thumb of his right hand dslocated and
badly cut from a foul tip off Jimmy Will
liamss bat. Doctor Max c. Starkloff. who
was among the spectators, dressed the in
iured thumb and stated that it will prob
ably keep the veteran catcher out of the
fray for several days
The only fielding play of the day that was
ut all out 'of the ordinary was nice one
hand stop by Barry Mccormick in the first
inning. Williams savasely connected with
I Reidy ''dink'' and the drive looked gooi
for two bases, but Mccormick. by eX-
rellent effort. scooped the ball in with one
hand in time to throw Williams out
