The st. Louis Browns yesterday after
noon took the Senators into camp by
the score of to l. in a game which
was embarrassing at every stage.
The Senators never had a look-in
while the Brown Legs hit Lee at will and
chased runs across the plate until those
legs grew weary.
Fifteen times did they connect with
Lees delivery for safeties, seven of
which were good for two baggers, while
Wallace's hit to the clubhouse netted
three hassocks.
Petty Was Pelted.
Petty, twirler recently acquired by
the st. Louis management, undertook
to hold down the position in the center
OF the diamond for the Browns, and

sixth. however, after three Senators had
singled in succession. Jimmy McAleer,
the St. Louis manager, unceremoniously
yanked him out of the box and substi-

artist Despite the fact that the Sena-
tors filled the bags without any outs,
Jack went to his task cheerfully and re-
tired the side without a run. thanks to
Selbachs yellow exhibition of base
running, which resulted in his being
doubled up at second on a 1y to Wallace.
Kittredge, who leads the American
League catehers afield, was also on his

exception OF the sixth How the Browns
overlooked that particular session is a
;ubject over which many of the LAO
faithful are still bordering. For the
first four innings the teams were tied
with one run apiece. but even then it was
apparent that the game was as good as
lost 10 the home club, for, although the
OPPOSING team was able to score but one
lonely tally. the Browns hit Lee hard,
and il seemed only matter of time be-
fore their hits landed in unguarded ter

In the fifth an error by Mccormick and
two doubles netted the St Louisans a
trio OF tallies, and after that they plant
ed Lees shoots in safe territory almost
