The PERIODICALS" celebrated their return
to ST. Louis yesterday by q well-earned
victory over Mr. Armour and his flock of
blue birds from Cleveland. The final
score stood to IN favor of st. Louis.
Louis.
Primarily the cause of the locals win
was their ability TO hit Wright whenever
hits meant runs Cleveland touched Sievers's
delivery for ten hits. but with men on
bases the Grand Trunk fireman would put
on a little extra steam. with the result
that six of Larry Lajoie's colaborers in the
field Of swatology were left to wilt their
collars and tan their compilations between
first and home
BROWNS CHILLY RECEPTION.
Although the hot sun had melted all the
thermometers about the baseball park, the
Browns received reception that would
have frosted a band of returning klondike
miners.
Owing to a delay In making train connec-
tons. the players of both teams arrived
nearly an hour late at the park. The
Browns filed in the Grand avenue gate near
the clubhouse and attracted about as nuch
attention as the park policemen. When the
Blues" led by Lajoie. filed their way down
the field the were warmly welcomed by
the fans. y
1t was a patched-up team that McAleer
presented to the fans, and Jimmy deserves
full credit for being able to win ..gainst
Cleveland, considering the crippled ccndi-
ton of his club.
Burkett was back In his old place at left
but Hemphil was moved over to center to
take Heidrick's place. Heidrick is out of the
game with broken tendon.
Just how Heidrick shattered the tendon
&C.
strained himself trying to separate himself
from bunch of long green" while pur-
chasing neckties. and others assert that the
big center suburbanite slipped on a banana
peel. Martin McAleer's new man went to
right, while Billy Friel moved into second
base. With this patched-up team and Dona.
hue's absence McAleer has his hands full
of troubles.
THE WRONG MR.. WRIGHT.
Eugene Clarence Wright. who twlrIed for
the Blues" proved to be the wrong Mr..
Wright" yesterday. Gene started to steer
the Blues to victory, but by the time the
elongated slabman reached the sixth inning
he ran into bunch of hits that smashed
his trolley and gave st. Louis the game.
Usually Clearance is the right Mr. Wright
IN the right place on the pitchers mound,
but yesterday the local batsmen used Mr.
Wright in way that threatened the d.
rectors Of his accident insurance company
with an attack OF heart failure.
In the third inning Martin slammed one
at Wright that nearly splintered his shins
but the big slabman managed to toss him
out. Scarcely had "Gene" finished rubbing
the bumps on his shins when Hill slammed
another at the human bull s-eye that nearly
tore off his left foot
In the seventh inning Wallace met one Of
Wright S wrong shoots and sent the sphere
of his bat like rifle shot Wright reached
up for it with his ungloved hand He got
his: With a resounding whack that could
be heard a block away the ball SLAPPED Mr.
Wright on the wrong wrist
With look of pain on his face Eugene
reached over the right mitt and after salts
lying himself that he was NOT shy his
wrong mitt he began pitching again. That
was about all the actual damage the locals
