The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1904-08-08

The Senator'S defeated the Browns yes
terday afternoon at Sportsmau's Park by
the score of I to ..
Mr.. Petty pitched, and is now sorry for
it. What happened TO Petty would fur
uish an excellent plot for a lurid melo-
drama. Al unsuspecting, Petty went up
against the Senators. He imagined he had
an easy thing. So easy did Barney think
his task that he invited several intimate
friends out TO see him work.
Barney &C doubt realizes now that it
was a case OF misplaced confidence.
For four innings Barney Jared well. IN
the fifth something happened that caused
Mr.. Petty to blush.
In this period Barney tossed Up his San
tos-Dunont curve. lake Stahl intertered
with the progress OF the aerial curve. The
ball and it made a high dive over the left
field bleachers into Grand avenue.
STALLS TERRIFIC HIT.
stahls amash is perhaps the longest hit
ever made at Sportsman's Park. Jake's
feat was the cue for mis- college friends to
give to him the "rah," and they did. The
"rah' business must have encouraged
Jake, for he added two singles to his long
distance hit.
That hone-run rap cost Stahl PeIty's
friendship. Barney refuses TO recognize
Jake now. In fact, he says. he is sorry he
ever formed Jake's acquaintance, and
makes no bones about calling him a
'knocker.' That knock over the fence
vas certainly a knock to Petty.
In the ninth inning Huelsman also hurt
Pelty's feelings. The big fellow connected
with one of Barney's shoots. and knocked
a hole III the scree. in tho left feIu
bleacners- II he hau hit the bail a bit
harder he might have knocked it out iuto
the street ana saved the st. Louis club
the money needed 10 repair the damage.
AS usual, Wallace played a star game.
but then there isn't mucn news In this.
Bobby contracted the habit of being a
star long ago. and even aSsociating with
the Browns can't break hIm OF tne habit.
In the field he accepted the seven chances
sent his way IN mastery fashion.
WALLACE S SENSATIONAL PLAY.
His capture Of ONeill's grounder in the
fourth inning was the piece de resistance
of the game. Moran also played In excel
lent game for the locals. His one-hand
catch OF CaSsidys liner IN the ninth inn
ing was q nice play.
st. Louis got on in the lead. They scored
a run in the first inning But accidents
will happen, and they shouldn't be cen
sured too severely for scoring. In fact, tho
Browns are more to be laughed ut than
pitied.
While Mr.. Petty was being pelted about
the field in reckless manner the Browns
were slamming Wolfe's curves, but
Wolfe's smiles had the locals buffaloed
and they refused TO score. Mr. Hedges is
thinking Of getting out an Injunction
against the Wolfe smile next time he
pitches against the locals.
ST. Louis got ten hits off Wolfe, but
the smile dwarfed the bingle work down
to two TALES. ,l
st. Louis started early, but they failed
to finish and thus lost.
Mike kahoe's two-base hit and singles
by Moran and Wallace gave to the locals
q run In the first inning.
A base on balls to Huslsman, Donovan's
s'ngle, a wild pitch by Petty and Cassidy's
second inning.
and Jacob Stahl OF Champaign, Ill, intro
duced his trick hit. showing how to make
a ball hurdle the left-field bleachers with |
out iniuring any gentleman occupying a
seat therein.
There is a reward offered for the return
OF the ball knocked into the street 1t is
wanted as a souvenir. IF the ball Is not
broken in several places II will ne a strong
for the manufacturers. MIR. Stahfs
bunt netted ris team two runs. kahoe's
double and Hynes's triple netted st. Louis
a run in the fifth inning.
Huelsman's two-base hit ONellrs in
field tap. on which he was safe at first,
and singles by Donovan netted the visitors
three runs In the ninth.
The score:
