An immense crowd. estimated at nearly
22.OO0, gathered at Sportsman's Park. st.
Louis, yesterday afternoon to witness the
game between the Senators and Browns. 1t
had been raining the best part of last week
and only few games had been played,
which whetted the appetite of the fans
and they turned toward the ball park in
droves. The tail-end Senators have always
made 1t interesting for the st. Louis team.
and this doubtless was an added incentive
for the big gathering. The contest went
fourteen innings and finally resulted In
favor of the Browns by the score of to D.,
a wild pitch by Patten with a runner on
third. letting In the necessary tally that
lost the game for the Senators.
Manager Patsy Donovan is a big favorite
In st. Louis and as the National League
team of that city is east all the admirers
OF that aggregation joined with the Amcri-
cans to help along the welcome extended
to the ex-MOund City, manager. Right roy
ally did Mr.. Donovan stand up to the plate.
receive his welcome in a becoming manner
and then quickly tear off single from the
collection of Sudhoff's speedy curves. At
two different times thereafter Donovan got
nice line drives into safe territory, making
three altogether, and led his team mates
at the bat.
Scranton Bill Coughlin got on a high
result he rode out of the game in quick
order. Umpire Connolly giving the popular
Senator a hard call down for disputing his
decision. Cassidy. who had been playing
short, was shifted over to third, and Charley
Moran. with his case of Charley horSe,'
was once more called back into the game,
going to short These kids worked to-
gether nicely and Coughlin wasn't missed.
Jacobsen. who was the Senators first pitch
err started off WELL and for five innings the
Browns were not able to get a man over
the plate. In the meantime the Senators
were doing things with Mr.. Sudhoff's de-
livery. One run was hung up in the second,
and In the fourth the crowd yelled 'mur-
der" when three more went the Washington
teams way. In the fifth an additional run
was challSed up by the Senators for good
luck, making the score 5 to o.
At this point the Senators shut off work
for the day in the run-scoring line. and the
brown legs went into the ditch to do or
die. One run was scored in the sixth, an
other in the seventh, two In the eighth and
the one tally necessary to tie up the score
in the ninth. While this run scoring was
goirg on the crowd was worked to a high
pitch and yelled all sorts of encourage
ment to the Brownies. The next four inn
ings went without tally on either side
Then came the luckless fourteenth. Wash
ington had gone out in order. but for the
Browns Hemphill had worked around to
third with two out and Padden to the bat
While trying to pass Dick to first, Patten
sent In high one that escaped kittredge's
nit, the ball rolled to the grand stand,
Hemphill raced home and the game was
over. 1t was a sensational ending and the
crowd went home in great good humor.

himself out with honors. But he was also
given excellent support, without which he
could never have won. Walsh was sent in
to oppose Townsend the same as on Thurs
day, and he, too was In much better shape

editorials and commentaries, all the Lon

hearty and ungrudging to Travis superb
play. Mingled with expressions Of keen
disappointment that America has succeeded
in wrestling the championship from England
and Scotland of the peculiarly national
game are questions whether the event will
not compel some revision of Anglo-Scottish
ideas regarding golf.
Admitting that Travis style of play Is
more scientific than British players are ac-
customed to see, his personality. his clubs
and his method are all carefully analysed
with view to finding If any lesson can be
learned. The wish is generally expressed
to see him pitted against the best profess

invading their ancient game, will say to
American domination. 'If we are not mis-
TAKEN" says the Morning Post, 1.-THE United
States will claim ere long to have some
thing to say as to the rules of the game.
There is talk already of innovation in
'stymie' playing. and Travis well-earned
success shows that younger generation
is knocking at the door,"

A notable golf triumph is the victory Of

amateur golf championship of Great
Britain which ended yesterday on the
Sandwich Club links How the defeat of
the great British players was accom-
plished, what mistake here or what error

closest detail. These technicalities may
be interesting after the fact. The great
point of interest, however. to every man

an American--and the mere fact that
Travis was born In Australia need not
detract from his Americanism, for he has
spent the greater part of his life here and
learned TO play golf in this country-has
