ST LOUIS. Mo, June 16,-Charley Hick-
man broke into the first game between
Washington aid St Louis this afternoon
with home run in the tenth inning, and
gave the Nationals the opportunity to win
out to 3. Although the game was one
os the longest of the season, it was one
that interesting from the sixth inning
on, owing to the hard struggle being made
by both clubs with the score tied. Then
the end came in a hurry, it Wash
iugtOn's game after Hickman caught one of
Glade's curves fairly and sailed it up into
the left field bleachers. Altizers triple
and the run which followed it was but
clrchng matters, the way Charley Smith
was pitching for the Nationals 1t was a
much mixed up game for both teams, and
1t was Washingtons superior ability to
punish the ball that landed that team in
front Willie Sudhof started out to put a
kink In the Browns, but William was easy
fo- his former team mates, and Manager
Stahl wisely concluded to shelve him in
the third inning after Hemphln had slam
med one on the nose, this being the third
hit of the Inning. Six O'clock Smith was
the man sent to the rescue and the new
member of the National pitching staff did
such brilliant work that ST. Louis did not
despite the fact that Tom Jones
reached third with no one out in the ninth
inning. For this brilliant piece of work
Smith was given ovation by the St
Louis fans.

Nordyke to bat for Smith, but the change
failed to work and Glade was forced to
finish out. Ii was off him that the Nationals
hammered in the two winning runs.
Stahl Sent to the Bench
There were other changes besides those
of the pitchers and Manager Stahl was one
of those who was forced to betake himself
out of the game at the order of Umpire
Sheridan. Stahl did not like strike Sheri-
dan called on him in the seventh inning
and said So with the result of being order
ed to get out OF the game Stanley took his
place at bat and it was he who made the
sacrifice in the seventh with which Stahl is
credited under the rules Stanley afterward
went TO right field and Hickman took
Stahls place at first. Batting Nordyke
and O'Connor and putting In Glade to pitch
also gave St. Louis three extra men during
the game.
