The st. Louis Browns WOunu up 'heii
visit Yesterday afternoon With defeat
the Washingtons winning out by the close
score of to 1, making the series stand
even with two victories apiece. Manager
CantilIon rearranged his team in the field,
sending Anderson to first and Mil into left
field. and the change apparently gave the
boys confidence.
Case Patten did the pitching for the Ma
tionals and as usual he was very eHectlVe
against the Brownies. although they Sc
cured nine hits. These bingles were
stretched out through e ght innings and the
visitors seemed unable to connect with 1he
ball effectively when a hit would have
driven one or more runners over tne piate'
Patten was minus his usual speed, which
probably accounts for the numerous hiIs'
but Wallace and Stone found him puzzle,
the former having three chances to send
runner over the plate, but went out on
easy chances each time.
Harry Howell who thinks more than
ever that Washington Is his 100000
town. was on the firing line for the browns,
and his work was of the best. but hve MIS-
being registered off his delivery. fortu-
nately for the locals, two or these were
made In one innings and being sandwicheo
in with an error and wild pltcn. Two runs
Were scored, enough to win the game.

bali with It's great drop, fooled the locai
batters so frequently that they were gao
to hit the sphere, let alone get IL ihlo saie
territory.
BACK of the twirlers the fielding was very
good nuff of a fly ball by Ganley, giving
the Browns their only run. and IumDie
by Yeager, which helped along the locals

tioDaI one-handed stop by Lave cross OF
sizzling grounder from Stones bat was the
feature of the game, while Tom Jones, on
first and Hartsen, on second; puheo OH
several plays that were out of the ordinary
Anderson filled Hickmans shoes at hrst
very acceptably while George Mil played
