form and both got a lively reception at
times. but the Washington beanpole was
not relieved until after st. Louis had done
its damage. while Jacobsen was tolled into
the bench by McAleer In the eighth inning
and Howell sent to the rescue at the right
time

Louis Its first three runs was a missed third
strike by Blankenship which Jacobsen
got to first. He was the first man up In that
Timing. and naturally Niles hunted. Harry
put the ball to the left of the pitcher in a
place where he would have beaten the hit
out anyway Anderson, Falkenberg and
schlafiy all went after the ball. and Ander-
son was unlucky enough to get it. OConnor
stood over ON the first base coach line and
yelled TO Andy to throw to first with his
hands outstretched. Anderson threw II all
right. and IL 1t had not been for the paviI
lon the ball would never have come back.
