NEW luhh "a. I,l, U, BIT LOUi s "a, L.lI !,
Another of Grifith's veteran pitchers
showed the effects OF the salubrious warm
spell yesterday and a coTrelattve occurrence
was the defeat Of the st. Louis, Browns by
home game, and there was nothing inhis per
formance TO indicate that he has gone back
1s a curve specialist or was not ~ and able to
. He was lmpregnable with men on bases. No
damaeing hitting was done ea him whstever;
he made a balkt without which there would
have been no st. Louis run.
Moore had a wide curve, and he shpttled II
from one corner Of the plate TO the other with
The 81. Louis batters guessing except stone.
Moore hurt HE shoulder. when he let 20 OF one
eighth inning whistler, but after. rubbing II a
bit he went on az smoothly as before, strikinE
out four OF the last six batters. "A fast high
bail close In was u useful part Of his repertoire.
Not ne least noticeable feature Of his pitching
was that he was hit somewhat freely in the
sixth and seventh innings but was able TO stop
this before II got troublesome. He never was
in difficulties.
Glade had a sharper swerve 10 his benders
than Moore, but the New Yorks took to him
readily; They hunted y good deal, and Glade
poor hands at fielding the hunts. The Browns
were 9 crippled team, with Yeager. Hemphil
and Niles out, but that did not excuse their
%fkistlesss.. '" 81 ginger lucy ""e "" '"u
Keller planted a bunt in front OF the plate

the squeeze. Chase hit to Butler as Keller
dash ed forward, and Butler threw home In
stead OF throwing to first, which latter play
was the only chance he had to make a put out.
Keller was on the plate by the time Butler
threw. The squeeze was u new play to the
latter. Judging from the way he handled the
ball.
Harry Howell made a fine play 10 the third.
Elberfeld tried to go from second to third on
Laporte's fly to centre. Howell was far out
hut Grabbed Elberfeld at third with q superb
throw, Moriarlty hunted safely IN the fourth.
He was forced by Conroy. Wallace made a
pretty stop OF Conroy's ~RroundeI, but the
grounder would have been a base hit II Wal
lace had had to throw to first base. Hof-
mans hit through the box jumped over Wal
ace at second base and put ConT9y on third.
Elberfeld kicked on a decision calling Stone
said he dropped the ball. II looked as II he
had Stone blocked of the bag. but anyway he
would not stop growing and was clear In at
the plate and still fussing when the umpire
passed sentence Of Punishment on him. Tit
New YoTks made two runs in this inning.
Keller hunted. Hickey was hit, Chase sacri-
feed, Laporte flied TO Howell and scored
Keller. and Hickey registered on Moriarity's
skysCraper scratch. Wallace scored for
st. Louis In the sixth on a hit, q balk and Hart
Zell's hit. The New Works had two on bases
and none out in the same inning, but faulty
inside play hooked a zero. o.
The New Yorks bagged q couple OF counts
in the eighth inning on Morierity's wallop to
creeper TO Wallace and Moore's low fy be-
{ ween HartZell and Pickering. which neither
could get under. The score:
