Of the accident to Bugs Raymond in

For the first time in his picturesque
career, Bugs" Raymond rs put down
and out by one high ball yesterday al
the Polo Ground This disgrace was
deeply felt by the Bug" The only ex-
tenuating circumstance to this unprece-
denied incident was the fact that ne
absorbed this particular high bail behind
the left ear instead Of through the usual
channels. Arthur said afterward that
the effect was very similar, only quick
er. and accomplished with less ammuni-
ton.
The Giants defeat Of st. Louis was
purely secondary to the Bugs" mis-
fortune 1t all happened in the sixth
inning Bachman, who was pitching
