ST. LOUIS BROWNS
NOSE OUT NATIONALS
Three Pitchers Used on Both
Teams and Bailey Saved
the Visitors.

One OF the longest, drawn-out, nut
at the same time interesting. games or
the season was the battle yesterday be-
tween the Washingtons and st. Louis,
the latter getting the verdict by the score
OF 10 after two hours and fifteen
minutes of play Both sides used three
pitchers but Manager McAleer at last
found the proper combination when he
sent in Lew Bailey, who held the locals
safe in the last five innings. Washington
used three substitute batters and ST. Louis
one, and by the time the struggle was
over the score books resembled a Chinese
puzzle.
Neither Witherup nor Johnson had any
thing in the way Of curves to fool the
Browns, the latter dropping out on ac-
count of the heat at the end OF the
eighth inning. and Dolly" Gray finished
the battle.
1t is questionable whether Manage
McAieer had any one on his pitching
staff who could have checked the Ma
tionals' batting except Mr.. Bailey, ana
this young man. being reared in coun-
try where yesterdays weather is of the
ordinary variety, worked like a man who
enjoyed the sport.

Ferris and Danny Hoffman in a batting
line. while the fielding OF George Mcbride

OF the visitors runs.
