ST. LOUIS, July 1.-THE Nationals
know that an even break Is all they
can hope for in this town beside the
sluggish Mississippi Yesterday the de-
spised Browns walked into Sir Thomas
headquarters in the last of the ninth
and pulled the winning run across the
pentagOn, when most of the ninety
seven fans were yawning and wonder
ing how much longer their deadhead
admissions compelled them to remain
for the sake OF appearances.
For, II you would know, :he score was
tied when the Browns went to the ba:
in the ninth. Tom Hughes lost the
battle not so much because ne was hit
as Because some wild coaching sent
National runners careerlng to their
death at third on two different occa-
sions. In that way certain noble Ath-
letics never had a chance 10 see the
platter. though swats followed their
demises
The Browns marched out ahead in the
second when, with one out of the way
and accounted for. Happy" Hogan
poled a double just out of Red Walkers
reach in left center. "Eleemosynary''
Thomas contributed a beautiful wild
hurl right there, and he went on to
third. Jimmy Stephens, who has lost
lot Of his superfluous flesh this sea-
son, carefully placed a safe drive in
center, scoring the Swede.
Bert Shotten Tallies.
In the next paragraph Sir Thomas
was made to look little foolish, among
other things. "Ponderosity" Powell

ION lived when Mcbride couldn't quite
field his merry swat. Furthermore,
BERTHE continued right on to third on
Jimmy Austin's robust belt to right.
and had no difficulty in tallying on
Meloan's wallop to Gesslervtlle. Aus
tin had taken third on Meloan's rap,
and when Molly went down to Sec
ond the thirdsacker was caught between
third and home. and playfully nailed in
the spinal column by one E. 'Dorf'
Ainsmith on a quick return from Nc
Pride.
The Nationals got busy in the fourth
Schaefer's high bounce went over Pom
derosity's" head, and Doc Gessler lift
ed one single to right the comedian
reaching third from where he scored
while Rhoderick Dhu Wallace was kill
ing Red Walker at first.
hSpiIue was pdsSeu, DuE COnrOy
could only fly to Shotton, and the at
tack had ceased along the Potomac. In
the sixth the lads from Taftville tied
UP the score mainly through the entire
work, of "Gabby" Street on the coach
ing lines.
He could be heard plainly In the ST.
lence of the unpeopled park.
Schaefer bingled to center, but died
at third when Mclean grabbed Elber-
feld's single and hurled to Austin. Mis-
take number one right there.
Gessler Takes Stroll.
Gessler, who was in batting mood
during the peaceful afternoon, was al
lowed to stroll, and Clarence Walker,
KID. merely famed at where
the pill was supposed to be but wasn't.
1t remained for Captain George Nc
Bride, and he lifted a single to center,
scoring Elberfeld with the tying run.
Gessler attempted to reach third on the
wallop, and expired without having
time to dictate an antemortem state |
ment. And so 1t came to pass that the
ninth inning was reached. The Ma
tionaIs girded up their loins and Cess
Ter swatted safely to right once again |
Jack Lelivelt stroIled to the pan In
place of young Walker, and did about
as we'll, popping to Wallace. Mcbride,
however, was no weakling in the face |
cf the enemy, splashing a sa1ety 70
right. Elberfeld, who was co5cnlng, |
reid the striving physician on second.
Here's the wickedness OF those
