ST. LOUIS GETS TO FORD
TaiI-EnderS Defeat Star TWirler
of the Yankees.
WIN ON ONLY TWO HITS
Costly Errors by New York En-
able Browns to Romp Away
with Victory.

ST. Louis. July 13.--The st. Louis Browns
we're able TO make only two hits on the
deliveries OF Ford and king" Brockett
to-day, but. aided by the most woful ef-
forts at real live baseball playing on the
part OF the Yankees, Bobby Wallaces men
romped merrily off with the game here by
a score Of to /. Both hits were made
off Ford In the third inning, and one of
them was a crashing home run drive by
Jimmy Austin into the right field bleach
ers after Ford had hit Criss with a pitched
ball and Wallace had singled to right.
Three runs resulted. Nelson pitched stead
fly, and held the Yankees safe at all times.
The attempts at fielding which New York
made We're little more than farcical.
Grounders which ought TO have been field
ed in easy fashion were juggled and booted
about, and tho parade about the lines on
the grand total of brace of hits continued
merrily. Bert Daniels, who is rated as
a consistent man in the field, made two
CHASTITY errors. and placed the homo team
in position TO score. while Hal Chase. Jack
knight and Ed Sweeney contributed
one each. The Browns were far from per-
feet in their work, and three misplays were
charged to them. but the Yankees sole
tally was made by free use OF the old
hickory.
The Yanks made fair start In the open
ing frame, and with one out Wotor singled
and took second when Hallinan muffed the
return Of Schweitzer. Hartzell was passed.
but Cree flied out 10 Shotten and Knight
forced Wolter at third. Again in the Sec
ond inning II appeared as If the Yankees
would do things. for both Chase and Mag
ner were safe on errors by Crisis. Sweeney
sacrificed Chase TO third and Magner TO
second, but a grounder by Ford proved the
undoing Of Chase when Hal tried TO score
from third on the tap. Daniels was out at
first on weak pop to Halllnan.
Ford appeared TO be working in his best
form in the first and second innings, and
the Browns came up, turned around and
then walked back TO the bench. 1t was
too good 10 last, and the storm broke in the
third. Crss was hit, and moved around 10
third when Wallace hit safely. Nelson was
easy for Chase, but Crisis scored. Shotton
forced Wallace at second. but the former
stole the midway, and Austin came through
with mighty drive into the bleachers,
scoring his mate before him. The follow
ing inning saw another run for the Browns
Hallnan went out but Hogan walked and
when knight hurled Stephenss tap wild
both men We're safe. The bases were filled
when Crisis walked. and Hogan counted
when Wallace drove fly to Daniels.
Ford retired in the fifth inning and Brock
EFT took the mound. The fever for mis-
plays, however, continued. Nelson raced
TO second after Daniels dropped his fly and
BroGkett was late in fielding Shotton's sac
rihce bunt, so both were safe. Shotton died
stealing, but Austin was hit and Schweit-
ger lifted long noater to Wolter, scoring
Nelson. WOlter. however, doubled Austin
off first. Wallace walked IN the seventh
and took third when Chase threw long
hy TO Daniels i'm fielding Nelson's bunt, the
pitcher going TO second. Shotton then flied
out 10 Daniels and Bobby scored the last
run for his team.
The Yankees made free use NJ the bat IN
the next frame and made their sole tany.
Crockett beat ont hit. and. although Dan
iels popped out to liallinan, Woter al
vanced Louis by grounding out 10 the same
man Hartzell then happened along with a
timely single to right and BrOckett regis
tered at the plate
The score follows:
