ponents pulled down the most
runs.
Tom Hughes Comes Back.
Long Tom Hughes came back into his
own again, and after a bad first inning
settled down and pitched the kind OF
ball that wins pennants. Six hits was
the best st. Louis could claim. and
after the first inning not a member of
Stovai's gang reached the midway sack.
Hughes had perfect control, and his sup
port, after the poor start, was alright.
Young Howard Shanks was the heavy
hitter for the Nationals. connecting for
two blows, striking out the same number
Of times; but to AL Williams, Laporte,
and Foster so the honors for the timely
hit stuff, sadly lacking feature of the
Nationals play recently, which has sad

write baseball for a living. Bill Ken
worthy held down Danny Moeller's job
in right field for the reason Danny does
not take. kindly to southpaw pitching.
Danny's worst efforts would probably
have been equaled by Kenworthy's best
to-day, as the Denver boy faced Hamil-
ton five times and walked back to the
bench on four occasions. swinging vainly
into space.
Ragged fielding and a wild streak by
Tom Hughes gave the Browns two run
lead in the opening chapter. Shotten
doubled to right. Kenworthy made a
poor play on the hit and should have
held Shotten at first. Gus Williams
grounded to Gandil. the ball shooting
through Chicks props. Shotten scored
on the out. Compton walked, and Pratt
singled. Miller forced Williams at the
plate. Laporte to Al Williams. Austin
walked. filling the bases. and when
Hughes passed Wallace, Compton was
forced to score. This represented the
total run effort of the Browns. for dur

Simply toyed with the tailenders.
Foster Starts Rally.
Hamilton made the Nationals look fool
fish until Foster started a batting rally
which led to a tie score in the Nationals
fourth. Eddie grounded TO Pratt. who
threw low to Miller. The last named
cropped the ball as Foster crossed the
bag. Milan beat out a bunt and
Foster was advanced to second.
Gandil sent Williams a long fly,
and on the out Foster scooted to third.
Milan raced to second on the throw,
which was intercepted by Wallace. who
promptly turned Milan DdCh tOWdru HrSt
Clyde let the Browns wing run him TO
earth, and while this was going on Fos-
ter crossed the plate. as Pratt's throw
TO Alexander was poor the ball shooting
past the backstop and rolling to the
stands. Milan was on third before the
pellet was recovered. Laporte gave Shot
ten a high fly. and Milan raced home
with the run which put the Nationals
on even terms with the foe.
After Hamilton had famed Gandil and
Laporte in the seventh Shanks singled TO
right. Mcbride smashed safely TO left.
and when Al Williams blasted the ball
through Austin. Shanks scored. This run
would have been enough. but in order
to make victory sure tally was chalked
UP by our side In the eighth. Tom Hughes
tripled to the left field stands and ambled
home or Fosters pretty single to right
over Pratts head.
Laporte and Shanks both singled in
turn during the ninth, but Hamilton put
on the screws and there was no more
scoring.
