NOTES OF THE GAME.

Three out of four from the Brownies.
Not SO bad when you come to think
of it. Young Joe Engel probably estab-
lished a record for a series OF hve
games, starting three Of them.
Good-by you Stovallites, you are the
greatest little bunch of record-breakers
in the country, and the satisfaction We
!. derive comes from the fact that We are
good enough to have records for you to
break. johnson VIII have announcer one
for you when the team hits St Louis.
Hughey Jennings and his Jungaleers,
blow into town for n four game series
starting this afternoon at the old Dali
yard. Griffith and his clan are out for
beatings the Tigers gave them on their
last trip East.
With but two days rest Joe Engel
came back strong and twirled world
series ball. But three hits We're made
and he passed but two. one on purpose.
Maybe the OLD Fox cannot laugh now.
As in his previous game. Engel passed
Shotten as a starter. but the speedy
gardener got no farther. He attempted
tine delayed steal on Henry, but John
nailed him at Morgan's corner.
During the first three innings but three
men faced Engel in each round: The
first hit came in the fourth when Stovall
hit through the box: Morgan NEEDED
the ball but not in time to head on the
runner.
the conclusion of the game. Things
have been breaking great for the house
of Engel lately and the pater is justly
proud of his baseballistic arrival.
John Henry had his eye on the ball
and smacked out a pair of good healthy
bingles. He also caught an excellent
game.
During the fifth inning a baby cyclone
hit the park and it looked for time
as IL hostilities would have to be sus-
dal Cpppnllv had
time extricating the flying earth from
his optics.
Leverenz, who made one Of the hits
off Engei. was sure lucky. He hit a
Engel which Gandil fielded and no one
was on first to take the throw.
When Lavan threw into the stands
after fielding Gandirs single. he struck
Fred Mersheimer's straw lid and knocked
| il to the floor. Fred didn't mind for IL
helped the cause.
In the Climbers fifth they were retired
in order and Pratt had something to
do with each play, handling two ground
ers and catching fly.
Jack Johnston, that much improved
left fielder Stovall is playing. cut across
into center in the seventh and snagged
Fosters fly. He, together with several
other Brownies, could not get his eye
on Joe Engel's foolers.
II Bert Shotten would accept a little
John Henry's arm. During yesterdays
game he was on twice, and both times
a perfect peg nailed him at second.
Pete Compton. who resembles the great
Cobb in action. essayed the role of pinch
hitter as a fare-the-well and lifted a
little fly to Moeller in left.
In the sixth, Stovall made a swell catch
with his gloved hand on Lavan's wide
throw to catch Laporte. This was the
ball that scored Gandil with the winning
run.
In the fourth, when Engel had the
bases damned, Harry Harper. who is
just itching to get into a game. went
| to the bull-pen and warmed up. but Joe
did very nicely, thank you, and his
services We're not necessary.
While the cyclone was raging Williams
hit a skyscraper directly over the in
field The whole inner works gathered
around and watched John Henry with
his big mitt come out and smother il.
Joe did not pick the weak hitters to
strike out. for in the sixth Stovall and
Pratt, two of the teams best little clout-
\ ers sat down after looking at three.
