whitening heat wilted a bevy of pitch
ers VINO grappled with each other during
the struggle between the st. Louis
Browns and the Yankees at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon. The sun
seemed to shine hotter on the New York
side, for there most Of the whiting was
done. Neither Heating. Fisher, Caldwell
nor Warhop bore up encouragingly under
the penetrating actnic rays, and the
same can be said of Baumgardner, the
first foreign entry; but Hamilton. his sue
cessor, fiourished like a green bay tree.
The upshot of II all was that another de-
feat had TO be entered on the scrolls
against the name OF Chances men. The
score was to 4.
Twelve hits in the hands Of a team
epeedier and more adept in the intrica-
cies OF base running might have been
coaxed into producing a bigger crop Of
runs. but the seven counters annexed
were sufficient even to amplitude for VIC
tory. and Stovall was inclined TO rest
kcontent. Several Of the wallops were well
polished and of considerable character.
There were two base drives by Stovall
and Shotten and three ply fence roamers
by Williams. Pratt and Stovall all mixed
an the huriy-burly Of the afternoon, with
spositive effects upon the ebb and flow of
lthe battle.

knore prowess with the stick than has
Ibeen seen at the local encampment in
some time. A triple and three singles IN
sdive times is worthy the aspirations Of a
Cobb or a Jackson. He should have had
q sacrifice fly in the sixth inning when
he lifted to Cree, but Pratt. who was on
third. left the bag too soon and was
called out.
Heating started the game but two runs
and two hits in tie first inning led to his
dismissal forthwith, Fisher being elected
70 the job. The latter sailed along fairly
smoothly until the sixth inning, when he
got all tangled up with three hits, so Cald-
well. upon whom Chance recently asked
waivers, came in to the rescue. The first
thing Ray did was to issue a pass and
allow double, which brought in pair
Of runs. This was enough for Chance, and
Warhop was called in TO retire the side
and finish the game.

running catch by Johnson in the sixth
inning to convince Stovall that Baum

Chance shook up his team vigorously
yesterday in the hopes of hitting the right

again. and Hartzell was pulled in TO play
