ST. LOUIS, June 10.-Branch Rickey's
Browns fell before the Peckinpaugh punch
this afternoon and when Roger. with the
minor assistance of the rest OF the New
Yorks had engineered a double play that
closed the game in the ninth, the Browns
found themselves beaten, 6 to 3, and a
handsome rally ruined in the making.
When Roger was not producing clean
clouts for one or two bases he was smoth-
ering St Louis hits. Thrice in the course
Of the afternoon he collided safely with
the sphere and an equal number of times
did he burglarze Browns from guaran-
teed hits
Three Brown pitchers essayed the same
end at which the lengthy Caldwell was
aiming, the winning of a ball game. Wiley
Taylor retired after three rounds OF bonn
bardment. Walter Leverenz, making
belated appearance on the local lot, gave
up the ghost at the end of the eighth,
and Bill James managed to keep the visl-
tors from troubling the rest of the way.
The cool and collected Mr.. Caldwell had
things much his own way except in the
second, when Clarence Walker tagged him
for triple and young Leary followed with
a base hit scoring Walker. Errors played
their part of the other Brown runs and
Caldwell was really never In trouble.
