Hit by Daley and Error by
Walker Send Winning
Run Over in the
Thirteenth.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

ST. Louis, Aug. 8.-Carroll Brown
pitched magnificent baseball for the
Yankees here to-day, and Chances
men won q desperate thirteen inning
battle from the Browns by score of
. to /. Hamilton, for st. Louis, also
pitched with splendid efficiency.
For the most part, men cast adrltt
by Connie Mack are of little use to
any one else. but such was not the
case to-day, for seldom have the fans
of ST. Louis seen better pitched game
than that in which Brown took part
to-day. Time and again he was in
bad holes, but each time he escaped.
The big pitcher had fast breaking
drop ball, which played havoc with
Branch Rickey's batters.
The break of the game came in the
thirteenth inning. Pete Daley doubled
for a starter, and Doc Cook, who is
bent on working his way up into the
800 class, made a sharp single. The
drive was on a line, and Clarence
Walker should have been able to nail
the runner at the plate, but he fun
bled badly, and home dashed Daley.
The players were well nigh ex-
hausted at the end of the battle. for
it was played in typical st. Louis
hot day. Brown himself asserted that
he had lost six pounds while pitching.
For the first time this season Branch
Hickey tried the experiment of man
aging his team from the bench. He
was not in uniform, so he could not
rush out on the field, though his men
had to restrain him from doing so on
several occasions.

TIP TOPS SUFFER
DOUBLE DEFEAT
Provide Stepping Stone
for Chicago to Reach
League Leadership.

Chicago, Aug. s.-The Chicago Fed
erals welcomed the Brooklyn Tip Tops
here this afternoon, and by giving their
visitors a double thrashing, jumped to
the top of the percentage column.
In the opening engagement Rankin
Johnson, the former Boston American
League twirler, who jumped to the out
law organization when ne was traded
to the Cleveland team, performed in
mastery style and held his opponents
safe in hand. He pitched shut-out ball
until the last frame, when the Tip Tops
managed to cross the plate for single
counter. The score was to l. In
the last game the visitors were again
unable to score until the final frame,
and this time their hosts beat them by
the score Of 8 to |.
The first contest of the afternoon
was a great pitchers battle, the result
being always in doubt. Johnson found
LATTE a worthy foe. The Brooklyn
twirler was in great form and gave the
Chicago team only seven hits, one more
than his mates were able to get from
his opponent. Johnson was better able,
however, to keep the half-dozen hits
well scattered.
Anderson, the fast centre fielder of
the Brooklyn team, took the hitting
honors Of the day. He solved Rankin
for three safeties, among which were a
brace of healthy doubles. Shaw, who
batted for LATTE in the ninth inning,
scored on one of these, but Anderson's
ether hits were not fertile.
In the second game, Prendergast was
hit freely, but kept his hits far apart.
Backed up by fast fielding, he was able
to win an easy game.

NEWARK BEATEN TWICE
Umpire Has Close Gall and
Gets Police Escort.

Newark played listless ball yesterday
afternoon and was defeated in double
header by Rochester. With any sort
of pepper in their work the Indians
might have had both games, as they
had plenty of opportunities to score
which they failed to take advantage Of.
The scores were TO 3 and to 4.
In the seventh inning of the first
game there was almost fight on the
field. Mullin called two Newark play
ers out at third base in succession on
close decisions and most of the others
gathered around the arbiter and threat
ened him. The umpire bsnished Heck
niger and W. Zimmerman, after which
spectators threw pop bottles at him.
Between the games the spectators made
threatening attempts to get to him and
a police escort was necessary to pro-
tect him.
