Browns In number of base blows, but
only In the fifth inning that saw more
than one blow.
81. Louis started of with the scor-

third on Howard's single. and came
home on Pratt's bunt Ii was per-

Another one came in the second

That ended things until the ninth,
which has already been chronicled.
Veach was kept out of the game |
TO lessen the number OF left-handers.
At that he couldn't have been any
worse than Heilman, who doesn't look
much like ball player.
Coveleskie, who has always been

Reynolds wasn't much better, al.

have a lot OF pep and Rickey's the

Stanage was credited with two
passed balls yesterday. That looks

fault OF the veteran. The young pitch

one occasion, while the other looked
suspIciously like IL.
