Tom Seaton finally stopped Kansas City
In It's farewell game at Washington Park
yesterday afternoon and the Tip Tops
won about as they pleased by a score OF
5 TO .. Behind less formidable artist
the Brooklyns might not have Jared so
well. Time after time the scrappy fol-
lowers OF Stova'l rallied after a dsas-
trous start and became so dangerous as
to call forth everything in the seston
category. Twice Seaton was called upon

Seaton deserved a shutout. An error
BY Holman gave the visitors their first
run and a crazy throw by Owens piled
up the two others. But the victorious
tosser had nothing to complain OF In this.
Kansas City practically threw the game
10 him In the opening round when a series
OF mlsplays arranged all four runs that

stone, a former member OF the 81. Louis
Browns was bumped for four clean hits
In the opening frame. But he should have
had the side out at the expense of one
blow and no count
Cooper started at Stone with a clean
hit. He should have been doub ed easily
with Myers on a sharp tap TO the box.
Goodwin muffed the throw for the force
out and both men were safe. Then Good
win forgot TO cover second to take
throw from Stone when Cooper strayed
too far Off second. Coles let the ball roll
through his legs clear to the fence and
before II could be retrieved both Cooper
and Myers had tailed. This string OF
mscues seemed to rattle Stone. Evans
bumped him for triple and scored on
an out Murphy and Westerzil hit clearly,
the latter on a hi and run pay that was
good enough to advance the slow gated
Danny from first to third. Murphy
counted while Gagnler was forcing Wes-
terzil and there is no telling where the
carnage would have ended II Umpire
Goeckei had not come to the rescue of
Kansas City. He called Gagnler out on
a steal and absolutely refused to notice
Kenworthy's mum after he tagged the
man, though the ball rolled several yards
away. And. perhaps because Tom Sea-
was pitching, no Brook yn players-not
even Gagner--petped Mt the verdict.
Stone came back strong In the second
and for three straight Innings got the
batters In one, two, three order. But In
the Attn he lost control. He passed Owens
and seaton and then filled the bases with
