Defeats Miners in the
Eighteenth Inning.

As the man who once swallowed "A
5-cen, piece wasn't sure whether he
was a nickel IN or a nickel out. the
supporters Of the Brooklyn TIP Tops
arc not certain whether or not they
missed barga n. They hocked TO
Washington Park. dcfyng tho inter
mlttent showers. 20 see the s.. Louis
Miners meet their favoriteS IN a
double-headcr.
They remained TO watch their team

ceased 10 swat tho ball with runners
on the lines. but rather that the Min
ers knit tight their defence. There
was nothing within or without Of rca-
son that got away from the Mound
City men, and as result the trade IN
runs suffered.
If any one had a suspicion that Al
BridWcll Is ready for tine bench or re-
tircmcut, he went long way toward
correcting the error yesterday. Al
