Had any one OF half dozen li,tle
things held to the groove OF common
habit Frank Chances team would be tied
with the Browns for sixth place this
morning and only one leap away from
the White SoX in ffth. But they didn't
And Branch hickey got tho game, which
he should be ashamed to accept, by "a
score OF to T.
IL took the Browns twelve innings and
three hours and seven minutes to cheat
the New Works of an afternoons work
1t Is true that the home team was
fortunate to get three of its four counts
They were forced In by weird pitching
three straight passes with the bases
filled But that Is all part Of the game
What - not part OF the game is for
an Old experienced umpire with the
reputation Of SILK OLoughlin TO have his
back turned upon one OF the most I'm
portant plays of the afternoon. That IL
just what the little tyrant Of the field
did in the tenth inning with Feckln-
paugh on second. sweeney on first and
two out Maisel dr.bbled "A slow roller to
LaNan. SILK, standing near second. an
ttcipated play at first and stood with
MS gaze rvcted upon Lcary Lavan saw
Fritz had him beaten and tried for the
he failed. but that Is not the point
OLoughlin did not turn round until
sweeney had been on the centre station
for second. But SILK called tho big
catcher out on general principles. A
proper decision might have made a great
difference.
The desperate contest was not rraced
by skilled umplrlng. Little Hildebrand,
up behind big Sweeney. seemed To shoot
AT random far more than was necessary.
Grand stand umplring Is often greatly at
fault hut 1t certainly looked as II New
York got the worse OF decision at the
plate In the eighth. This gave ST Louis
run and forced the draggy exhibition
into overtime
Marty McHale the Irish Thrush Is to
be blamed for II all so far as that goes
He relieved Heating In the eighth In
ming Ray, after five innings that would
have graced any record began to fade
80 fast that Chance took him out after
he had allowed Agnew 10 single and had
served two wide offerings to Pinch Hitter
r. Walker. A wonderful, one hand stop
by Mullen killed off Walker, but this
and Austlns out put Agnew on third
lie scored on Lavans single Shotton
hit sharply TO McHale. but in his eager
ness to stop this flash of creased Light
ming Marty threw away over Mulen's
head The latter retrieved quickly and
by n fine throw seemed to nab Lavan
al the plate. Hlldehrand couldn't see
It that way. He selected the worst pos
sible position and called the play before
IL was made.
In the fatal twelfth O'Loughlin
seemed TO mistake another apparently AZ
bad That was when Maisel and
Sweeney evidently caught Austin stealing
third with two out. Jimmie scored the
winning run on Pratts hit a moment
later.
1t was n field day for pitchers. Chance
employed four and Hickey three The
wildness OF Rickeys tossers gave New
York all its runs. Mitchell hit Peckin-
paugh In the NTH Cook followed with a
single to right, which williams threw
wildly 10 the other extreme. Mitchell
was benched with one out in the sixth.
He passed Hartzell and Cook scratched
a hit. After Cree sacrificed Mitchell
forced I'm n run with walks TO Mullen
and PecklnpHugh. Hamilton forced IN
two more by passing Sweeney and Maisel
Renting first went bad In the sixth
Mitchell hit safely with one out and
Austin walked. Ldvan's single to right
Tailed Mitchell and sent Austin to third
Shotton squeezed in Jimmie, The score
