ST.. LOUIS. May Ala rally by the
Browns extending over the last two
onnings cracked Ray Fishers winning
streak here this afternoon and took
already were counting as an addition
% their victory column. Several Yanks
figured In the final proceedings In a
way to help along defeat. but the Yankee
pitcher was more to blame thar any Of
bis mates. as the closing rally owed
most of its strength to his wildness.
The final score was 8 to I. and all the
home teams runs came in the last two
innings, after the Yankees had finished
CHER scoring for the day.
For seven innings Fisher held the
Browns off, and his seventh straight
victory seemed a certainty. He had
been hit harder than is his custom and
he Browns threatened TO score in five
q these innings. only to be checked
b good pitching or tight fielding. In
ehe eighth Fishers charm began to fad
md two runs. started by Rays wild
MSS, were chased over the dish. In tho
ninth an error by the usually reliable
Pc%ckinpaugh and another pass were
followed by two solid hits. which brought
victory to the Browns.
Donovan's men gained their early lead
more through the poor work OF the home
team than through any great stick work
themselves. The Brown played like
high school boys in the field and their
nisplays were no small factor in the
score which the Yanks piled up in the
Fourth and seventh innings. one hit
was all the Yanks got in either inning
but this helped 10 manufacture two runs
each time. thanks to Loudermilk's poor
control and the ragged fielding OF his
supporting cast.
The Yankees had opportunities galore
90 run up a high count in the run
column. but chance after nance was
allowed to slip away. In every innins
except the ffth the Yanks got runners
60 second or third base and at various
times every member OF the Donovan
troupe missed an opportunity to chase
across a run or two. II did not seem
that they would be needed until the
Browns sprang their successful rally
and then II was too late.
II was a healthy wallop from the bal
OF Derrill Pratt which upset Fishers
plans OF registering his seventh straight
win. Ray had his hand out TO grab the
victory when Pratt gave him the jol,
and the game got away. With two on,
in the ninth and two strikes IN Pratt,
the Yanks were still peaceful. despite
the fact that Pinch Hitter Howard was
on third base and Jimmy Austin or
first. Pratt hit TO the right field corner
6or three bases and pulled up at thirt
as Austin crossed the plate with the
tying run. Clarence Walker followed
with a grounder past second base and
uhe game was over.
The Yankees had a runner on third In
the opening inning and got as far as
second In each OF the two succeeding
frames. but could not count. In tho
fourth High walked and took third or
Pipp's single to left. Lavan fumhled
