II II weren't for a certain party from
st. Louis the Superbas might have
evcned up the series with the Braves
over a, Ebbe:s Field yesterday. How
ever. this Mound City person was around
the lot and he brought with him a whole
flock OF base hits of divers descriptions.
We will keep you guessing no longer and
inform you that the perpetrator Of the
plot to rout the Robins was none other
than Big Ed Konetchy. Bohemia's am
bassador TO the Boston ball club. who
cndures his winter vacation In 81. Louis.

National League race to three games
Honey located the fork hand Blenders
Of Rube Maruuard for three lusty wal
Tops. two doubles and n triple. The
colossal first baseman figured in the
scoring Of three of the Brave TALES and
might have participated in the cashing
Of the fourth counter, but for the fact
that he had to lake his regular turn at
the bat.
Rudolph's Hits Scattered.
f, While Dick Rudolph vas found for
a total Of ten hits. he kept the blngles
scattered through seven innings. With
men on the paths. DICK frightened up
like the rubber band on his own
bankroll. Rudolph's appearance on tho
mound yesterday was his third In the
series, and It's a lucky thing only
twenty-five games are scheduled he
tween Brooklyn and Boston. as the
Bronx hoy certainly appears to have the
Superbas dashed tn the mast.
