in Sixth-Watson Quite
Effective.

Philadelphia, Sept. 14.-Bescher' 5
home run drive with the bases filled
in the fifth inning gave St. Louis a
3 to victory over Philadelphia here
to-day.
The visitors hit Myers delivery so
hard that he was taken out in the sixth
inning, Bender preventing further
scoring. The home team had many
opportunities to pile up runs, but Wat
son was too much for them at critical
moments. Three times Philadelphia
had three men on the bases.

PETERSBURG PEOPLE
WELCOME RESIGNATION
Believe W. d. Bradley VIII Make yfr.
sinia State League a Good
President

Petersburg. Va. Sept 1.--Feters-
burg baseball fans were never more
pleased in baseball history with any
thing than with the announcement OF
the resignation of Burruss Corprew
Of Norfolk. as president of the vir-
ginia League and with .the election OF
William 3. Bradley. of Richmond. as
his successor. The Virginia League
in the opinion OF hundreds of local
fans, has made q wise move In Sc
lecting Mr.. Bradley to the leadership
of the league and many Of them ex-
press the opinion unreseEyedly tina,
his election will mean contieuance
OF the league through another and
probably many more seasons Local
followers of the national pastime have
been sorely tried with the manner In
which the Virginia League Affairs have
been handled since Mr.. Bradley aided
in the defeat OF Mr.. Williams, OF Ro-
anoke. for the presidency. but they are
confident that his administration OF
the leagues AFFAIRS will prove sue
cessful.
Mr.. Bradley's first move to revive
interest hero was to send to ofriciate
in today's game the only real umpire
that has been seen here since the be-
ginning of the last half Of the season
and 1t would not be surprising to see
a capacity crowd at tomorrow's dou
ble-header and hearty welcome will
be given the leagues chief executive
should he find II convenient to attend
tomorrow's games.

Church won from Maurice Mclaughlin
at Forest Hills this afternoon. ST..
81. s-2 and S-3.
Although 1t Is said they never
come back" Mclaughlin flashed as he
flashed in the past for a short period
in the fourth set. He electrified the
crowd by his wonderful showing.
Trailing behind at two sets to one
and three to nothing in games the
Comet rallied. CHURCH. was unable to
make any Roadway against the CALI
fornian.
He played as he did in tho second
and third sets. but before tho fury OF
the Comets astounding exhibition he
was we'll nigh helpless. And then
Church came on and played tennis of
a sort which is seldom seen.
The 5000 persons who saw the Com i.
cts great success will never forget
1t. It appeared for while that he
was going to overhaul his opponent
and pull out victory in the face of
a game which appeared to be consid-
erably superior to his.
Church won the first three games
Of the four and the Comet won the
fourth He broke through Church's
service in the ffth and won the game
on the twelfth point by a Sensational
get. and more sensational return
which evaded the outstretched racket
OF Church. who camped at the net,
was ready TO lunge his -thres
Iinches Of his racket at the ball Fol-
lowing this the Comet won the sixth
game.
In the seventh, eighth and ninth
games Church was irrepressible- He
worked smoothly. efficienty and brill
liantly.< The match came to a close
with q terrific overhead smash by
Church.
The Comet started tho service and
won the opening game. Church won
on his delivery and broke the Come,
on the next.

ting won today's game easily. 8 to l.
