Winning Streak
OF Yankees One
Consecutive Game

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1s.-The Yam
KEGS winning streak did not get be-
yond the stage of one consecutive game
The Browns maltreated the minions of
Wild Bill Donovan here this afternoon
in a manner altogether unexpected of
a last place team and the Yankees are
now dangerously close to the sixth
notch in the standing Of the clubs. In
numerals the slaughter to-day goes in
to the records as to /.
For a brief period in the first inning
it seemed as if the New Workers were
on their way to another triumph.
When Donovan's men get away we'll in
the opening frame they usually keep
on moving. but to-day they followed no
such procedure. They started we'll,
then stopped dead still and were help
less during the remainder of the game
while the Browns were running away
to an easy victory.
Ray Caldwell, usually tough prop
osition for the Browns, got the call
from Wild Bill and il was the same
old story. The only chance he had to
win was to pitch shut-out and Ray
mond was in no shut-out mood this
afternoon. He was touched up with
more frequency than vigor, many Of
the home hits being of the fuke vsri-
ETY., but when he showed signs Of pull
ing himself together after a poor start
the Yankees Immediately settled down
to the task of pulling his efforts TO
pieces.
CaldvelTs Support Blows
Their loose work in the sixth inning
made the game a procession FOR the
home team, just when the battle was
shaping up as a real contest between
the boxmen. But for the loose playing
in the sixth it is doubtful if the Browns
would have scored in this frame.
Getting back to the Yankees as a
team, they had no license to win, any
way. They got six hits off Dave Daven-
port, and the hits were as far apart
as Yankee victories have been recently.
Two hits were punched in the first inn
ing, and after that one was the limit
for the Donovan boys in any frame.
/ Only twice in the last eight innings did
n Yankee dig his spikes into second
base, and none got beyond that port
of call. Caldwell got a double IN the
second inning and Maisel stole in the
] Ultn, AFTER TCdCNlHs lISL Ddse on an
error. That explains how helpless the
/ Yankees were.
A single by Hendryy on the first
pitched ball made the Yanks dream OF
another victory. Lee Msgee, who
played a fine game, grabbed Msisel's
| hot drive and threw to Sisler TO double
Hendryx. From the stands it appeared
| that Tim was a goner, but Bill Dineen
ruled him safe. Peck then forced
Hendryx at second, stole on the next
pitched ball and raced to third when
| Severeid's throw rolled to centre. Pipp
walked and Baker shot single into
right. scoring Peck. That was all for
the Yanks.
Then Browns Get Busy
The Browns got the run back on
| Shotton's double to right, sacrifice by
Magee and Sisters single TO left. In
/ the second they went ahead on Sew
ereid's single to centre, Jacobson's
scratch hit off Caldwell's glove and
/ Davenport's line drive TO right. From
this time TO the sixth the Browns did
| not get a runner to first and the Yanks
got only one.

last fifteen years the company has
been spending for betterments, In

0O0, 900 q year, and that even that ex-
penditure has not been enough to
keep up with the development Of the
property. while in the last year
the need for additional expenditures
for greater terminal facilities, equip
ment, and certain needed improve
ments along the line Of the road
has been keenly felt. At the
present time the company has
on its program improvements which
II is felt should be completed
within the next two years, and which
amount to about S54, ZOO, 900, OF which
S16,000,O00 is for cars and locomo-

will have q very serious and difficult

advance OF 10 per cent in freight
