Yankees Drop Too
In Si&&limg st: Louis
Mogridge and Caldwell Each
Fail After Mates
Get Lead

ST. LOUIS, Aug. Awhile the n,er-
curry sizzled around the century mark
ut Sportsman's Park this afternoon the
Browns and Yankees closed their last
series of the season in this city before
a gathering Of about 5000 sweltering
fans. Jimmy Burkc's boxmen stood
the terrific heat much better than the
pitchers nominated by Miller Huggins,
and the Browns won both ends of the
bargain-day bill, the first by the score
of to and the second to the tune
of to 3.
Just as Mogridge faltered after his
mates had batted out lead for him
in the first game, so did Caldwell fall
down in the second encounter after
the Yankee bats had carried the team
to the front in the sixth inning of the
closing number. With the Yanks in
front in the seventh, hits by Austin,
Severed and Rogers sent q run over
out and an intentional pass to Sisler.
Dcrnmitt drove A single to right field.
which chased two runners over the
dish and furnished the Browne with
their margin of victory.
The Yankees had scored a run in the
first inning on Gi1hooley's single, Aus
tins tumble. Gil's steal of third and a
single by Baker. The Browns went
into the lead in the second, scoring two
runs on hits by Smith, Austin ana
Rogers and an error by Peckinpaugh,
In the sixth Lamar's single and Pratt's
triple tied the score again. Bakers
sacrifice fly sent Pratt in and put the
Yanks in the lead again, but ali inning
later they fell back and never again
threatened.
Baker Batting Again
Frank Baker emerged from his bat
ting slump and pounded out four hits,
also sacrifice fly Gilhooley was the
only other Yankee who had any sue
cess with the stick. These two con-
tributed half of the hits made BY the
New Workers in the two games.
Gilhooley also played fine game in
centre field, pulling down eight drives
in the afternoon. Catches by Hendrix
and Hyatt and throw from left field
to first base by Lamar, doubling run
ner off the bag, were other fielding
features.
The Browns took the opening game
after the first batsman had been re-
tired in the ninth, the bases empty and
the home team two runs behind. Sew
ereid crashed a single to centre,
Mogridge hit Tobin and Maisels short
fly to right bounded away from Hyatt
for a triple. This tied up the game,
and when Sisler followed with a
squeeze play bunt Maisel scored.
Yanks Get Three-Run Lead
Holding lead is becoming lost
art with the Yankees. They broke
away to three-run lead in the first
inning on singles by Gilhooley and
Lamar, Bakers double and Fournier's
single. The Browns got run in the
third on Tustin's hit, an out and a
single by Tobin. -
Austin and Nunamaker nicked Fin
neran for singles, three runs result
ing and giving the Browns the lead
