Waite Hoyt Delivers Sterling
Grade of Pitching Against
st. Louis Team.
BY WILLIAM b. HANNA.

ST. LOUIS, July 15.-Waite Hoyt deliv-
cred sterling grade of pitching to-day
end the Yankees beat the Browns again.
The score was to 8, and Babe Ruths
thirty-fifth home run contributed to the
Yankee loot. He hit the ball out Of the
enclosure off Van Glider with two on
bases. The Yanks won three out OF
three here and gained on the Cleveands,
who were beaten to-day by the Red
Sox.
The Yankees played we'll except in
base running. There their judgment was
askew. Their fielding was fast and
spirited. their hitting timely. Schane
threw like rifle shot to bases and easily
throttled all burglarious Browns. Few
ster and Ruth played the outfield in tip
top style.
Van Glider was unsteady in the first in
ming. but the Yanks did not grasp their
opportunity at all. Fewster walked and
at three and two Peck popped little fly
TO Gerber on which Fewster was doubled.
Ruth walked and Baker singled, and
Meusel flied high to Tobin. Three men
on. five men up. no man scored.
The second inning was equally futile.
Although Pipp opened 1t with base
hit, Wards lima fly and Schangs forced
krOunOeT COOKED the 1Ol1dHl SOOSe-
The st. Louis second was a queer Sc
Quence, with bad defending by the New
Yorks. Two fiukes helped the Browns.
A scratch two Dagger leaped off Will
iams's bat. jacobson tried to pull away
from pitch and he ball hit his bat. II
rolled smack through Pipp. almost
crawled, and williams scored on the err
ror. Hoyt's pitching soon set down the
necessary three men.
Ruth GIares at Moriarity.
Ruth glared at Moriarity in the third
for calling strike. bur 1t was a perfect
strike. and the glare was an anachron-
ism. Ruth then forced Peck and went to
second on Gerber's bad throw to double
him. Baker walked and Meusel took
three violent swings and left two on the
tsbarets.
The Browns smcared a scoring chance
In the third by bad base running. Van
Glider. on a hit, tried to take an extra
base on Ruth and was thrown out.
The Yanks tied 1t in the fourth. Hoyt
singled and batted in Pipp, who had
doubled. Hcyt tried for second and was
thrown out by Tobin. Schang was left
on third when Fewster famed vainly for
the second time.
The Yanks culled three in the fifth,
ishly. Peck doubled. Ruth walked.
Baker sacrificed. Meusel scratched a
wabbly hit ever McManus's seat of in
telligence and Pipp doubled. He ran
into a sure put out by trying to make 1t
a three bagger.
Ruth In the sixth hoisted home run
out of the demesne via the right field
fence. Two men-Schang. who had
walked, and Peck. who had singled
were on bases at the time.
Pipp subdued the Browns in the sixth
with a splendid running catch of foul.
so Texas League two Dagger by Sislcr
was wasted.
Joe Morris. new man making his
hrst appearance with the Browns and
against Ruth at that, struck that mighty
rnan out in the ninth. The third strike
was called. but 1t was over.
Hits by Ellerbe and Sisler and a wild
throw by Baker, with q sacrifice fly
thrown in, allowed the Browns to score
twice In the ninth. They'd hardly have
tailed but for Bakers erring toss to
Pipp's range. The score:
