St. Louis, September 17.-Herbert (Shucks) Pruett. sensational young pitcher of the Browns, held the New York Americans to five hits and St. Louis won today's game, to 1. Pruett's victory. in which he struck out eight batsmen, put St. Louis back to within one half game of the league leading Yankees. Each team now has won one game in the three game series, the deciding game of which win be played tomorrow. with the league leadership going to the winner. Many believe the winners in tomorrow's game will win the pennant.
 Babe Ruth's home run was the only solid hit made by the Yankees. Pruett's control was almost perfect He issued only one base on balls.
 Kenneth Williams took the lead among major league homerun elou- ters by slauming out his thirty eighth circuit drive in the eighth in- ming. Sisler who had walked was on base. Sisler cracked out sim gle in the sixth inning, making it the forty-first consecutive game in which he has hit safely. The single broke the record created by Ty Cobb of Detroit in 1911, when Cobb hit in forty straight games. Witt, cen terfielder, for New York, who was knocked unconscious when struck by a pop bottle, presumably thrown by a fan in yesterdays game, was back in the lineup today, although his forehead was split open by the bottle.
 Hoyt Relieved
 The game was pitchers battle between Pruett and Hoyt for five innings. Hoyt was touched fon three runs in seven innings, and Jones, who took up the hurling duty after MoE.illan batted for Hoyt in the eighth. allowed two more markers.
 In the sixth inning. Ruth. who in his first two times at bat had walked and famed, connected for his thirty third homerun.
 But the Browns took the lead by scoring three runs. Foster walked, Sisler singled and Foster scored on Williams single. Jacobson popped to Scott and McManus famed. Will Hams stole second and he and Sisier crossed the plate on Severeid's liner over second base.
 Browns Add Two
 The Browns added two more coun- ters in the eighth on Sisler's base on balls and Williams four base hit.
 New York threatened In the ninth when Dugan and Ruth singled In succession, but Pipp forced Ruth' schang famed and Pipp was thrown out by Severeid as he was attempt ing to steal second.
 Wildly enthusiastic, the crowd seemed to forget yesterdays inci- dent in regard to Witt being struck by pop bottle. The umpire had policemen stop gang of fans in centerfield waving handkerchieis' which, 1t was said, bothered the battehs.
