to play base ball he became the lead

But Marberry might have remained
unknown to the base ball world at

GRIFFS DISGRUNTLED
OVER LOSS OF GAME

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September 90
Although assured they will go into
Chicago Monday at least on even
terms with the Yankees in the battle
for the American League pennant, the
Bucks were a disgruntled lot tonight
following their 15-to-14 defeat at the
hands of the Browns in the second
game of the series.
They do not reproach Fred Mar
berry for his wild throw that let in
two runs in the 10th inning when
the customary play probably would
have resulted in two-ply killing and
a triumph over the Sislerites. Rather,
they are reproaching themselves for
their many mistakes that kept them
from holding a two-game instead of
one-game lead over the New
Workers..
The Bucks played about the most
stupid base ball game of which they
have been guilty this season. And
most of the mistakes were made by
veteran members of the aggregation,
too. However, errors of omission will
occur occasionally in the best of ball
clubs and the Bucks may be thank
full no other game during this most
important trip has been so marred.
They still have fair edge over the
Yanks.
Should the Bucks win five of their
remaining eight games the Yanks
would have to win seven of eight to
be at the top of the heap a week
from next Tuesday.
Manager Bucky Harris now is
wondering who his pitcher will be
in the Sunday game here, the final
with the Browns.
There is some chance that George
Mogridge, who was driven from the
hill Friday may be sent back against
the Sislerites. Harris would like to
use a southpaw against them. Walter
Johnson, who lasted but an inning
today, also may be given some con-
sideration.
The Browns are expected to start

Johnson, Mogridge, Marberry, Martina,

altogether too heated to contemplate
losing any men even temporarily right

A sore knee has been added to the

catcher, who has been a great factor
in the success of the Nationals this
year. His right knee was struck by
foul tip from Jamieson's bat in a
Cleveland game, but did not worry
Muddy for several days, but this
morning the joint was swollen
enough to give Muddy decided limp.
However, Trainer Martin believes he
can reduce the swelling without TAX
ing Ruel out of action. All Muddy is
suffering with now are a scraped

right foot and a severely bruised left
thigh. But being husky 1885,
