ped, 8 TO 0, before small Sunday

wild antics of Uncle Nick Altrock
and AL Schacht quite as much as

Milton CASTOR staggered along
until the fifth when he got the
air, Ernie Wingard delivering his
/ southside stuff for the remainder

Ogden was superlatively good.
He held the Browns to three hits,
every one of the lucky blokes being
nipped off IN a following double
play. The Champions completed
three double plays, bringing their
total for the year up to 1874, two
more than the st. Louis total.
