MA TERS IN
HIS HANDS
Wants to Revenge on Browns
That Which He Lost in
Chicago
LOUIS A. BOUCHER.


ST. LOUIS, July 11.-Now for
four hard battles against the
Brownies. Bucky Harris and his
gang Of fighting Griffs landed
here this morning to find a hot
spell about ready to descend upon
the village by the muddy Missls--
sippi and everybody will be glad
to make the hop to Detroit next
Tuesday night. Dutch Ruether is
expected to climb the hill today
against the Browns. He lost to
the White Sox by a lone run and
is out for revenge.
The world champions lost that
final contest in Chicago, 10 to 9.
It was sloppy game, featured by
third-string pitching on both sides.
Ogden had nothing, his successors
about as much. The same goes foR-
the Sox twirlers, all three Of them.
Because of the hitting and the
seesawing between the teams
the big crowd had q great time.
Roasting was incessant and, at
times. raucous, if that is the
proper word flor sports page.
and. when the Sox finally won, get
ting an even break for the series,
everybody was happy. Thus do the
champions spread joy over tnelf
journey through life.
The Sox scored in the first
round. MOstiI raped single
to center and Collins slapped one
to left. Then they worked q
double steal. RueI,s wretched peg
into left field permitting M0Stll
to score. FaIk drew pass,
but Hooper's fly to Goslin stopped
the fun.
Ogden took several cuffs on the
chin in the second and was gone
in the third. Bluege's wide neg
put Kamm on first. Schalk' 8
double to right snet him to third.
Robertson's Texas Lacquer to right
scored him. Mostil's double to-
left center scored Schalk and Col
Inns brought in Robertson and
Mostil with a rap to center.
Adams, up for Ogden in the
third, walked, took second on Nc
Neely's single and scored on Rice's
loft to Mostil.
The Griffs crawIed up on the
Sox in the fifth, getting three runs
on four singles. McNeely and
Bucky Harris singled and counted
on Goslin's terrific line drive over
Mostills head for three bases. Joe
Harris brought the Goose in with
a rap to left. Bluege watched
third strike drift past him and Joe
Harris died stealing and so the
Sox were still in front.
In the sixth they took the lead.
Peck and Ruel singled and Gregg
sacrificed. McNeely's out scored
Peck and Rice's single to right
/put RueI over and the champions
IN front.
Back came the Sox In their half
and tied the count. Schalk opened
with a walk, went up on MostiIs
rap to left, reached third on Davis
Texas Lacquer to right and counted
when Collins sent a long fly to
Rice/
MarberrS was on the hill in the
seventh and was treated right
rudely. FaIk singled and stole,
scoring on Kamm's line single to
left. Ray SchaIk singled down the
left field line and Faber took a
walk, filling the bases. Mostil. a
busy lad with the fail, poked
single past Joe Harris and Kamm
tailed. Peck was all set for Davis
grounder when 1t suddenly hoped
over his head. Davis got two bases
on that hop and Schalk and Mostil
scored, giving the Sox a four-run
lead.
But wait, the Champs were not
done. McNeely opened the eighth
with a walk. Bucky Harris raped
to center and Rice beat out a hunt
to Kamm. Goslin forced Rice, Nc
Nicely scoring. Joe Harris singled to
right, scoring Bucky Harris. Goslin
travelled all around when Hooper
let the ball roll through his legs.
Out went Faber and in came
Blankenship who effectively stopped
Bluege and Peck, leaving the Sox
leading by a lone run. And that's
the way 1t ended.
