nursing a badly Charley horsed left
leg, a condition that developed when
he ran for Muddy Ruel in the eighth
inning of Saturdays game at St,
Louis and scored from first with the
tying run when Bob Reeves cracked
a two bagger.
West declares he suffered the strain
while on the way from second to
third base and that he was in agony
the remainder Of the way home. Yet
the young fellow turned third in
great form and cut down his speed
little until he had crossed the plate.
According to Trainer Mike Martin,
the Charley horse is unusually severe
and West may be on the ailinS list
for week at least.
Ruers spectacular catch of Miller's
foul blasted a Brown scoring hope
in the first inning yesterday.
ORourke was on third base, with two

field box barrier near the st. Louis
dugout and grabbed the loft from
