ST. LOUIS, July 29.-The Mats
scored eight runs in one inning
against the Browns today and
then approached the impossible
by dropping a 1919 decision to
their Season-long tormentors.
In strikingly similar circum-
stances to the events of Friday
nights game. st. Louis dealt
Mickey Harris his second defeat
in two days and continued to ex-
ercise its Whammy on the Mats.
The Browns victory was their
eleventh in Is games with WASH
ington.
Friday night, with two out in
the ninth inning and the winning
run on second, Manager Bucky
Harris ordered a base on balls for
the Browns most dangerous hit
ter, Sherm Lollar, in order to get
at Ken Wood. who is hitting .21O.
Wood singled across the winning
run.
The setting virtually was dupli-
Gated today. With two out in the
eighth and the score tied at SO.
Dick Kokos doubled to center and
Lollar again was walked Intention
ally. Up stepped Wood. He
promptly singled again off Harris
and the Browns forged to their
fourth victory in five days. 1t was
the fifth defeat for Mickey, three
of them by the Browns.
NOren Hits Homer.
The Browns had doomed into a
40 lead against Sandalio Consue-
gra in the third inning, but for
the second time this year the
Mats produced an 8-run inning
when they splattered Cuddles
Marshall and Duane Pillette,
Yankee castoffs, for seven hits in
the fourth. Among the hits was
Irv Norens 3-run homer.
! Cass MichaelS had a perfect day
at bat with four singles and paced
! Washington's 14-hit attack. Cliff
Fannin was clipped for eight of
those hits, but he gave up only one
run.
| Marshall started Consuegra's s
collapse in the third with a pop
fly single to short right which
eluded Sam Mele's grasp. Don
Lenhardt flied out, but Michaels
played Dick Kokos' grounder as if
1t was a boa constructor and the
ball bounded off his shins for a
tainted single.
Lollar flied to Noren in center.
but Ray Coleman thumped his
fifth homer of the year atop the
right field roof. Sam Dente then
gummed up Roy Sievers grounder
for an error. Sievers stole second
despite a pitchout when Al Evans
threw wretchedly to second.
George Stirnweiss then scored
SleverS with double off the right
field screen.
Lead Vanishes.
That 40 lead vanished RAPIDLY.
Mickey Vernon flied out to launch
the Mats big fourth, but Mele
walked and Michaels singled Sam
to third. A wild pitch scored Mele
and shifted Michaels to second
and Dente scored Cass with a
double to center. 1t was Denies
first hit in II tries.
Evans single to center scored
Dente and removed Marshall from
the game. Pillette came in to
walk pinch-hitter Sherry Robert
son and Eddie Yost, filling the
bases. Coan's sharp single to
center scored two more runs.
Noren then hit his seventh
homer of the season, scoring Yost
and Coan ahead of him, and Pill
lette gave way in favor of Fannin.
Fannln was given fright be-
lore he got out of the inning. He
walked Vernon, up for the second
time, but Mele forced him for the
second out. Michaels and Dente
then both singled for their second
hltS OF the inning and again load
ing the bases. But Evans fouled
to Lollar.
Browns Score Again.

mats pitching in the fourth.

as st. Louis Whitfield Washington's
lead to 8-6. A walk to Billy Som
mers, Fannin's single and walks to
