The Browns died fighting. They had the bases choked in the final inning when Everett
Scott made a speedy play to first on pinch-hitter Pete John's hauling the game in for the Red Sox.
Manager Fielder Jones covered a lot of ground down around that third-base coaching pen. He had several more athletes who did not get into the parade, but they deserve honorable mention. Joe Bush was the Red Sox pitcher and he must have mislaid his control
somewhere. All that saved Joe from losing a game was the batting of his teammates and a wonderful play by Everett Scott. The speed merchant came perilously close to putting the game in hock several times. He passed seven men, but refused to be downhearted.
Stuffy McInnis was switched back to first base and Fred Thomas went to third. This change is only temporary, as manager Ed Barrow still certain that Stuffy he will develop into a top-notch third sacker. With Dick Hoblitzell injured and Ruth due to pitch tomorrow,
Barrow had to make the shift.
Five pitchers worked for the Browns, Alan Sothoron was back in the dugout before the first inning was over, and Tom Rogers, Dave Davenport, the veteran Lefty Liefeld, and Byron Houck followed in the fifth, when Davenport put himself on a rocky road.
The Sox hit the ball hard, hitting safely in every inning. Otis Strunk, Dave Shean, Everett Scott, and George Whiteman did most of the thumping. Scott's play in the fourth was great . One run had scored, three were on and two were out, when Jim Tobin lashed
the ball through the box toward centerfield. But Scotty ran over and speared it with the gloved hand and tossed him out. Another feature was Harry Hooper's great catch of Ray Demmitt's liner in the ninth.
A pass to Harry Hooper and singles by Shean and Strunk packed the bases in the first, and Whiteman's double between Demmitt and Tobin cleared them putting the Sox up 3-0 with Whiteman tagged out trying to make it a triple. Stuffy McInnis and Fred Thomas hit safely in
this frame, and Sam Agnew reached on a fumble, but there was no more scoring.
The Brown scored one in the fourth, when Stuffy dropped Smith's pop up. Demmit singled, Gedeon sacrificed, and Nunamaker walked to load the bases. Bush the walked Tim Hendryx to score the run.
Scott's single drove in Strunk and Whiteman in the fourth to make it 5 to 1. Strunk tripled and Whitman had been passed and stole second. A double by Jimmy Austin and singles by George Sisler and Smith produced another St. Louis run in the ninth.
