PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6. </P)—The
Athletics, with the big gunner, a
homer herded in the sixth inning,
hammered a 3 to 0 victory off three
St. Louis pitchers.
The Athletics thus evened the
series with St. Louis and both teams
now have' two games apiece. George

the Cards only two hits and fanned
eight. The Athletics knocked John
son off the mound in the sixth and
Lindsey and Derringer finished the
game.
In the lineup of both teams after
the player's name and position in
the field, there will appear the let
^ ters r or 1, indicating a right- or
left-handed batter. Frisch and
Collins, of the St. Louis Nationals,
bat either way, depending whether
lacing a right- or left-handed
pitcher.
The official American League ball
will be used in today’s game.
During field practice Flowers,
Third baseman for St. Louis, was
hit- in the stomach by a batted ball
and was knocked out. The players
of both teams ran to his aid and
carried him to the side lines where
f he apparently was unconscious.
He was attended by a physician
and after working over him for 10
minutes, he was assisted to his feet
and assisted to the bench. He was
very groggy when he was led to
:he bench; but will play in today’s
game.
