MORDECAI BROWN DESCRIBES RECORD SAME

“I’ve played in and watched a good many bn.ll games in my time,” sayß Mordecai Brown, the noted pitcher, now with the Chicago Federals, “but the record game of them all was staged in St. Louis last season. I was working againßt Seaton. In the twelfth inning, with the score tied, Brooklyn came up and made seven runs. It got so bad that the last two men struck out on purpose to end the game before darkness, or we might never have retired the side. “Then, with that seven runs handicap and Seaton pitching, we came in and made eight runs with two still on and only one out We could have made three or four more, and I believe they would have done the same. Yet there are people who try to dope out this blooming game.”
