SCOOPS CAREY “CLEANED UP”

Responds to Urgent Rooting of His MOther-in-Law by Banging Out Three-Base Hit. Scoops Carey’s four hits at St. Louis in one game of the opening series is a reminder of an Incident involving his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Behrens. They live in St Louis, and Scoops spends the winter there. Carey came up with the bases

full in the ninth and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Behrens, cried in kind tones: “Ach, Scoops, hit it and clean up.” "Is Scoops your son?” asked a man alongside. “No, sir,” replied Mrs. Behrens. “He is my son-in-law.” “Then we’ll all root for him,” exclaimed the man. Scoops tripled and won the game while all the St. Louis crowd yelled.
