Sad Story that winning three and lasing four is not Likely to win any pennants not when the red hot St. Louis cardinals can maintain their Pace and take six against a single loss. Any Hopes held by the other National league clubs that the cards would pull a a Brooklyn and go Down and Down during the last weeks of the Pennant race were blasted by Billy Southworth team. The red Birds even snapped out of their a a now Well win one now Well give somebody else a Chance a attitude of the past few weeks when they were doing Little better than breaking even.
