this series looks good That is always the case in baseball and Boston and St Louis have been getting good pitching in alternate doses Its true that Johnny Pesky drop-kicked two chances that cost Dobson three unearned runs But Pesky also got two hits batted in a run and made the best play of the day on Mr Red Schoendienst a fast The results of the next games are easy to forecast: If Brecheen
