Bill Hart went the distance at Polo Grounds where the St. Louis Browns beat
the slumping New York Giants by the score of 4 to 3.

St. Louis jumped on top to stay in the top of the 4th inning scoring 2 runs.
Tuck Turner led off and keyed the rally when he tripled, and an error was
also committed, which scored a run.  After an out was recorded, John Houseman
came to bat and drew a walk.  Bill Hallman then called for a steal which was
successful.  Cy Seymour then let a pitch get away from him scoring the final
run of the inning.  New York threatened in the 9th but their rally came up
short.  

The win went to Hart(6-22) who allowed 3 runs in the game. Seymour(13-12) was
tagged with the loss.  'I had a little blister on my index finger before the
game, but I thought it was nothing.' Hart said.  'I was lucky I got a win
because I couldn't put the ball where I wanted it.'
