[St. Louis vs. Athletic 6/15/1889] As soon as the visitors had doffed their jackets Manager Sharsig range the bell for practice and the Browns scampered on the field for the usual unlimbering. As on everything else they do, the visitors entered on the practice with a dash and vim that frequently called out applause.

At 3:30 the gong again sounded and a second later the Athletics, led by stalwart Captain Stovey, emerged from the dressing room, and there given a hearty cheer as they arranged themselves along the line preparatory to scampering off for their positions.
