Loss to Burros Extends St. Louis Losing Streak
Denver got a strong outing from Carl Taylor as the Burros defeated the St. Louis Explorers, 4-1, at Corps of Discovery Stadium. Taylor, now 3-0, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 2, walking 3, and allowing 1 run. Early on, the Burros, at 10-2, have excelled.

Gordy Gregory, the 24-year old catcher , had a direct impact on the outcome. Gregory contributed a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put Denver up, 4-1.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Ray Fleetwood told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
