PHILADELPHIA, July 24-The home team de-
feated the Pittsburgers to-day by superior bat
ting and fielding The battery errors of the
Athletics, however, were plentiful, and material
~ aided the visitors in getting their six runs.
The finish was quite interesting, the Athletics
making two runs in the last inning, when the
one with two men on bases, when Shomberg was
retired at first by Bierbaur. A singular play oc-
Cured in the Athletics first inning. O'Brien,
Larkin and Coleman were on bases with one
base, the ball striking O'Brien on the leg and
glancing off to foul field. Gleason, who was
coaching the home team, thinking the ball foul,
stopped it. and threw it to Whitney. The latter
threw to Barley, who touched Larkin and also
touched second base bag. The umpire declared
O'Brien out for being hit with the batted ball,
and Larkin and Coleman as being forced out. AS
