SUCH A SCENE OF ENTHUSIASM

Thus did the erstwhile leaders Of the wrong end
take three games out OF four from the Philadelphia
Club, and start on their way toward better place
than eighth. The result was accomplished by
means OF ODay'S great pitching after the PhillieS
had begun to hit him hard, and by the senator's
batting at the right time. The home team made
IL hits and D errors, and the visitors hits and
errors Daily and Myers each made three hits.
Donnelly strained his left leg when he scored In
the NTH and his place was taken by Murray, who
did 1alry well for man Who does not play third
base.

will take place on the 18th OF July with the Bos-
