II was cyclone day at the Philadcl-
phia Ball Park yesterday, and two
storms swept over the grounds. The
first one was caused by the Washington
Club, three of whose players made the
circuit of the bases in six innings,
while the "Phillies" were unable to
score" In the seventh inning, however,
as the home club had scored one run
and had begun to bat Persons de-
livery, the wind-storm struck that
section of the city and the game was
called back to the sixth inning. Fer
son had splendid control of the ball
and possessed great speed, while
Mack supported the youngster in ex-
cellent style. Gleason puzzled the
Washington players, but the Senators
were lucky in punching what few hits
they made Fogarty made the star
play of the game by catching Sam
Wise's terrific line hit TO deep left cen
tire field. Shoch made very pretty
running catch in the sixth inning of
Delahanty's short fly behind third base.
Wise played beautiful short stop
game. The visitors started to score in
the third inning, when Hoy hit for
single, was forced to second by
Schoch's base on balls and came home
on Carney's long single to right field.
In the next inning the visitors added
another run to their score. Morrill,
reached first on Hallman's wild throw
of his grounder, went to second on o
sacrifice hit by Donnelly and scored on
Hallman's second error. The Senators
scored their last run in the sixth inning
on Myers base hit, passed ball and
