THE RECORD.

PHILADELPHIA (P L.. IA: NEW YORK Up. L. g.
PHILADELPHIA. May s.-The smallest number
OF spectators at ForepauGh Park this season
saw to-days game between the Philadelphia
and New York clubs. 1t was another chilly
day. too chilly for the comfort OF spectators.
The turnstIles registered 1924. but less than
two-thirds OF that number saw the conclusion
OF the contest. The game was won in the
fourth inning. and from that time until the last
man was retired in the ninth inning there was
not enough enthusiasm to keep the spectators
feet warm. Tho ground was soft and muddy.
and pools OF water were seen all over the field.
When an outfelder ran for ball he did so at
the risk Of an unexpected bath. The right
fielder had the worst time of it. Both O'Rourke
and lIallman carried panks into the field. on
which they stood to gauge the ball. The error
column looms up in great shape. but a glance
at the number OF runs earned gives the key to
the solution as to how the game was lost by
New York. Philadelphia earned but OF its
"A runs. and the majority OF the other were
due to O'Day's llberality in sending mon to
their bases on balls. He had little cause for
COMPLAINT at his support. for Brown and every
member OF the New York Club did their ut
most to give him unhlomshed support
