10 the causes OF uelelI, OF Whatever may
have been the opinions Of the spectators in
general on the matter, the fact remains that
King Himself Was Responsible
for two runs and his catcher was to blame
for another. This fact somewhat modif1es
the charge OF the Phillies bringing with
them a Jonah influence to this city.
But despite the fact that the home men
We're beaten, and despite the fact of errors
and mistakes, the contest was an exciting
one It was one of the pins-and-needles kind;
neck and neck almost from the start. That's
the sort OF argument that cranks like to see.
Once the visitors had the boldneSs to go to
the front by two runs. but this lead was only
maintained for an inning, and shortly after
ward the score was tied. Certainly this was
very exciting, and what added more to the
excitement was the fact that i'll no inning
was more than one run made.
Shugart. the new shortstop from Mime
spolis appeared. and did very well, indeed.
He was not long in getting into favor with
the occupants of the blea chers, and when
he made his three-bagger, he sent the cranks
wild. But the wildness of that moment wns
nothing compared to the wildness Mt the
stage when he brought in the run that tied
the score. This was pleasing to see, par
ficuarly, because of the young mans first
appearance here. But he also nelded well,
and on one occasion made a very pretty
pickup and throw. He had not many diff
Cul: chances, it is true, but what chances he
had he accepted in manner that leads one
10 believe that he will 1ik the bill He rs ap-
laftnllN an 10sSSunllnR llUlle lellON, anu
the probabilities are that he will be great
1aVOrIUe here.
Played Very Good Game.
The Phllies played a very good game, and
Esper, the left handed man, pitched with
very great effect. lie was puzzler to
DeCkley who bats left-handed. Shugart is
also a left-handed batter, but he changed
sides on Mr.. Esper. The latter was tolerably
well supported, but two of the three runs
made Off his delivery were earned. The out
neldcrs supported Esper very well.
At one or two stages of the game there
were very hostile demonstrations against
Umpire Lynch. Twice or thrice his de-
cisions did not harmonic with the expecta-
lions Of 4 number of the spectators, and
quite = scene followed. To say the least this
kind of conduct is not fair to an umpire with
the reputation of Mr.. Lynch. 1t is possible
that he may have been wrong, but he has
always two sides to consider when he makes
81 decision. and no umpire ever lived who
was or Is more impartial than Mr.. Lynch.
And his judgments are so often right and he
Is In a positlon TO judge so much
better than any of us far removed
from the diamond that our feelings
ought tn be curbed when his views
OF play are contrary to ours. He is an
able. fearless and impartial man and the
probabilities are that the spectators are
ottener wrong in their Judgment of a close
play than he is. Depend upon it, he is too
able n man to he treated as part of yester-
DAYS crowd treated him.
IIRun getting commenced in the first inning
u.

much was expected. But Jake struck out,
