The ball game at the Polo Grounds yesterday would
have been considered ideal exhibition but for the
party feeling which shows cODspeuously IN sport
Of this kind. But the Giants did not win, hence there
IS no occasion for any great rejoicing or celebration
The Giants tried hard enough but they did not Know
how and they again compelled 20 submit not only
to thrashlng but TO that record called "whtewash
which Is thrown dlsdanfully at teams which DO not
score a run. But the Giants have been In that con-
dition before consequently there IL nothing wonderful
about It,
The Quakers applied the whitewash quickly,
thoroughly and emphatlcally, and there you are Gore
and O'Rourke the only New-ioK Players VINO
made any apprecabe objection TO the application OF
the whtewash brush. The other seven Giants simply
bowed to Esper's left handed curves and sat down.
Left-handed pitchers were always trrrors to New
YOrks great players. Fortunately f0r ule local
teams record IL has not run up against many south
paw" pitchers this year.
Ruse pitched splendid game Of ball and two OF
the six hits made BY the Quaker City men were
scratches lie had excellent control Of the ball. and
although he did not strike ont single batshah' an
unusual thing with him. he did not send man to brst
on balls which is equally as an occurrence The

1t ia said that the City Fathers intend still further
to persecute the local club. II was rumored al ue
grounds yesterday that the Aldermen would insiSt
upon the local management taking out theatrical
license. What relation baseball has to theatrcais Only
ahat august body seems TO know. The Aldermen one
succeeded in driving the club out OF New ork
and they seem determined TO try ii over again
The playing from the start was quick and sharp ana
both pitchers did so well that the first half Oh the
game was played in about thlrtyive minutes, neither
side scoring a run and not man getting as fsr aS
third base. The Giants the first TO give way
under the strain and the visiting men scored the INST
run Of the game In the fifth inning. Shindle sent
line drive to right which Tiernan made great run
for but after he got there he dropped the ball
passed ball enabled Shindle to get TO second linen
Harry Wrights tactics into play. Brown made
neat sacrifice, putting Shindle Oh third, ana
similar play by Allen enabled Shindle TO score
The Philadelphia men made the only other run OF
the game In the eighth inning. Hamilton maze
scratch bunt but the ball bounding Just out OF RuSies
reach Ruslc tried T. cat tn Hamilton at FIRST but Connor
muned the throw, and the neetfOOted Quaker made
tracks for second. Thompsons sacrifice put Hamilton
on third and he scored on Clements little pop up
hit which dropped Just back of the short stops
