Weyhing's Deceptive Delivery.
As usual, weighing was effective yesterday
against the Senators. At only one time did the
home club have a chance-that was in the third
inning, and runs were scored aud the lead OBJ
tanned But any sort Of hitting would have
scored twice as many runs. 1t was speedily
shown that nothing could be done with his
delivery. Esper. on the other hand, proved
easy. The result would not have been SO dis
astrous II he had not sent 30 many to first on
balls.
The Senators made desperate effort to hold
the visitors In check. and they partially did
for the first three innings. but in the last half
OF the third, with the score 8 to against them,
the Quakers opened at q lively rate on Esper
and hammered his delivery for four runs. Della
hanty singled and Mailman by a sacrifice ad-
vanced him to second. Cross then drove q
grounder at Sullivan and the ball bounded over
his head to O'Rourke, which enabled Delahanty
to score, the batter going tosecond on the play.
Sharrott bit safely to left field and Cross made
a great slide for the plate. A base on balls to
Allen, followed by singles from weighing and
Hamilton. enabled Sharrott and Allen to dance
on the rubber.
From that point on the Senators were never
in the game, and it was question Of how many
runs the Phillies would make before they grew
weary.
1t was in the seventh that the Phillies drove
Esper out Of the box and enabled O'Rourke to
6i'S oiuh. PitCuot ucioubiuk 70 the NaeuinS-
ton Athletic Club, who pitched against the
WashinRtons in the spring, trial in the box.
Before Esper retired Delahanty made a long
drive down the right foul line, and as the ball
bounded over the low fence he made a circuit
OF the bases. Radford claimed that the ball
struck foul, but Umpire Snyder ruled other
wise. Mailman was given his base on balls and
Cross drove him home on four-bagger to the
left center field fence. Clements' single, Rad
ford's muff Of Sharrott's fy, Aliens hit and
STRIKERS fnilure to handle Weyhing's grounder
and Delahanty's second hit in the inning scored
Clements, Sharrott and Allen With six runs
and nobody out Graf replaced Esper and the
Phillies' run getting was temporarily stopped
Hamilton forced Wey hing at second. Thompson
retired at frrt on grounder to Sullivan, and
then Delahanty sent Hamilton home, only to be
forced out at second by Mailman.
Cross made the last run Of the game in the
seventh on error Of Wise, Clements' single and
Sharrott's fv out to Hoy
Considerable bowling was done on the bleach
ers over Snyder's decisions. The order regard
ing noise on the bleachers is dated the 27th,
and the enthusiasts there doubtless thought
that they had license to do as they pleased up
to that time 1t is unfortunate that Snyder
should have seen ft to give all the close decisions
against the home team, but he doubtless gave
them as they appeared to HIM, in his wish to
give PhA1elphia a square deal. The mistake
was In assigning him to umpire here. He

work 10 highly praised. Emslie should have
been Aept here. President Young was guilty O,
something rare for him-an error Of Judgment
