cheek bone broken by one of the spectators
1t was in the Philadelphia's half of the
eighth, after eight runs had been scored by
hard hitting and no one was out. The Bos.

simply let the Philadelphia players walk
around the bases. Delhanty stepped:out OF
the box and made a foul strike on pupose
Thompson, to end the agony ran from
first across the diamond to third, being out
for not touching secoLd. When the Bostons
came in they would not take the bats but
forfeited the game to Philadelphia by 9

and chased the Boston players to the dress
ing rooms. A squad of officers had to be
sent for to take them to their coaches. At.

the first and eleven in the eighth: Boston
made one each in the fourth and seventh.
