Especial 10 The Times. }


Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. IA cool wave
overspread the city of Brotherly Love just
prior to the calling OF the first game and
spectators who occupied seats in Col.
Rodgers magnificent grand stand found
overcoats not at all uncomfortable.
The crisp bracing air, however, had a
gingery effect on the players and they Were
exactly to their taste.
The double bill and the fact that the home
club might move two pegs nearer the Temple
cup induced a large number of people 10 ex-
change their quarter and half dollars for
the blue and red pastboard gate openers.
The crowd at O'Clock numbered 5000,
and by the time five innings had been
played over 1900 people were within
the gates. The great crowd was sight
to see. -u
A clouded sky made good fielding pos
tible and easy, compared to sunny day
at this park. The Philadelphia people are
extremely loyal to Irwin's men at this
time, and are pulling hand for them to
gain second place and tight with the
pennant winners for the coin and honor
offered by Mr.. Temple, OF Pittsburg.
PHILLIEs ARE FAIR.
Yet the Philadelphia crowd is fair, the
fairest in the League perhaps, aud the
good plays of visiting clubs are always
heartily applauded- This courteous treat:
ment is no doubt responsible for the null
titudes of friends the Phillies have in
other cities.
Having no old seasoned pitchers availa-
b!e Manager SchnIclz was forced to re-
sort to his youngster list. and Moles worth,
The recruit from the Cumberland Valley
League, was the selection.
Manager SchnielZ thought IT best to use
him III the first. and have osweIl and Boyd
for the last game Philadelphia. CON
trary to their usual custom, took the bat in
The first inning.
Manager Irwin estimated that the Wash
ngton youngster was unsteady, but he got
fooled SO far as that half inning was
oncerned. Hamilton. the first man up,
aruck out, and DelehaBty and Cross, the
Iext two batters, were easy outs at first.
But that was the extent of Molesworth's
good work. He went up in the air in the
second inning, and never got back ain
llt tut liIt Ilbul
bleachers md the bombardment ofthe heavy
hitting Phillies, and in the seventh inning
he was retired to the bench, Boswell ia king
his place.
Molesworth evidences strong points and
will no doubt become a valuable man.
He should not be judged by his poor showing
on his first appearance in the big league,
and that, too, before the largest crowd he
ever saw and against the hardest hitting
club in the business.
FARED LITTLE BETTER.
More experienced pitchers than he have
gone down before the same odds. Boswell,
who succeeded M0leswurtb Jared little
better. The Phillies had their eyes square
on the ball, and no pitcher could have
stemmed the tide.
Hit followed hit, and Abbey, Brown and
Selbach chased their legs off. The locals
gathered twenty-one runs in the course of
the nine innings, and it was with their bats
that they scored them.
The Senators played a neat, clean field
ing game, and it was no failure In that de-
partment that made the score so one-sided
or lost the contest. The score tells the
story without going into details.
In the seventh inning, with the game easy
in hand, White and Buckley were substi-
'uted as Philadelphia's battery. White
was no puzzle to the Senators and was
liberal with bases on balls, but the game
was too far gone to pull it out of the fire
at that stage.
This being Boswelps former home and
the scene of his triumphs as pitcher for
the University Club, he was given a great
ovation by the crowd when be succeeded
Molesworth in the seventh inning.
The score.
