Especial to The Timcsl
Philadelphia, July I.-Scrappy Bill Joyce
was so sore prior 10 leaving for wash
ington that TO say bail game" to him
was to invite an explosion compared to
which the pyrotecimicai display preya-
lent III the City or Brotherly Love was as
a tallow dip to an arc light.
The description of the game. which
follows. will explain Scrappy's narrowed
and Cannon-cracker feelings.
With the game in hand and won so
easily that the Philadelphia end of ii was
a farce. an error by McAuley and a pro
of good luck for the locals changed the
whole ,uation and turned the garlands
of victory into the ashes OF defeat.
The game had progressed TO the last
half of The sixth inning. The score stnod
Washington IA, Philadelphia 8. Then
the trouble commenced. With one run
scored. two men ON bases. and two hands
out Hulen singled to right center. Lush
threw tne bah to the plate but McAuley
let it go through him and it rolled into
the pia yers room under the Crand stard.
Clements and Nash, who were on the
bases. came home. and Hulen followed
them.
FELL ON SILVER KING.
This piro of luck rejuvenated the hthertn
Iistless Quakers and they fell onto Silver
King like thousand furies and batted
out enough rurs to tie the score before
the third man could be retired.
Tom Brown was injured in the morning
game and Jimmy Rogers essayed TO play
center, but the sun was too much for him,
and he exchanged fields with SelbaCh. 1t
was just the Senators bad luck for Tom
10 get crippled at this particular time.
Though Rogers did his best, his inex-
perience in the outfield cost several runs
during the fusilade OF hitting. King was
hatted SO freely in the sixth that Joyce
pulled him out, and substituted Ger
man, who finished the game in good style.
Taylor started in to pitch for Phils
delpha, but was so erratic and sulky, and
was hit SO hard by the Senators that Capt.
Nash retired him to center field in the fifth,
calling Mertes to second and sending Billy
Halman to the box. So hopeless did Nash
consider the game that he did not call on
one or his regular pitchers to try to save
the day. Yet, at this time, the Phila
delphias are out OF pitchers, and Nash
had no substitute for Taylor except Kee-
nan, who had pitched Friday, and Carsey,

morning.
But after the lucky sixth inning with the
score tied, and chance to win. Carsey was

to su ccess which, if it was unexpected, was
the more gratifying to the large audience
which had enthusiasm and fireworks to
burn.
KING DID NOT LOSE IT.
King was batted very hard, He lacked
speed, though he had good control. When
ever he wouli put tile BAH over the plate, a
Quaker would knock the cover off OF it.
Fast fielding by Lush and Selbach saved
many drives from going safe.
But Silver did not lose the game;
the Senators had runs to give away until
McAuley let Lush's throw escape him and
go bounding into the dark little room under
the vast grand stand. That accident or
error, or both, turned the tide against the
Senators and no pitcher could havestemmed
the flood which followed. 1t was luck for
Philadelphia, but McAuley made the luck
possible.
The particular features of the Senators
game was Lusii's great fielding and Cart
wriglt's fast work ut first base, and the
territory surrounding.

inning tha saved two runs, and Cart wright
