Record:-in d seven-iunng contest the
Philadelphia batsmen used up lour SeDa-
tOriai pitchers and won the as game OF the
series win tie greatest ease. The Phillies
had Their batting lamps trimmed and every
member OF the team raped out one or
more safe hits, Hulen, DeisnaDty aud Cross
"a kInk III his knee, so DeIahanty went TO first
and Geier covered left field.
1t was d toss up between Ia ylor and Car
sey TO who should go into the box and
Taylor was placed on duty. In the early
part of the game he was touched up sharp
Iy and the Senators looked for Il few mIu
utes ike winners. In the second inning
Norton, who started ID to pitch, was hit
Tor three bases and two runs, whereupon
he was wIthdra wn and German substituted.
Throughout the balance OF the game there
was a constant shuiiling up Of the pit tcherS
and extra hatSfnen i'll the Senatorial ranks
and i'll the meantime the Phillies captured
commanding lead. After the changes
commenced there was never any question
as To how the game would terminate, and
IT, was robbed of all interest by the listless
fielding CT the local team. The errors
made by usually reliable players were
very numerous.
TAYLOR did not escape without trouble,
for he was hit freely, but not ConsecutiveIy.
DeMontreville and O'Brien each secured u
home run ana a single in spite OF The |ne-
sided score. The FIELDING features were
two lightning-lke double plays, III which
Smith, h,-DeMontrevillc, O'Brien aud Cart
wright participated, and the brilliant work
of Hulen.
The game was a farcical one. Manager
SchmelZ in his dilemma utilizing fifteen of
his players.
Times: Manager Schmelz trotted out
fifteen Senators to do business with the
Phillies and to check their onslaught,
and vet they We're beaten. The PhillieS
had on their batting clothes and annihilated
four of the Senatorial twirerS in the seven
innings that were played. There were no
Others at hand or perhaps they might
have had more to face: Every man for
philadelphia hit the ball safe one or more
times, while Taylor was hit in but one
inning. the first. after which he pitched
mastery ball. The attempt of the Senators
to play the game was absolutely farcical,
Dnd the less said the better. Philadelphia,
on the other hand, fielded well. LaJoie
was put on the bench, Delahanty going to
first, and Geier given chance in left
field The youngSter fumbled the first
ball hit to him and then threw wild. He
was uveranXious to do something, how
ever, and was bit nervous.
Inuuirer:-The Phillies were easy win
ners in an alleged game OF ball, more ap-
propriately designated a circus, with Man
ager SChmclz for ringmaster aud his hired
men for clowns. The Phillies fattened
their batting averages and won the game,
which was about as much credit as TO gam
n victory over any of the mines who toss
the ball on the vacant lots OF the Quaker
City.
ScnmelZ seemed to think that the Phillies
were a gcol crowd TO experiment IN, and
so he tried four twirlers in succession,
and three emergency batterS. making
fifteen men in the game on the local side.
II the pay roll had been longer and day
light hal held ont the Quakers would have
been scoring yet.
Itcm:-Gee whiZ!
Twenty base hits!
Earl Wagner smiled!
The Phillies' bats were worn ont!
Where was Jack Taylors bal inning!
