and the Phillies developed regular
comedy OF errors. Especially was this
true OF the Senators, who put up game
In the field that would put lots OF players
to the blush. or course, some allowance
can and should be made for theiT crippled

errors that can be scored, but they also
turned up i'll the way OF errors OF omis-
sion. With Reilly out OF the game, Wrig

and Swain entrusted with the baL. No
part of the defeat can be laid at the
ianky pitchers door, for he held the

MANY OF the hits scored against him came
after chances had been offered to retire
the side But in his support he had the
worst any set of paid players could pos
sibly give him. Tucker could neither catch
OF stop ball. Mcguire was too strong

to do with tie ball after he got 1t.
