sterday was what is known as Ladies'

Yesterday was what Is known as Ladies
day. at National Park, but after the con-
test between the Washingtons and Phiia-
deIphias, which the home club won by the
score of to 8 In the tenth inning, every
body voted it Tommy fuckers day."
Tucker has had long and varied exper-
ierce on the ball field, but it is undoubtedly
true that the pugnacious first sbaseman
never in his base ball career played such a
game as he did yesterday, or contributed
as much toward winning game. In the
eighth inning Tucker put the Senators in
the game with a nice two-bagger; in the
tenth he kept his team there by making
great stop at first base with runners on
second and third, and in the same inning
Tommy didn't do thing but knock the
ball into the right-field bleachers for
home run after two were out and the game
tie. Tucker always plays ball to the best
of his ability, and this ability has been Of
a high order the past season in Washing
ton, but yesterday was Tommy's day TO
shine. and the halo that surrounded MIN
was of dazzling brightness.
Silver" King was on the rubber for the
Senators, and in the face of such batting
aggregation as the Phillies his work was
very good. His delivery was punished to
the tune of eleven safe hits, but in only
two innings could the visitors bunch their
bingles. In the second they drove two
runs across the plate, and in the eighth
three more runs were placed to their credit
Outside of'these two innings Kings cross
fire delivery puzzled the Quakers.
F'ifield did the honors for the visitors,
and also pitched good game, all things
considered, but his Waterloo came in the
eighth and tenth innings. Tucker and
DeMopt. found his delivery very much to
their liking, the former getting three hits
a single, double and home run-while
the latter had to be satisfied with three
singles.
Another notable feature. outside of
fuckers playing was the asinne work of
third base in the second inning. Nobody
doubts the earnestness of Mr.. Stallings,
but when he goes out of his way to inter-
fere with the players who are in their posi-
tion playing ball to such an extent as to
result in almost serious injury, the severest
condemnation is deserved. Such tactics as
pulling a player out Of the way of run
ner- going out of the coaching box to &C
ctmpiish this purpose, may be legitimate
work in the minor leagues, but in the Ma
tic nal League sayors very much Of rowdy-
ism Cross was coming toward third at his
topmost speed when Stallings grabbed hold
of Nrigley and gave him such push that
threw him right in the way of the rum
ner and collision occurred. Both men
were stunned for minute, and 1t looked
for minute as If Wrigley was out for
good.
Farrell and Brown rushed at Stallings
hut their better judgment came to the res
cue, saving the Reuben manager from at
Least one good upper-cut in the region Of
the mouth, his strongest point as a man
ager- 1t was noticeable thing tina: the
Quaker players permitted Stallings to fight
his battle alone.
Neither side scored in the first inning but
in the second the visitors chased two tai
lies across the plate. Cross got in a nice
single to left and went to third on Nash's
hit in the same direction, the latter get
ting second account of the mix-up at
third on Stallings' Interference. McFar-
lands nice double brought them home. In
The third. after the Quakers had been shut
out, the Senators got one of these back.
Abbey met good and hard and sent 1t
into left center for three bases, and scored
on Cross error of Kings hit. In the fourth
the home club tied the score. De Montre-
Vile hit into left for a single, was sacri-
feed to second and went to third on Tuck
er's out to Lajoie pretty piece of base
running. Fifeld then obligingly made a
wild pitch and De Mont raced home
Neither side scored in the fifth, but in
the sixth the Quakers went to the fore
with one run. Two were out when Shu-
CART came to the bat and he quickly I'M
did the tie 10y sending the ball into the
right-field bleachers for a home run. The
seventh was fruitless for both sides, but
the eighth was full of excitement and runs,
the Quakers getting three and the home
club four. Dowd led off with double into
left ard came home on Delehanty's single
in the same direction. Shugart's three
bagger into deep left scored Del, and Shu-
CART scored on Cross out at first.
This lead looked bad for the Senators, but
they got back at the visitors good and
hard. Wrigley hit into right for nice
single, went to second on Kings single to
center and home on Seibachs single to
left, King going to third the hit. On
Browns foul out, Setback went to second
De Mont then came to the rescue with a
nice single into left, and the two men
ahead of him scampered home fuckers
| timely double then drove De Mont home
and the score was tied.
The tenth was a blank, and 1t looked as
If the eleventh would result the same way.
Two were out when Tucker came to the
bat. 1t reminded one of Casey at the
Bat. 1T was SO different. The second ball
suited Tommy and he cut loose with all his
strength, and the game was over when the
sphere brought up in the bleachers amidst
! the yelling, shouting and handclapping of
| the spectators. a
Kelly umpired another good game, and
will no doubt be assigned to a permanent
