It would have been a hard task to have
read the MINDS of Stalling's Quakers yes
terday afternoon at National Park, while
they were engaged in a game Of bah With
the Senators. But it is safe 10 surrnise
that many of them were saying unto them
selves, Get thee behind me, Satan"
Friend orth was the twirler for the vis-
itors, and he was bUffeted hither and
thlther in way that would have driven
the everyday pitcher to the bench.
He seemed not to take it to heart, how
ever, as his face was wreathed in smiles
in the thickest of the fray, and he had
more life than any OF the other players.
The Senators prayed that he might not 5e
taken off the rubber, because he fooled
them not. In only one inning did they
fail to hit him, and in a number the
bombasting was furious, and when she
battle ended, nine Senators had trotteti
across the home plate, and only two
Quakers did similar act.
1t was a game made up largely Ct home
runs four of which are to tn e credit OF the
home team. Those of Mcclure, A bbey, and
o'Brien went into the bleachers, while
DeMontreyiIle switched, and sent one
over the left field fence. Tie latter was
aided in the act by Delehanty, who tried
to stop the bah with his No. IL The
spaIding struck the big toe and bounded
into the property Of Freedman's Hospital

those in that vicinity are prepared TO give
evidence that his language was that o. tie

the peaceful oIth kept putting the ball
over the plate and showing his pearl-like
teeth.

took part in remaIkab bly, quick double
play, and another time, with lunner On
first, he knocked down Cooley's hit ever
second and caught the runner ON force
1t was the feature of the game and it took
the ylife out of the Quakers.
O'Brien becomes stronger each game,
both az the bat and in the field. The man
ner in which he touches the runner illus
trates very forcibly that good base stealers
outside the Senators have not been seen
in this mans town of late. And then he
fields, too, in such a fast style that gives
notice to those who slug the ball into his
territory thati is well for him who runs
to read. Yesterday he was the stone wall
that was never battered down.
Gentle Jim Mcclure was like a yearling.
Barring q wild throw he was similar to "A
punching bag for McJames' Texas-steer
pitching. Mac grabbed the balls on either
side anG straddled the South Carolina sap
pling in fashion gratifying to his many
admirers. In the thinning he unused unto
himself: 81, tco, viii land thee, Orth into
the bleaoher," and straightway swishe,l
the leather into the land of happy souls.
Abbey is much like the darky and the
band. He follows the procession, no matter
who leads it, and sometimes, when things
get slow. he forges to the front row and
becomes the starter.
selbach was a long while in getting a
bead on 0rth's uncurved foolers, and in
the seventh, Cooley gave an exhibition of
weakness In Judging balls going over his
head. The German fielder was on third
when the ball was returned.
Reilly had three hard assists, but mas
tered all of them. He batted safely twice
and as many times stole bases. 1t is a
rare sight TO see the fashion-plat baseman
purloin sack, but he made m enkey out
or Jack Boyle in the execution.
But what of Tom Tucker? He put up his
usual snappy game; his voice was full of
volume: his eye keen at bat, but in a
moment of unguarded anxiety he got off
third base too far, and was caught. 1t
was good play for Gillen, stallings'
minor Lacquer, to get putout.
Dowd, the new Philadelphian, has quickly
acquired the slowness for which the big
town is noted He had made nee single,
and then fell victim to what is known MS
the "hidlen ball'' trick, BeMontfeviile and
Tucker being the prestidisitators. The tri *

played in e47, and in each recurring year
one or twoplayers have been the subject Of
