The Phillies won their last game Of the
season in Washington at National Park
yesterday by the close score of 4 to 2,
about 1000 spectators watching the Sena-
tors go down to defeat. Good team work
and steadiness landed the game for Phila-
delphia, while the Washingtons destroyed
their superior chances for victory through
stupid base running and poor fielding. The
visitors played all the fine points of the
game and backed them up by fast and ac-
curate work in the field, which, combined
with Pfatt's fine pitching, held the Sena-
tors down to only two tallies.
The game was decidedly lacking in spirit
and interest and proved to be languid ex-
hibtion, in which the uncertainty of the
result and smallness of the score were the
only redeeming features. Although the
Quakers took commanding lead in the
third inning no claim could justly be made
to the game until the finish, as two of
three scores made were unearned and Nc
Faran pitching in great form.
AS usual. the pitchers figured more ex-
tensively in the game and had very even
race. Piatt performed in his customary
manner, working off all his repertoire to
entire satisfaction and besides figured very
prominently at the bat.
McFarlan exhibited more than ordinary
ability in his great manner of holding the
Phillies in check and his perfect control.
He kept them in the stupor east by Dineen
the day before and accomplished the re-
markabe feat of putting Deiahanty out
four times without a hit, twice on strikes
with men on bases. and retired the side
with second and third bases filled, one out
and the head Of the batting order NJ. Del
ahanty has established new record in
the past two days, as in eight times at the
bat he has not made single safe hit.
Both the batting and fielding were de-
cidedly tame except for the individual
work of several players. The triples of
Piatt and Lauder. the home run of Nc
Gam and the double of McFarlan aroused
the only enthusiasm attached to the game.
Dolan made a neat and difficult left-hand
catch of McGann's fly to short right field
in the first, and Cross followed with sew
eral spectacular pickups and lightning
throws.
Washington lost a most excellent chance
to score in the second inning. Freeman
singled but was put out by Cross when
stealing. Stafford followed with a single
and purloined second successfully, but was
caught mapping by Piatt and Cross. and
Barry would have filled the bases on his
four balls.
Piatt opened Philadelphia's third inning
with three-bagger and scored on Thorn
as single. Thomas stole second. Cross
flied out and Delahanty struck out.
Chiles gave Barry a chance to retire the
side. but reached second on his two sue
cessve errors. Thomas scored and Laud-
ers triple sent in Chiles, but the Philies
third baseman was left. Mcfarland going
out from Barry to Mccain.
Dolan's single, Goeckel's sacrifice, and
Thomas single scored Philadelphia's
fourth and last run.
Piatt started again with a safe hit in the
seventh, Thomas hunted perfectly and
Cross moved each one up a sacrifice
Then Delahanty struck out again and
Chles made futile attempt a long fly
to Slagle.
