PHILADELPHIA, Sept 5.-There was a
lovely batting matinee at the Phillies
grounds this afternoon, and yet, outside
Of the jubilation incident to the fact that
the result Of the game, in conjunction with
Baltimore's victory over Boston, enabled
the locals to regain second place, the spec
tators were not carried away by any excess
OF JOY AS q matter of fact, the game was
tediously lcng drawn out. lacking from be-
ginning 10 end the element Of excitement.
Jack Fiheld. released BY the Phillies in the
morning, pitched against his old side part
ners- They showed him no more consid-
GRAFTON than the veriest stranger in their
midst They jumped him for twenty-three
hits. and then, to make matters worse, he
temporarily lost his sense OF location, ten
men walking 10 first on balls The men
behind him also became panicky, and as a
result the Phillies rolled up eighteen runs.
1t was probably well that the Phillies
Jumped Fiield in the rude manner in which
they did, for II turned out that they needed
all the runs which they made. Red Dono-
hue was effective only by comparison with
Fifeld. He was hit hard and often in the
innings in which the Senators did their
scoring, and IL his helders had made a
break Of any kind there Is no telling what
might have come of. Donohue was. how

behind him played the better game in the
feld.
