| Notwithstanding the Phillies We're beaten
| In hollow fashion yesterday by the en-
| cinnatis the Philadelphia papers reserve
| para graphs to praise the work of ex-Sen-
| ator Jimmy Slagle. He and Thomas were
| the stars of yesterdays defeat.
| The absence of Lajoie and Woiverton;
coupled with the disorgan1Zatlon created
by the big Frenchman's fight with Flick,
| is proving a big handicap for the Phillies,
| and they are losing in consequence.
! Jack Doyle and Link Lowe are bringing
, up the rear in percentages at first ana sec
| ond base, yet these two men are "hiiei >
| from A to q.
| When Tom Daily resumed his position at
| second base for Brooklyn In tuesday

| man of the league off that cushion in De
| montreytlle The Washington boy played

| ter Of double plays in the field. Gleason
Davis and Doyle figured in three during
| Fridays game that were pretty DTS OF
| base ball The kid had a big days work on
that occasion to take IT as it ran his way.
| Garvin is the idol of the Chicago fans
| Whenever his name Is on the program the
| attendance increases perceptlply. Inc other
| dav the batteries knocked his curves galley
| west but when another pitcher went In to
| relieve him the audience yelled bloody mur-
der.
| Jennings made a play in the second inning
| Yesterday that was both remarkable ana
| rare Donahue sent a short fly to right,
| which got away from Keeler on the bound.
| Jennings had to run out to right neio 10
| hack IN. and, being behind Keeler. picked
| up the ball and nailed Donahue, who was
| irving to make second on the hit.
| s.This Is going to be a tough season Tor
| the pitchers" remarked Manager Selee last
night mo pitcher can hold his own IN TINS
| league this season with the strong eight
| clubs unless he knows the game and uses
good Judgment in his work. He dare not
| weaken for an instant or let down In any
way. He must work at top speed from start
to finish or expect to be pounded out OF the
| game. With eight clubs all working hard
as they are. the pitchers work becomes
| much harder, for it Is he on whom all eyes
| are centered.
You have probably noticed that there
are fewer bases stolen this season than of
| wore. That is because the pitchers of the
| eight-club league are all more or less I'm
| ished and hold the base runners close to the
hays. A team which has pitchers which
| catchers, too are better. and watching the
| bases better. It is hard work to win games
| these days. 1t keeps a team hustling from
| start to finish.''
