| and strikes were uniformly good and
satisfying and there were few objections
registered against their view of the plays.
Patten was in the box for the Senators
and he put up a mighty good game. The
Philadeiphias have earned the name of
being something extra in the line of hit
ters but with such sluggers as Lajoie,
/ Cross, Seybold, and Hayden not being
able to do much destruction, il will be
readily understood what sort of game
the hero of the murder trial put up. His
delivery was steady and throughout the
afternoon he only gave one base on balls
while he struck out five men There were
several brilliant plays made by the locals
a catch by Coughlin in the first inning
being decidedly out of the ordinary. Cross
hit short one in the direction of short
field 1t was cutting through the atmos-
phere at the rate usually ascribed to the
Empire State express when 1t is out for
a record and TO have its photograph taken.
Coughlin ran over in the direction the
! ball had taken and by some miraculous
means managed to throw up his right fin.
When he found that the sphere had stuck
in his hand he was perhaps as much sur
prised as any of the spectators Foster
in left, made a pretty catch of fly that
landed just back of short field. The ball
was secured only after a hard run, and
the play was rewarded by d round of ap-
plause.
Manager Mack put in a youth named
Milligan to do the pitching for his side.
Milligan is about good twirler as his
name sake, Jack Miligan, was d backstop
during his palmiest period, which will
give the rooter an idea of what sort of
pitt ler this young man is. He had the
lcc1.. fellows thoroughly fooled during the
cary part of the contest, and they did not
get anything that resembled hit until
the nth and then the banging was mostly
OF the desuitoTy order, about one hit in an
inning, and that usually after two men
were out or when there We're no home
men on the bags.
In the fifth Coughlin raped out pret-
ty nit and then got around as far as third
on Clingmans single. a wild pitch helped
him 10 reach horne, and the first run of
the afternoon was chalked up against the
Senators. There was no more scoring
done by our hired men until the ninth,
when the crowd was ready to make a
dash for the street cars. Gear was the
first man up. He knocked high fly to
HAYDEN The crowd marked 1t as an out
on their score cards long before the ball
had any idea OF descending. Hayden got
under il all right and opened his paws to
trap the sphere. For some unknown rea-
son, presumably because he wanted to
help the local fellows along a bit, he later
on decided that IL would be an act of
charity and an evidence of good fellow
ship TO drop the ball. so he let il glide
gracefully and amateurishly through his
hands. Quinn lined out bingle 10 centre,
and Gear found himself planted on second.
The best that Sir William Coughlin
could do was to fly out TO Fultz. Then
Clingman hit ar easy one to Lajoie the
best touted second baseman in the coun-
try. Larry" tried to wipe the butter
from the middle of his fielding glove, but
ne uld not nave time TO accomplish the
effort before the bail was upon him, and
the exhibition Of Juggling that he gave
would have made the head of the August
family turn green. In the meantime Gear
was permitted to get across the plate and
the crowd became immensely interested in
the proceedings II promised TO be an
old-time finish. Patten is not considered
much of a hitter. although he did cause
CONSERVATION among the Senatorial ranks
in the seventh by making a base hit said
to be the third in six years. and on ac-
count of this deficiency Col. Wyatt Lee
was sent to bat in his place Colonel Lee
had been adorning the bench during the
afternoon and in consequence his lamps
were not properly trimmed. The hit he
made landed near Laioie and was well
taken care of. Here, with two men out
with two men on bases, the proposition
that the locals were up against was de
cidedly a stiff one. Farrell assisted very
materially in solving it when he knocked
a two-bagger, on which Quinn scored.
The score was now to g. in favor OF
the Athletics. and we still had Clingman
and Farrell on the cushions Then it was
that Captain Bill Clarke made good with
a vengeance. he picked out a beauty in
the shape of a slow out curve and smash
centre. Nobody paid any particular at
tention as to where il landed The main
point was that the hit permitted Cling
man and Farrell TO score and TO win the
game. Then IL was that Clarke was
mobbed by his friends and admirers and
the game was suddenly brought to an
end, suddenly that Connie Mack fell
from the bench and Pitcher Milligan inno-
Gently asked: "It Is all over?' And some
one answered, Yes, Patsy all but the
cheering; listen TO the shouts Of the
pleased people?'
Lajoie scored the Athletics first run in !
the second inning and in the next FultZ |
made another for his side. Mllligan's /
fuke homer in the fifth increased the |
Philadelphia score. and they made their /
last run in the ninth, when La joie opened /
with a double and was sent across the |
plate on Seybolds single.
