The Washington team said farewell to
! over $500 cranks yesterday afternoon In
the most approved and up-to-date fashion,
when they thrashed the Philadelphia
Athletics and caused Connie Mack, the
Quaker manager to throw seven differ
ent kinds of fits over on the players
| bench.
Up to the last inning everything went
the visitors way, and, figure as they
would, the Pennsylvanians could not see
how they were to be cheated out of an
other victory. Fraser was in splendid
form and luck was right with the Phillies,
and although the locals were able TO get
any number of men on bases they could
not get them past the rubber that desig
mates the home plate. The crowd was
seemingly more interested in the extra
editions Of the papers containing reports
of the Bonine confession than in the out
come of the game, for everybody had
come to the conclusion that there was
but one possible result, and the last half
was Witnessed more out of courtesy to
the home team than anything else. But
those twenty-five hundred patrons of the
sport saw a finish that was of the kind
that makes the game dangerous for per
sons afflicted with weak hearts. 1t was
wind-up that was even good as the
second game with the Athletics, when
the Meaningless won out in driving

enough slaps on the back and tell him
he was all right, old boy,' and that
they all knew he was due for this sort of
a hit. No one paid the slightest attention
that up to the moment he made his
hist orical drive that sent in the win
ming run the Washington captain had
been regarded much In the light of |
a dub by the tickle bleacherites and
the advisory committee of the Knock |
ers' Coterie had recommended that he
be made the object of a special meet |
ing of the organization. AS a matter of |
fact, Everett had not been doing much in |
the hitting line for some time, and it was |
therefore much in the nature of a glad |
some surprise that the wildly enthusas- |
tic fans saw the ball depart from his bat |
and sneak in the direction of left field, |
while DUNCAN romped home with the run |
that did the business and sent the Phila- |
delphians home in anything but a joyous |
frame of mind, and caused Fraser to |
wish that he had not imploreds to be sent |
in against the Senatorial aggregation |
simply because he was feeling strong and
a bit cheSty. Fraser will doubtless long
remember the reception the local men
handed him in that last inning of yester-
day while his cOnfrereS will take an
extra hitch in their belts and get an in
lection OF tabasco the next time they
stack up against James Mannings young |
men in the final inning of q game.
The home representatives had not been
playing a particularly good game when !
they came to the bat in the last inning,

dence that Coughlin swung on one Of
Fraser's outshootS only to send IL skip
ping along rather weakly to Lajoie who
ielded il in time to get the Senator at

hing TO distinguish himself, but he was
game even in the face of almost assured
iefeat. He thought II was worth taking
chance and landed on a swift, straight
ball and bumped it against the adver-
