PHILADELPHIA, July 4.-Before i'm
mense crowds that filled every inch of
available space of American League |
Park, and minus the services of their
most valuable material, the mighty /
Delehanty, Wolverton, Orth and Town
send the Senators twice went down in
defeat today before Connie Macks Ath-
2 letics.
Over 5000 Quaker City lovers of the
national pastine claulored for admission |
to the grounds at the morning game, |
while close on to $1,000 fought and ell
bowed their way through the turnstiles |
to get peep at the afternoon contest.
Rooters Out in Force.
1t was a rip-roaring crowd that had |
come to see the Quakers win and make |
life miserable for the Senators. With |
the dreadful din OF the rooters and the
racket of the fireworks it is little won
der that the Statesmen failed to come |
to time with a victory. Despite the un
favorable conditions under which they |
labored they put up a steady article of
ball and made hit with the crowd
During the afternoon the crowd was |
so great that it completely encircled the |
field, and necessitated a ground rule, a |
hit over the ropes being only good for
two bases. AS result they were plen- |
tiful, the home team corraling seven OF
them, while the Senators secured five.
Rube Touched Up.
Timely stick work by the locals, with |
the inability of the Senators tc find the
curves of one Mitchell, who twirled for
tie Athletics, tells the story of the first |
game. while the second went to the |
Qualers because they pounded Lee for !
keeps. 1t was not before the visitors |
however, used their bats with telling |
effect, and made Rube yaddell wish for
his old stamping ground. They dealt |
with him much more harshly than the |
crippled Oriole. when he pitched in Bal
tinore, but the trusty stick OF Dele
hanty was not there TO keep up the good |
work after Rube had settled down to his
usual pace.
The Athletics captured the MORN
ing contest in the latter half after it /
looked as if Carrick had them scheduled I
for shutout. II came about through |
singles by Davis and Lave Cross. which |
followed a free pass to first given Hart
zell.
The single tally of the Senator's came
In the opening inning when Schreck
dropped a throw at the plate that look
ed as if it had Jack Doyle figured in
the out column. The ex-Giant by
clever slide, however, upset the calcu-
lations of the Atheletics.
Jack also distinguished himself in right
field, where he vas considerably wor-
ried by the crowd. Through a fast run
ming catch he saved two runs, the ball
being labelled for the crowd with two
on the bases.
Cross Had a Kick.
Lave Cross also tried to rattle the
veteran by calling attention of the UNI
pire to the size of his glove. Before
quiet could be restored the arbitrator Of
strikes and balls had TO hunt up a tape
measure, and when the work was over
Doyle was minus his favorite glove. It
being over sized Then to show that
spirit Of brotherly feeling which becomes
part of all pail players after they join
either of the Quarker outfits, Lave ten
dered the use of the base glove with
which he stops hot grounders and the
game continued on its way.
1t remained for the battle royal in
the afternoon. however, to tickle the ap-
petite of the thousands of fans 1t
gave them a chance to root, and they
made the best of II. After the Sena-
tors had pounded Waddell in vicious
style, making him look like an un-
clean deuce, the locals started in TO
find the ball.
With the score to In favor of Lof-
tus' pets 1t looked safe, but at the end
OF the fifth three singles and a double
placed the Athletics total at l.
Eighth a Nightmare
Then came the awful eighth. that will
