Fultz Made Great Catch.

Every member of the team shared the
laurels. Fultz distinguished himself by
what was probably the greatest piece of
fielding seen on the home grounds this sea-
SON. In the seventh Clarke drove a long
hit to left center. There seemed not one
chance in a thousand that either Hartsell
or Fultz could get up to it, but Dave
started at the crack of the bat and by
lightning sprinting just barely succeeded
In reaching the ball. He was leaning over
when he caught it, and the impetus sent
him crashing into the fence, but he held
calamity on to the sphere. AS he returned
TO the bench he received a tremendous ova-
t1on which was acknowledged with all his
customary modesty and gentlemanly cour-
tesy.

Infield Also Shone
Inspired perhaps by the outfield, the in
field fairly scintillated. Monte" made three
beautiful stops and throws of apparently
safe hits over second, and Lave Cross
nailed Ely at first a ball that came at
him like streak Of lightning. Murphy
handled several warm ones in fiawless
style, and Harry Davis cut off at least two
Wild throws and one hit by his artistic work
at first. Powers caught another perfect
game, allowing not base to be stolen, and

hit from Powers.
Hastings Did Not Last.
Hastings began the game, but after three
men had reached base, one on called balls
and two on hits. Plank was substituted.
Eddie performed in his usual effective
fashion. and allowed the Senators but seven
hits for the remainder of the game
The Athletics were treated to a surprise
when Voorhees,, formerly of Atlantic City
and the Phillies, went in the box against
them. ICY" did good work, and would
probably have won his game but for the
phenomenal fielding of his opponents.

first. Doyle walked. Ryan and Keister

the Senators were unable to count, though
they twice had men on third.
The home team promptly tied the score In
its half. Fultz reached first on Ey's FUN

three-base hit to left. L. Cross singled and
Davis scored. In the second two more runs
