PHILADELPHIA, Sept 1S.-The 3.014
spectators who witnessed the Senator'S
farewell appearance here today saw the
Athletics come much closer TO a defeat
than the score would indicate.
Nothing but the most remarkable kind
of work by the home outfielders saved
the day for Macks men and prevented
Washington from going away with a
victory.
Each of the Athletics trio of outgar
den .are-takers robbed Senators of we'll
intended drives for extra bases. Fultz
was particularly prominent.
In the first. with men on second and
first, Fultz pulled down Carey's appar-
entity certain two -bagger. while on the
full run. This cost Washington at least
one run
Senators Have Hard Luck. .
In the seventh, with men on third and
second, Hartsell grabbed Ryan's drive
off the left field fence and two more
tallies were saved. Fultz opened the
eighth with long running catch of
Keisters fly to deep center.
This he followed up by the most
sensational play of the season. Clarke's
smash looked good for home run.
Fultz, however. started with the crack
of the bat and by sprinting at Duffey
gait got close to the ball. Then he gave
q jump, with his hands extended and
the ball clung to his mitt.
1,1f ND hnr,
the catch was made. and for full min
ute stood in his track and gazed out
toward Fultz. The catch was so re-
markable that it fairly took the spec
tators' breath away. and every home
player took off his hat to Fultz. After
this Carey doubled and Lee singled, and
yet no one scored.
Fultz Saves Game.
It was figured that Fultz's catches
saved at least three runs. In the ninth
Seybold got into the calcium light. With
VOORHEES, on first. Seybold robbed Doyle
of a double by pulling Jacks drive of
the score board with one hand. Then
Seybold ran up the track and closed the
game by a fine catch of Ryan's foul. In
addition to these catches, the infield also
made some clever plays that robbed the
Senators OF hits.
Manager Lotus put in .Cy" Voor-
hees, the Philadelphia and Atlantic
City pitcher. Voorhees, work was of
very creditable character. Errors by
Ely and Clarke were responsible for
three of the Athletics runs, but good
hitting produced the others. Davis was
the only one OF Mack's famous sluggers
who was able to solve ''Cy's" delivery.
Plank Sent In.
Hastings started in for the first by
giving Doyle four balls. Singles by
Ryan and Keister scored Doyle. Then
Plank was sent in. and Wild pitch let
Keister score, after Ryan had been
forced out by Clarke. and Fultzs catch
OF Careys drive anchored Clarke.
In the Athletics half, Ely's tumble of
Fultz's grounder was followed by Davis

ting two runs. In the second a single
by NJ. Cross, Powers, and Fultz scored
Two more. Plank tailed in the fifth on
his triple and Hartsells double Muir

getting four balls, through Clarkes wild
thrown and an out The score:
