These Philadelphia ball representatives.
even when minus their contract hurdlers.
know a little about hitting the ball at
opportune times but yesterday they could
not find any of this style of times, and as
a result Case Patten had lots of fun with
them. Case had been back Of the grand
stand before the matinee started, prac-
ticing throwing through horses collar,
and when the first act was called he was
in fine condition for clever perform
ance. He had all sorts of shoots and
curves. and besides. had enough steam to
sell some
When be came TO the bat for the first
time the pitcher was presented with
huge bunch of flowers. tied with white
and green ribbons. with dash of hello
trope thrown in. He showed that he did
not believe in hnodoos by promptly lining
the ball out fer a neat single.
How the Game Was Won.
The locals made their first score in the
opening inning. when Ryan was given a
pass to first, stole second, and scored on
Wolvertons hit back of short field, to
capture which the entire infeld of the
Athletics made an effort. Tallies con-
tinued to come our way in the third in
ming. when Ely hit to center for two
bases, and -gag irrn. diately followed by
Drill with single with Ely cantering
home without the slightest bit of trouble.
Then Patton raped out 4 crack for a
bag, and Drill kept on his way to the
terminal. and got there when Ryan drove
the ball to center. Patten brought in
the third run Of the inning on Kester's
base hit.
1t was a pretty good start. especially
when one run was the best the other fell
lows could do. and Patten was warming
up TO his work with every revolution of
his sturdy left wing
The locals did not do anything more in
the scoring line Until the fifth, when Dele
hanty reached first through the kindness
of Hank Plank ESQ. who had sneaking
idea that the big left fielder was about
due to tear the cover from the ball.
Coughlin's single sent Delehanty TO second
and he had the temerity to purloin the
third ottoman.
The nerve of the thing,
He came home on Carey's hit TO Monte
Cross. which was whisked to second in
plenty of time TO head of the flying Cough
lin.
Again in the eighth Washington brought
two moro runs in. on tripiet to center
the best hit of the afternoon. too. by
the way-by Coughlin. and Carey's double
to left and Drills long fly to Seybold.
The Phillies' Runs.
The visitors secured a lonely tally in
the first inning on Hartzel's hit for two
bases, Ely's misplay on Davis hit, and
Lave Cross fly out to Delehanty.
This wee little score was all the Phil
lies could knock out up to the last
chance they had. when Fultz reached first
on balls, went to second on Davis out
Coughlin to Carey-and reached the
haven of rest when Lave Cross hunted,
the ball going so high in the air that by
the time 1t landed on mother earth the
hitter was on first, where he died.
