fifth victory. The score was to 0. Billy

him. was equal to any ever seen on a
baseball field He was as impossible Of

ing the sum total wedged In against him.
and while two of them were in one in
ming. the perfect support accorded
Dineen would not allow a man to cross
the rubber. In another case a free trip
was followed by a single. Then Criger' $
snap throw to Collins caught Leach off
third base and ended the inning.
Philippe has been the strong right
arm OF the Pirates the whole series. All
the victories for his side have gone to
him, and having had a two-days lay-off
it was thought that he would be able to
tie the series today, and compel Boston
TO go the limit.
Philippe Was Easy.
The Deacon was just as easy OF solu-
ton as he was Saturday in his home
town, eight hits being reaped off him
1t was well for the Bostons that they
won. There were many who could not
