GRAHAM'S GREAT SLUGGING
CERTAINLY HELPED SOME.
WAYMON HARMON WILL PITCH IN

". M. c. A. Boys Say They VIII DO
All They Can TO Put IL on the
sleepy Quakers-COntest Promises
to BE Much More Interesting Than
the Game Last Saturday - Two
Games Have Been Arranged with
the Soldiers for Next Week.
The Yannigans gave the Phillies a
hard game out at Bolton Street Park
yesterday afternoon, and with 1T
tie more smuggling, such as was put up
by George Graham, who can rap and
run, as we'll as write and run, the Yam
nigans would have put it all over the
regulars. The final score was to
in favor of the regulars, and Manager
Duffy was in cold perspiration for
fear that his pets would be beaten.
Fraser Mitchell and Lush, the new
twirlers did the box work for the
regulars, and breckenridge. McPher-
son and Barry did the pitching act for
the Yannigans. The game was fast
and snappy from start to finish, and
the PhiIlies demonstrated to the large
crowd of enthusiastic fans present that
they have one of the fastest fielding
aggregations in the business.
Lush. the new southpaw, has not
been doing so well since he came South.
Lush has good speed, and good benders,
but his delivery is too high up to be
as effective as it is possible for him
to make it. With the underhand de-
livery, or even a lowering of the de-
livery position, six or seven inches in
the forearm would add much to the
pitching ability of the southpaw. Duffy
is now coaching Lush in this style of
delivery, and he may yet prove TO be
with his left underhand delivery, what
McGinnity is with his right under
hand.
George Graham, sporting editor of
the North American, who takes the
flight southwark with the Phillies
every year, is the star third bag man
for the Yannigans, and the way he
smites the horsehide would be a lesson
to any of the bag punchers.
Duffy Has Decided on Line Up.
In the game against the Y. M. c. A
boys to-day Manager Duffy win line
the Phillies UP just as they will enter
into the Championship season, with the
exception of Douglass, who will be at
first He has not yet arrived. Kid
Gleason will rag it out at second, Huls-
worth at short, Capt Wolverton at
third, Roth, Doom and Marshall doing
the receiving, Barry left field, Thomas
center field, and Titus right field. The
other two outfielders are Fleming and
Rafferty,, and no doubt both OF these
will be retained, as they have shown
up we'll in the preliminaries.
The pitching staff has not yet been
thinned out. There are twirlers now
in the anxious seat. Dugglesby, Mitch
ell, and perhaps Sparks, are certainly
to be retained, and If the other boys
show up we'll two or three more selec-
tons may be made. The pitching staff
will be divided up in the game with
the association players to-day
Games for Next week.
The Phillies will play the Fort
Screven team two games next week,
Tuesday and Wednesday. The fort
boys will use their own batteries and
say that they will give the profess
SIGNALS hard struggle. Warner, the
star southpaw on the Artilerymens
team last year will pitch the first
game, and Crosley will do the slab
work in the second
The line up of the soldiers is the !
same as last year, with the exception
of Smith, catcher, who was discharged
some time ago. The men who will
play this season are as follows: Wer-
ner and Crosley alternating between
pitching and second; Blackan, first
base; Wagnon, third base; Seibert
short stop; Jones, right field; Dobson,
center field; Watts left field, and Vine
or Campbell, catch.
The soldiers have been practicing
hard for the last ten days and are in
excellent shape. Manager Seibert said
yesterday that Werner was in grand
form, and expected to make an envia-
bic reputation during the coming
year.
