A base ball volcano broke loose at CO.
lumbia Park. Philadelphia, at exactly 4.05
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The eruption
consisted Of four slashing base hits as fast
as they could belch their way past the in
flelders.
Ed Dunkle stirred up the lava in the Ath-
letics bats and the eruption became so fire.
quent and fierce that when four of them
occurred in succession the big twirler was
told to go over to the Senator'S bench and
keep guard over the ice cooler. AS Dunkle
has already made his job for the summer
secure by winning the only game yet credit
ed this season to Washington, the halo
which has been with him ever since he per-
formed the feat still surrounded his brow
as he STROBE off the scene.
Patten took Dunkle's place. After that
the eruption of base hits became less FREE
quent and the Athletics reserved their
strength for this afternoon. Following
Dunkles disappearance the game became
a monotonous affair. All the spice of un-
certainty had been taken out of the game
in about one minute and forty-seven sec
onds, and Mack's men devoted their atten-
ton to showing the Senators few tricks
in base running. First, Davis enlivened
the proceedings for the 1854 spectators by
running half way between third base and
the home plate. Stahl had the ball at the
time, but he sent it to Coughlin at third
base too quickly and Davis scored before
Coughlin could relay 1t to the plate.
Later on. when the crowd hungered for
something Of interest. Davis stood In the
coacher's box and put Murphy up to an
other trick. Twice Danny started for sec
ond base at full speed. Kittridge each
time shot the ball to Moran, but Murphy
stopped half way between the bags and
doubled on his tracks. Each time Danny
got back to first base before the bewildered
Moran cOI1ld get the hearing of the ha
runner.
Plank completely puzzled the Senators
for the first seven innings. Then he eased
up and they managed to make the score
look little respectable. Malachi Kittridge,
who, with Setback, has been traded to New
York for Beville and Anderson. had several
opportunities during the afternoon to dis
tinguish himself. On each occasion, how
ever. Malachi concluded not to add to the
luster of his achievement last Saturday,
when he refused to be fired from his job.
Almost any player would have been
pleased at the notice Kittridge got, but
Malachi is not one of the kind that permits
himself to be driven from his comrades
when they are in distress
The Athletics laid off" four slashing
hits at the start Of the game. Hoffman hit
the first ball pitched for a single and came
home at express speed on chickering's
triple to center. l.. Cross sent Pickering
home with a single and Davis slammed an
other safe drive into left field Then Dun
kle was succeeded by Patten.
The latter was very nervous over sue
ceeding such famous youth as Dunkle
and he showed 1t on the first play. Seybold
hunted and Patten fumbled the ball. Sew
bold was safe at first base and Davis
turned his trick of getting Stahl ratified.
Harry scored on the play, and the excite
ment subsidized until Che third inning Then
Davis. L. Cross and Seybold each hit for
two bases and two more runs went over
the plate. Powers scored in the fourth. He
opened the inning with a safe drive, which
Cassidy fumbled long enough for him to
reach second. Mike scored on single by
Plank, followed by chickering's out.
The Senators broke their procession of
ciphers in the eighth, scoring two runs on
singles by Cassidy and Drill and Se1baeh's
double. Patten made the circuit In the
ninth on his triple and Moran's out. The
