tinuance Of the struggle.
The fourteenth, fifteenth sixteenth,
ard seventeenth innings were finished
without much trouble. although the
Phillies punched two hits in the seven
teenth and hit would have won, but
Thomas struck out, leaving two men on
bases. Both sides had men on base in
the eighteenth. but could not score.
IN the nineteenth Sparks proved that
he was still far from being all liz. Ma
loney opened with a triple. and il looked
ali over for the PhilIies, but Holman
and O'Neill could not get the ball out Of
the diamond, and Ruelbach struck out
amid deafening cheers.
IN the twentieth Mccarthy opened
with single, and Casey's sacrifice ad-
Vanced him. Chance proved equal to
the occasion, and hit safely TO center,
Mccarthy coming home. Chance was
caught stealing, and after Schultz hit
for three bases. Tinker flied out.
Merager Du1y batted for Sparks and
did his share to staye off defeat by
hitting to center for a base, and
Thomas sacrifice put him on second.
Ruelbach caught Duffy off second, but
the little manger bumped Holman so
hard that he lost the ball and Duffy
sprinted TO third. Courtney and Magee
could have saved the game here, but
the former grounded to Chance, and
Holman got Magee's grounder for an

score OF 2 to l. 1t was the longest game

In the latter game the Philadelphia
team was returned the winner. put yes
terday victory favored the opposing
team after Il contest that was fought
every inch Of the way and stubbornly
contested for four hours, during which
time Frank Sparks, the PhiIHes star
twirler. and Ruelbaeh, the pitching find
of the season, gave a wonderful exhibi-
ton of the pitchers clevernees and cum
ming. Chicago won by cleanly batting
In the two runs, one In the thirteenth
and the winning tally in the twentieth.
Time and time again both teams had
splendid chances to end the struggle
with a hit which would have scored

third. and a double play cut off their
chances in the fourth. In the fifth
Doolin led off with double and reached

and Thomas struck out. Chances to

much for the locals.
The strain on the spectators nerves
was getting intense. but the players

Fine Support.

The support accorded both pitchers
was unusually praiseworthy Aside from
the numerous feature plays every man
on each team had one OF more chances
10 distinguish himself A wild throw
advanced Thomas in the thirteenth and
he scored from third on q hit. but he
would no doubt have counted from
second. The only errors for the Phil
lies were contributed by Doom and these
were excusable. as he was hit by a
pitched ball and had one of his fingers
dislocated.
In the third inning Naloney robbed
the Phillies of a run and Magee OF at
least a double by taking the Iatter's
drive off the right field wall with his
gloved hand Magee repaid the comph
ment in kind in the fourth by running
from deep left in back of short and
catching Schultes fly with one hand.
Iagee and Chance made fine running
catches of foul flies, and Tinker and
Bransieid completed double plays I'M
assisted by catching line drives and
touching runners out. Chicago took
many chances on the bases, getting
away with several steals and losing
others by OVerrunning the bags and be-
ing tagged out by quick plays. Gleason,
Doolin. and Courtney figured in plays of
this kind, which won deserved applause.
