The afternoon game at Philadelphia yes
terday between the Nationals and Athletics
was a much more strenuous contest than
that OF the morning, and the Athletics had
TO extend themselves to land the victory
by to score. But it was such A game
as brought joy TO that vast crowd. and
when Hartsel trotted over the plate with
the winning run the spectators could hardly
control their enthusiasm. Everything al
most from the start went Washington 3
way. The Nationals were hitting Coakley
freely, the Athletics fielding was a little
ragged. and Townsends delivery was a
mystery to the home batsmen after the
third inning
Washington had broken the tie existing
after the second inning. and had added a
couple more in the eighth, and hardly one
In the throng thought that the Athletics
had chance to win. but by one of the
prettest batting rallies ever seen at Co
lumbia Park the Athletics got their bats
going in the last half of the eighth and
when the last man was retired they had
accumulated enough runs TO tie the score
10 the howling plaudits OF the spectators
whose noisy demonstration was easily heard
for squares.
Manager Mack. not wishing to take fur
ther chances with Coakley. sent him to the
dressing room and sent Waddell in to hold
the Nationals safe. Anderson managed to
get double off Waddell but two were out
at the time and he easily struck HueIsman
out HuShes succeeded Townsend, but the
necessary run was easily and quickly made
In every way the game was worthy of
the great attendance. Coakley and Town
send more than once pulled their teams out
of dangerous places by their clever twirling
In only one inning-the frst-did the Ma
tlonalS fail to make one or more safe hits,
but the trouble was they could only get
them together In Il single inning-the sew
enth-their runs In the other innings being
due 70 misplays or battery errors. For
seven innings Townsend had the Athletics
on his STAN, but they got the hang of the
DeiaW1rean's curves in the eighth and
Jumped four, one a double
While Washington played a better field
ing game than the Athletics, the Nationals
lid not carry off all the honors. even
though Stahl played ii marvellous game at
first and Hill made a sensational one
handed stop OF a wicked grounder. Davis
and Lave. Cross handled more than one diff
iicult chance that brought out applause,
and Murphy made n sensational stop of
what looked like a base hit that saved a
heap OF trouble. Good running patches
were also made by Hartsel and Seybold
while the formers hitting was an added
feature.
Neither team was able TO do anything In
the opener. but both scored In the second.
Huelsman made the circuit for Washing
ton on his double into the crowd, Stahrs
out and Monte Cross tumble of Jones'
grounder. while SeybOld got around on a
base balls. Murphys sacrifice and
Schreck's Texas Lacquer to center. There
was nothing further doing until the sew
enth. when Washington forged ahead

Hickman's single.
