PELlCANS GOT GAME
PHILLIPS GAVE FINE EXHIBITION
 or PITCHING.
One of Largest Crowds of Season Saw, Climbers Lose First In Many Weeks--if Was
 Shutout.

| ! ming a series of mishaps In the usual | ly steady inffeld doingt the damage and
 sending one. of the biggest crowds of
 sion written T in big ti 'O letters 'o on pe every
 face. while gloom. stygian and thick
 enough to be cut with a knife en-
 shrouded every car coming in from tn,
 The first inning was a blank for
 both sides but was all over in the
 second inning. Frye Beck smashed
 right, but made a fearful throw to | Mullaney. Beck going to second and
 getting to third on Williams's sacri- ice. Holly walked and when he start
 ed to second Pat Millerick made the
 short throw expecting to get the ball 1 hack in time to nail Beck at the plate
 For some unaccountable reason Char
 throw. the ball whizzing merrIiy out | to centerfield. Beck skipping gieefull, oyer the rubber and Holly landing on Only one out. one run and a man or third! Groans from the stands. Brett enstetn smashed one at Schwartz. the hh being too slow to be fielded to thu enstein being thrown out at first and Schwartz getting Sullivan's hit. Succinctly this is the sad sad story of yesterdays game. but the secret ot Phillips made the heavy hitting Clint CTS resemble a wad of mutilated money The ancient. silver-haired twirlei played with the locals as q cat does mouse. literally holding them in the hollow of his right hand during tn. entire game. Four hits were made of him. only three of them being clean one being a bunt that Phillips waitet for in hopes that 1t would roll foul In only one inning did he lose tha magnificent control that made him ia nous with, Ted Sullivan in Chatta- was in the sixth inning, and Phillip showed the steadiest nerve and dit about the most superb bit of pitchinf bases full and nobody out the Climb cut of 1000 games; Brouthers, tn, looked like Phillips was going to piece and the roofing in the stands wa. something terrific. Molesworth push bunt down the third base line whic! Phillips ran In on but. thinking th t would roll out of fair territory be attempt to pick # up, Before the bal on first and Red Ehret was stoopin eyer with Phillips. their eyes an ly watchins the course of the exas perating little sphere which didr' seem to care whether 1t rolled foul i've feet from third base and a shout ing roar that shook the very groun. went up when It was seen that 1t h s;t9opped just a fraction Of an inch !
 This put Climbers on every bag the diamond with nobody out and MuI fancy, oldrinG and Thornton up: Tn and any pitcher sn the baseball busi ness except silver Bili' Phillips woui have promptly gone in the air and rt mained up in the firmaments until th fnnfnr 1nHol were counting without their host. | would have been as easy to rattle th' battle scared veterans of Japal marching on Port Arthur as to rattl Phillips yesterday. The yoileys an volieys of screeches, yells and soll roars seemed to havt the effect .,
 Mlilaney hit fly thattyoung Caste, in center pulled down and shot back to the infield before Brouthers woult have been able to score. There wer' still full with oidring and Thornton ui and Thornton had made the only hit o. the game. If such thing were pos sibfe the fierce roofing was increased would have put in one run anyway. bur there was too much steam behind tho balls that Phillips was firing over tho plate. Two more futile swings at tho the three chances were gone. Ther his hit of the second inning. On, hit would have tied the score and proba- bly win the game. Shooting the balls over the plate with the precision of machine and the speed of Gatling gun Phillips was pitching baseball like he never pitched before. And Thornton was moved down like wheat before scythe. The inning was over with Brouthers, SchwartB and Molesworth hugging their pillows and the big crowd in the stands looking with sad eyes and mute admiration at young fel- low walking nonchalantly from the box
 Mccoy also pitched a remarkable game of ball and while he was hit harder than Phillips still he scattered them so that not run was scored as a result of hit. He displayed re- markable nerve in the seventh inning when with two out and the bases full he let the last man down with an in- field hit when a safe hit would have meant couple of runs.
 Both teams played championship baseball and but for the calamity in the second inning there is no telling how it would have wound up.
 The score was.
