NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

Philadelphia Sept. 5.-The Giants walked away
with another game from Philadelphia to-day and
practically put the Quakers out of the running as
pennant possibility. They knocked McQulllan out
of the box in the sixth inning and they won out
by a score OF to 1. IT the second inning the
Giants put up a stupid exhibition and let the
usually sound asleep Quakers pull off a triple play
the first that has been made against the Giants In
years Aside from this the Giants played sparkling
dazzling ball. and Mathewson tower of
strength in the boy.
Only six hits were made by the Quaker batsmen'
but they managed to combine three of these In the
sixth inning with wild throw by Larry Doyle ana
scored one run After that Matty was mighty care
fii and let the Phillies have lone hit Not one
pass was given by the big pitcher, and he made hve
men fan the breeze.
The base running OF the Giants not par ex-
oeence quality but their hitting and fielding were
of the highest order Quick work in the helo
saved the day at least and In the battle royal
which followed between Mathewson and Foxen
after McQuan's Punishment there were severai
plays that Just sparkled Herzog made a brilliant
stop of sashng grounder by Bransheld In the
ninth inning and chez ed to the echo
That triple play In the second inning will long
be remembered, although 1t is the second that has
been pulled of the Philadelphia grounds In d
week Donn opened up with single, and was
advanced by Seymour, who punched out fast
liner over second base. Devlin then came to the
bat, and his short infied tap forced Cy at second
Doniin for unknown reason started from
second IL shot out of cannon and rounded
third with lightning speed only to fall into trap
Knabe threw in to DOOM and they made the
Giants captain waltz up and down the third base
line until he finally touched out But that did
not end the stupid playing, for Devlin who had
reached second, trying to get to third when
he too caught.
Mccormick led OF the third inning by thrashing
out double. AS usual. Bridwell came along with
the hit of the game and scored Mccormick. AT
this point the crowd overfowed into left field but
the Giants not able to take advantage or the
ground rule and Devlin left standing third.
Doyle came to the bat in the sixth inning and,
after driving out single centre, stole second.
Bresnahan kept up the good work by doubling to
the left field crowd, and Doyle scored. Bransfeld
made an awful mess OF Knabe's throw of Donlin 8
intended sacrifice and the Giants had two men on
bases with none out McQuillan gave the signal
that he was master Of the situation, and he started
to finish the inning. Seymour forced out Donlin,
but Devlin scored Bresnahan with his pretty single
There was only out and the sky looked black
for McQuian, for after Mccormick had forced
out Devln and Seymour had scored on Bridwell s
second hit Mathewson walked and the bases were
filled Tenney also got free pass and Mccormick
walked home. Doyle then came up for the second
time, and although he made noble effort 1t was
| in vain and he died vicious stab to Knabe.
Foxen relieved McQuillan and held the Giants
from further scoring. Seymour was the last Giant
to have the honor Of reaching third. He got there
when his single followed by wild pitch
There will be q double header Monday, and
the postponed game which the Giants and Phillies
have TO play will not be decided until the New
Yorkers make their final appearance here for the
season, two weeks hence.
