Philadelphia, April 2O-The Phillies had an outfield in operation at the Polo grounds yesterday afternoon which clawed down everything that rope. The enterprise and skill of Messrs. Osborn, Magee and Titus, the relative value of whose services was in the order of their names. in pursu- ing and enmeshing earnest attempts by the Giants to make base hits was part of a defence that was too strong for the New York attack. The Quaker videttes took a leading part in keep ing the New York score down and so in bringing defeat to the New YorlSs in a close game. It was the first vic tory of the season for the Phillfes, who didn't relish it any the less because they had to fight hard for it. The score:
