PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-When the
base ball moguls pass law that uh-
necessary hits made in game can De
saved and used the next day, then
contest such that yesterday between
the Athletics and Washington will inter
est us. In two innings it seemed as II
the Mackmen were bewitched, for theN
banged out precisely nine swats Tor d
total of five runs. The other hit mace
by them helped score run. the totai De-
ing, Athletics 6. Washington l.
Poor Old Dolly Gray. who uses his
left wing to earn salary from 'he
Washington club, was the recipient OF all
the banging by the Mackmen In the
third Comics pupils had three douoies' d
triple and a single. And yet Cahtiiioh
sent Dolly back for more, which ne
sure did get in the sixth. when tour SIN
giles in a row made him look ike rusty

Bender in Good Form.
Chief Bender. who twirled for the Ath-
letics. was in good form and allowed but
five hits, one of them being a triple ana
the Nationals therefore being able 10
cross the plate. Al no other 1uncture
was the Indian forced to throw out ols-
tress signals. for it was one lovely vo!-
age toward that bonus Mack has prom
ised him.
Washington had three men on base III
the second inning, Mcbride and Street
being passed and Milan beating OUT
single, which bounded over Bender :
head But two had been put out and
Dolly Gray left all three Nationals
stranded on the paths. Browne opened
the third with his triple line orlse
down the third base line, which never
left field bleachers. As George Is some
runner, he might have completed the
circuit, but sprung limp rounding sec
ond and was fortunate to get to third
before he was retired.
When Conroy lined the sphere 10 oio-
ring Browne never moved toward nome,
so Cantillon sent in Altrock to run 1or
him and Nick crossed the plate when
Baker, which Frank lost for moment,
but got in time to retire Bob at first.
Some Clouting, This.
That very netty SWdtllHS dIIdH nap
pened i'm the Athletics half of the same
inning Barry started 1t with a double
to left and scored when Thomas lofted
one 10 right which was good for two
bases because Unglaub and Tannehill
got their signals twisted and allowed 1t
TO drop safe at their feet. Bender popped
a fly to Mcbride on which Thomas was
doubled at second, and it looked very
bad.
HartseI was there with a smash to
left. good for three. bases. however. and
scored on Oldrings single, which was
too hot for Mcbride. And when Collins
cracked the sphere 10 left with the speed
of cannon ball. Rube crossed the plate
and Eddie tied up at second. Murphy's
fy to Altrock ended the rally.
When Dolly" allowed Ira Thomas to
pass to first in the fifth he paved the
way for another run. for Bender sacri-
fled Ira TO second. Hartsel sent him to
third on single and the Mack backstop
Tailed on OldringS sacrifice NY.
Murphy began the cloutings in the
sixth which made the two unnecessary
runs. His swat to right was good for
one base and Danny went to third on
Davis terrific lambast to right, good for
a base passed ball allowed Harry to
go to second. and when Baker ballooned
tile sphere to center for one base. Messrs.
UnGlaub and Milan. doing the Alphonse-
CASTOR thing Murphy Tailed and Harry
took third. On Barry's one-baser TO
left Davis scored.
