Philadelphia, July 2S.-The Athletics
gave another evidence OF slumping IN
their work to-day when they played
listlessly in the field. showed poor judg-
ment in their play, and gave a woefully
weak exhibition at the bat. Washing
ton won in ten innings; to 5. The
Nationals outhit and outhelded the jaded
league leaders and deserved to win on
merit
The distinct feature Of the game was
the pitching OF Doc" Reisling. who held
the Mackmen to FIVE hits. four Of which
came with a rush IN the second inning.
These bingles, with a wild pitch and pass.
yielded three runs and gave the Athletics
lead which they held until the sixth
round. The fifth hit credited 10 the
White Elephants came in the fifth in
ming While the Athletics scored another
run. they did not make the semblance
OF another hit or Reisling. their run
in the seventh being due to a rank
error by Killifer. In the last three
rounds Relsling pitched perfect ball. only
nine men facing him in these innings.
Morgan HIT Hard.

ton spitball artist, was in poor form.
He wavered in almost every rouEd.
In the late innings he was hit hard. In
only three Of the ten did Washington
fail to hit him safely one or more times.

a feature of the game The big shortstop
accepted nine chances without an error,
some Of them being unusually difficult.

hits and once run by brilliant stops and
throws. In the seventh he ran far to his
right, took Lords hard smash on the full
run. and winged the batter out at first
In the ninth he robbed McInnis OF a bin

aheld was a beautiful running catch by
