LITTLE OF GAME
SHOWN BY SCORE
Seven to Two Defeat of Nationals Second Game With
Philadelphia Not Attained Without Struggle
for the Worlds Champions.
By SENATOR"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April a.
The naughty sons of Connie Mack, all
Dedecked with the laurels of the past
year and filled with the memories OF
their triumph over the young bruins,
got busy once more and carved the Ma
tionals into choice morsels in the Sec
ond game of this series. The score was
to q but that does not tell much about
the game.
Until that fifth inning nary a man had
scored, and It didn't look as If they
were going to reach that four-cornered
bit of cement, either. For three inning
not a hit had been registered of the
perpendicular person. He was a world
beater. But that fifth. Murphy opened
it with a screaming base hit 10 right
and advanced when Kid EIberfeld boot
ed McInnis' firecracker. Bobby swayed
in the gentle breeze, and Ira Thomas
received a donation of one bag. Chief
Bender whitfield questionably, the last
ball being wide, but Amos Strunk, u
peculiar looking chap, drew pass. and
Murphy just had to come In.
Rute OIdring was the candy infant
with his fine Young two-bagger to left
certer, clearing the sacks. Bobby was
much peeved about then. and didn't feel
any better when Collins singled to CEN
ter, scoring 0ldIing. Street took Bak-
er's foul. and Zeb Milan ran nineteen
miles out to the fence for Davis clout;;
Five large mans sized tallies had
trickled into The game and counted for
the Athletics. 1t was really painful.
Even Mrs. Bender, sitting in the upper
tier of the grandstand. could not see the
serse of IL.
The Nationals rolled along with never
a chance after that until the very last
sta1za. Then CUNNINGHAM walked, and
Mcbride fOuled to Thomas. Most Of the
crowd was on its way out when John
hot for McInnis to handle, showing Gun
ntngham up a notch. Gabby Street
drove long fiy out te Oldring, and that
advanced the runners. Prof. Joe Quirk
rubbed little of his great dope on Jack
Lelivelt, and the Chicago boy walked up
to the pan and slammed one down the
alley at Frank Baker. The White Ele-
phant hurled the pill wildly at Davis.
and Cunningham erased the whitewash
score on the, bulletin board. Milan
forced Leliyelt. =
In the sixth Murphy walked and was
caught off first by Groom's quick toss.
Then Murf, more for q joke than any.
thing, started for the second sack and
ran in circles, coming in on the dia-
mond and going almost out to the field.
Henry could have tagged him, but made
a throw to Mcbride. Then In the end
Mcbride hurled high and Murf landed
on second Tommy Connolly calmly an
nounced that he was safe. My word
then there was excitement.
Even Herman Schaefer forgot his
lame back to go In and whisper deadly
things in Tommy's' shell-like ear But
Murf stayed on second and. scored a
moment later on Thomas sacrifice fly
to Miller. ia.
Amos Strunk got the last run for the
Athletics by speedy running from sec
ond. He drew free ticket and was
sacrificed by Oldring. Then Eddie Col
Inns drove, one at Henry. The Amherst
lad fell on the bag breath ahead of
Collins, and, before he could think of
shooting the pill at the plate, Strunk
was over the dish for the seventh and
final tally.
