NOTES OF THE GAME.

Elberfeld was not the only one to suf-
fer from the intense heat. Nunamaker
and Larry Gardner had to seek the
bench; while Wood blames the furnace
like blast for his collapse in the fourth.
Umpire Jack Sheridan was the wise
guy" His jumps discarded the usual
blue cloth cap and wore instead q broad
brimmed panama. Even at that his face
shone like the headlight on a locomotive.
Milan showed the &ans his speed when
he came all the way in from second on
an infield out In the\ first. His speed
was the only thing that allowed him to
make good.
Germany schaefer was as lively as a
kitten on first and did some good work
with the bat in addition.
Joe Wood did not wait for the man
ager to chase him. AS soon as he saw
he had lost his speed he signaled his
own bench and coolly walked on the
field.
C. Walker does not look like any prom
ising addition to the Nationals hitting
strength. He struck out the first two
times up this afternoon. He was robbed
of a home run, however, by Speaker in
the fifth.
The way the Red Sox team is being
changed around daily not a man IN the
lineup seems sure, Of his job Reports
would seem to indicate that there is a
La oF IN he pa1
Myers may be a fixture at first II he
can keep up his present gait at the bat.
Next to Hooper, he Is the fastest man
in the squad.

ATHLETICS TAKE
TWO FROM YANKS
First Game Goes Twelve
Innings, 8 to 7.

New York, July a-The Yankees dropped
both sections Of their double-header with
the Athletics this afternoon, the first
game by a score of s to I, in twelve in
nings, and the second, 5 to l. Fisher's
weak pitching set the Yanks back six
runs in the first four innings of the first
combat, but they gamely overcame the
lead, only to succumb in the twelfth,
when Thomas delivered a single with two
men on the sacks. Warhop was out
pitched by Krause in the second game,

PHILLIES POUND
MATTY AND WIN
Burns Hold the Giants Safe
All the Way.

Philadelphia, July 3-Matty was beaten
this afternoon by the Phillies in the first
game of a series. His slants and fade
away were hit harder than any time this
season and he had to bow down to de-
feat, despite his team mates gallant
fight all through the battle.
Dooin's tribe held the lead almost from
the start and made sure of victory by
scoring three big runs in the eighth on
clean hitting. Walsh and Larry Doyle
made a home run apiece.
Burns, who lasted eight innings,
pitched a magnificent article of ball, but
had to make way for a pinch hitter.
Alexander, who took his place, held the
Giants securely to the mast, never al
lowing them to get past first. Score:
