There was only one out and runners on

Devore and fell by the wayside. But
Iuderus was hustling home from third
threatening to put the Phillies in the lead.
Deyore drew back, however, and with
MAGNIFICENT throw doubled up the runner

then that straw hats papers and all avail
able missiles foated out OF the grandstand
\ while the frantic thousands yelled them
1I selves hoarse.
" Rarely has a ball player received a more
spontaneous outburst of applause than De
wore did when he stepped 10 the plate al
the opening Of the next inning for the
Giants turn had come. Devore acknowl-
edged the greeting by beating out bunt
10 FIRST and starting the team on the road
70 victory Larry Doyle caught one Of
Burnss wild ones in the knee and walked
70 first. In attempting to catch Devore off
second Toon threw low 20 Doolan, the ball
carromine away 70 right field and allow
ing both runners 10 advance base
The fiery headed manager Of the Phies
saw Immediately that the situation was
rapidly getting out OF the control of Burns
and hustled him from tie mound. Alex
and,r the youngster who has been burn
ing things up in the big league since he
donned A Philadelphia uniform, took up the
arduous task Of pulling out Of the hole
The first good one that he put across the
pate was planted in centre field by Snod-
grass for his fourth hit. and Devore and
DOYLE scampered over the plate with the
winning runs Matty retired the Phillies
n orde~ in the ninth
Scintillating plays were the rule rather
than the exception throughout the game.
Devore handled eight chances without an
error. making FIVE put outs and two assists
He was the pivot Of two double plays. put
ting out Luderus at the plate in the eighth
and Knabe at second in the first after
Magee had flied 10 right field. This last
play was unexpected, as Knabe, who was
on second, thought he would draw a throw
n third. Snodgrass picked up bad throw
10 catch Walsh stealing in the second and
threw the runner out when he tried 70 take
third. Magee made a beautiful one-hand
catch of Murrays fly in the first. while
Larry Doyle ran over to the foul line back
OF first base In the second 10 pull down
high one of the bat Of Luderus.
Snodgrass was the hitting king OF the
DAY. with four singles in as many times az
bat, but Larry Doyle had double and a
single TO his credit. Magee and Walsh
made four OF Philadelphia's six hits
The absence Of Lobert on third and Titus
in right field weakened the visitors appre-
oiably. The sun parlor bothered Welchonce
so much that he traded positions with
Paskert in the second frame and the lat
ter was not at home in that garden, al
though he managed TO get everything that
came his way. Meyers started to catch for
Raymond, but split a finger In the first
frame. and Wilson finished the game.
The score follows:
NEW YORK. PHILADELPHIA.
