Col Thompson was incensed over the
insinuations made that he was seeking

3 AS SEEN FROnT "a
EG THE PRESS BOxx

The Nationals came near fixing up the
game in that ninth inning rally. Those
three runs looked big TO the PhillIes.
Clyde Milan made Dooln's men look
bad in ths opening round when he at
tempted TO steal but delayed. He threw
Downey and Doolan of their guard and
they failed TO cover the bag. In the
meanwhile Graham, thinking Milan was
going down, threw to center field.
After fielding Doolan's slow grounder
perfectly, KID Foster did the ''Tum-
BILE Tom" stunt and his man was safe.
Same old Germany. When cheered, he
has a new way OF joining in with the
bleachers.
Walkers second hit was the result of
a weTl-timed slide to first. Dixie
played well in every department. He
got out of a bad hole in the seventh by
tanning three in a row with second and
third occupied.
Cashion was twin brother TO the
proverbiaI March hare. He hit three of
the Phillies and nearly knocked Paskert
out wien his fast ball hit the center

Doolan had a disastrous day at SHORT,
four miscues being registered against
him.

the time he was on the mound. He
proved much easier than his predeces-
sors.
Paskert's running catch OF Cunning
hams drive in the seventh was one of
the best plays OF the game. It looked
safe from the stands.
Flynn saved Foster from an error in
the ninth by jumping into the air for
the throw.
A fast double play, DooIan to Luderus,
in the fifth, retired Cunningham and Nc
Bride in quick order.
Schaefer made a perfect throw to Henry
in the fifth which nailed Luderus at
the plate after the latter had tried to
score from second on Graham's hit to
right.
Seaton made three unsuccessful at
tempts to catch Milan OF first in the
third inning, but Clyde was a. trife too
quick for him. On the last try. the
Phillies thought that Luderus had touch
ed his man and began to wrangle, but
realized that the game was for nothing
but practice. Then they desisted.
The fans seemed disappointed that
Alexander did not pitch. It is more
than likely that Manager Doom will work
him in to-day's game.
Six doubles were pounded out by those
in the game. Paskert, Doolan, and Lude-
rus, of the Phillies; Walker, Cunning
ham, and Ainsmith. for the Nationals
all hit the pill for an extra base. From
local standpoint, ''Dixie's' and Eddie's
were very timely.
ELEVEN on the combined line-ups were
retired by the strike-out roSte. Walker
was responsible for putting four of the
Phillies aside in this way.

but failed to come across with the nee
essary clout. The bases were full in
the sixth and ninth when Herman came
up, but the first time he went out on a
fly to Magee and had third strike
called on the last occasion.
