PH|LL|ES AND WIN
Score Seven Runs in First Two
Sunny innings, Which
Were Enough.

Fairly Skidded Through the
Battle with Such an Un-
usual Bulwark at
His Back.

Giants this season. Red" Ames was
picked to face the Phillies Yesterday. and
the champions 50 far forgot themselves
as TO score seven runs for him in the
first two innings.
Leon was almost overcome with emo
ton upon receiving such consideration.
He is so used to working along with
one-run lead. where carefully placed
error can assure his defeat. that he al
most went to pieces in the second
frame. Only a marvellous catch ana
double play engineered by Larry Doyle
acted as a scdative on Icons overturned
nervous system. Completely restored ne

blowing himself to his second victory
this season.
The score was to I. making II seven
straight for the Giants.
"Old Kalamity." the sweetest singer OF
them all got under way with rare valor.
but when his team mates began to
shower him with the blessings that are
generally reserved for Matty and the
Rube his control vanished. Doc" Gran
dali. the mighty physician who was
doing picket duty near the clubhouse. got
into action when Leon handed Magee four
straight balls after having two strikes
on him. Then Dolan sliced a wide one
into right field and gave Larry Doyle the
chance to be hero and do Romulus
1t looked so much like a hit that Magee
pranced toward second Too late he be-
thought him Of the celebrity in our cap
tan's pedal extremities. for Larry
plucked the sphere out OF the ether and
snapped II To Merkle for double killing.
Then. after Luderus had grounded to the
second baseman Ames took fresh grip
on the ball and was invincible To be
sure the Phillies nicked him for a run
in the sixth. but what is one run-ex-
cept in Brooklyn?
Miller found Knifer on first in this
frame and lined the ball for hit over
Burns's head. but robbed himself OF a
three-ply wallop by forgetting to touch
second. being tagged out by HerzOg when
the sphere was relayed TO the infeld.
Killifer. however. scored. The opposition
was retired in order in six of the nine
innings. Leon gave two passes and
famed seven men.
Earl Moore the veteran star Of the
Phnlies. got an uproarious reception in
the first two innings. and was obliged 10
retire In favor Of Nelson. formerly with
the St. Louis Browns. The latter sue
ceeded in holding the champions in check
so far as the manufacturing of runs was
concerned. although they found him for
six hits in as many innings. But the
damage wrought while Moore presided
was too extensive to be overcome by the
best of pitching, four passes punched
with two errors and five hits. not the
least of which was Shafers circuit drive
over Doan's head. netting seven runs.
The fielding OF the Giants had lustre
all its own. Aside from the Doyle fam
tasy, there were other bits Of distinctive
and meritorious defensive work. Take, for
instance. Red" Murrays bookkeeping
catch Of Paskerts drive in the third. 1t
was a sparker.
This was not all. Shafer. DOYLE and
Merkle gave Doolan and killifer an os-
tentatious funeral in the eighth. when
business was getting a bit brisk for
Ames, the Phillies having just made
their fourth hit But most glorious az
MI was kid" Burns's rompng gallop
after Luderus's foul in the seventh inn
ing, which required a post-mortem by Al
Orth before the umpire could swear TO
the corpus deficit
Luderus was not pronounced decea sed
until Burns had emerged from the sub
terrdnean depths of the grandstand with
the ball in his hand. The St townsville
Adonis received the applause OF the null
titude blushngly. displaying the while
his most winsome smile
Burns is simply making too big a hit
for any earthly use. Four safeties were
his portion on Wednesday while three
came his way yesterday. one of them a
piping double. He s burning up the
paths with his base running. and already
has been adopted by the left field bleach

His speed told in the fourth. when he

The fielding OF Paskert was distressing
after his brilliant work on the first two
days. but Snodgrass kept him company
by making his first error Of the season.
Miller lined drive night into his hands,

II might be mentioned in passing that
