IFrom a stan Correspondent Of The Tribune
Philadelphia, July 1.-Firmcr footing on
the mountainous peaks of the pinnacle
was found by the Giants this afternoon,
when the champions sweltered through a
heat scared game and ran away with
one-sided victory over the Phillies by
orc of 10 to O.
p zip on first place was strengthened
.he full game. leaving New York
game and a half in the lead Under the
hypnotic sway OF Rubc MarQuard, who
held them 10 four scattered hits. thu
former pacemakcrs went through the
motions OF making a battle OF it, but
there was no steam or pepper behind
them.
Every ounce Of fight seemed to have
been spent in the weird affair Of yester-
day. which eliminated in the McGraw-
Brennan encounter as an aftermath. AL
though the stands were not filled crowd
OF some fifteen thousand fans attended
the ceremonies this afternoon, obviously
In search of the personal as we'll as the
collective struggle. In this they were
disappointed. McGraw was out on the
coaching lines without a mark on his
physiognomy visible from the stands. Ii
is reported. however, that he carries a
few momentos of the tilt, which can be
seen at close range.
No untoward events or side issues
marked the fray. Several hundred fans
gathered about the gate in centre field
when the players went 10 the dressing
rooms. but they were quickly dispersed
by a large assortment of husky police
men.
Heat Melts the Players.
The terrific heat melted most of the life
out Of both teams. but in some way or
other the Giants just naturally fell mo
hitting the ball, while the Phiilies fell out,
and so the visitors had copious batch OF
easily earned counters to show for their
exertion.
None Of the four pitchers that Charlie
Doom offered up to the sacrifice worked
i'm an impressivt fashion. After pitching
the latter part Of the game yesterday
Alexander was sent right back again to-

\ tributed a couple of passes, which helped

harder, and quit under fire in the sixth
inning, when the Giants added four more
runs to the already expansive total OF
five
MAYER then went in as rescuer before
a runner was put out and allowed three
hits. which were of an excessively dam
aging nature. Marshall a youngster
started the seventh and lasted through
the game smart double by Herzog
was the only hit he allowed, but four
bases on balls and a hit batsman made
the road difficult for him from time TO
time
When the reckoning was taken at the
end Of the ninth II was discerniole to
every ono that the Giants have fattened
their batting averages with lusty allot-
ment OF seventeen hits They scored
runs until they were tired OF 1t, and
then quit with twelve players stranded
on the bases.
McGraw offered a fancy proposition at
third base in the Shafer- Herzog comb

however, and failed to reach first base.
Marquard a Power in the Box.
Marouard was the acme Of invincibility.
In seven OF the nine innings he sent the
Phillies back to the bench in order. He
did not give a pass, and as he received
errorless support, just four runners
reached first and only one got as far as
third.
Knabe singled in the first, but died
stealing Magee doubled In the fifth with
one out and watched Luderus and Doolsn
pop high fouls TO Herzog. Philadelphia
only chance TO score came in the seventh,
when Dolan. batting for Knaoe, opened
with a single and advanced TO third on
Lobert's double 10 left. Fletcher held the
runners on their bases as he tossed Beck

son and DOYLE executed Luderus.
Cravath, who is laid up with a pair of
iame legs, was able TO appear only as
pinch hitter in the sixth frame. Becker

All this happened as early as the sew

which ended the game.
