PLENTY OF FREE HITTING
Ragon Holds Opponents Well in
Hand-Wheat and Dau-

Philadelphia, April 1o.-The smallest
crowd that has witnessed the opening of
the jor league baseball season in this
city in years was on hand to see the
Phillies so down to defeat before the
Brooklyn Superbss here this afternoon by
a score Of ] to g. When Mayor Blank
enburc threw out the first ball to Chal-
mers, who t2rried while on the mound
for DoOin's men. there were perhaps 3.O0o
Of the faithful in the stands. The small
attendance was due 10 the absolutely inn
possible weather conditions.
II threatened 10 rain in the carly hours
of the morning. and while the wind drove
the rain clouds away IL was raw and cold
\ strong wind out Of the northeast swept
over the gTandstand and grounds. and the
spectators sat in the bleak stands muf-
fled in OVercOats with teeth chattering.
The players could hardly be expected 10
play a good game, but the game was fast
for the most part Brooklyn went through
without an error.
For seven innings there were all the
outward signs and indications Of a real
baseball struggle. Brooklyn had made
free with the offerings of Chalmers from
the start. but kept within the limits OF
order and decency. Then in the eighth
the storm broke. Chalmers was driven
TO the cyclone cellar under fusillade OF
hits, singles galore and triple by Cut
shaw. Mayer, who took his place, was
waloped for couple OF perfectly good
hits. which PRODUCED 4 couple Of useful
runs. Earl Moore went i'm TO take hs'n
in the ninth inning and got it. too aiding
IN the good work by a most wondrous
throw.
After the usual ceremonies that mark
the opening game, starting with the pa
rade across the field in which a German
band led the Irish players. TO the deep
disgust Of DOOM Doolan. Dolan and some
others. the flag was run TO the forstop
and the band played THE Star Spangled
Banner" and the game was on.
Brooklyn went right out and got runs
in the first second and third innings by
free use of the bat with Jake Daubert
and Bob Fisher leading in the attack
The Philies got to Rason for a run In
the third, but thereafter ate crow until
in the eighth inning Pat handed them a
sop in the shape Of two runs. That
helped little. and the crowd cheered
what they thought might develop into a
real old-tme rally.
Ragon pitched fine game for the Su-
perbas, holding the Phillies down 10 cases
throughout. Only seven hits were made
off him, and Of these a double by Cra-
vath was the only extra base wallop.
Ragon struck out half dozen men and
walked no one.
Wheat played a fine game in the field
and got half A dozen hard hit drives.
The Score follows.

Giants Oh in Their Hitting.

IL the Giants were IN midseason form
as 10 fielding they were away off on nit
ting. All the potency Of their dread bats
was dissolved by the curves OF Perdue.
Only twice were they able 10 puncture
HIS delivery for hits. and both of these
safeties We're made with two men out
Although the day was dark, thus making
speed effective. still the team ought 10
have hit much bitter than il did. To lie
sure. the ball was pounded hard and uue
very often, only TO fall directly into some
waiting fielder's hands. but, Oh the whole.
the attack of the team was disappolnt-
ment. rs IL is in this that the main
strength OF the Giants lies.
The pitching propositions which the New
Workers offered were not above suspicion,
although no twirler is TO be harshly criti-
cised for fot being at his best in such
cool weather. The players were contin-
ually blowing OH their fingers during the
game to keep them from being numbed.
and II a finger could not make his curves
break right ne had good excuse TO offer.
or course. II can be said that Perdue
worked successfully under the same con-
ditions. but his pitching stands out the
more conspicuously for this reason.
only three hits were made off big
Jeff in the first FIVE innings, but four
runs resulted, principally because Jeff was
careless enough TO pass a man and hit
another at the wrong time. -Four safeties
in all were made off his delivery. while
Ave more were picked up of Crandall in
the last three frames.
Otis pulled out Of hole with surpris
ing skill i'm the seventh. when the Braves
filled the bags with two out. The Indiana
farmer cot the slow ball TO working 20
perfection and struck out 'Ichabod Crane"

to the pitcher's box and pulls wide throws
out OF the skies. The Braves punched a
cluster of three hits in the ninth. and
right at the darkest moment Shafer
f,imbled the bail with double play In
sight, making more trouble all around.
The Braves made ten hits off the com
bined deliveries OF the two New York
tyirlers. the debutante Meanwhile and
the veteran Titus making three apiece.
The little shortstop Of the visitors was
in the game every minute OF the time. not
only fielding his position well. but getting

the American League. lie said to-day:
An attempt will be made this year TO
sec mat the games are PLAYED In less
time than in former Years
The umpires have been instructed 10
see That little time Is wasted. and the
managers will cooperate to cut of the
minutes which mark the difference be-
tween the short, snappy game and the
one which is long drawn out and which
loses much Of its charm and interest be-
cause of that fact"
Ar. johnson suggests that some time
can be saved by the umpire tossing out
new ball on practically all FOULS.
