WaI|op New York Again.

Three Home Runs Off Valiant
Frenchman Spell the
Story of Defeat.


Philadelphia. May 5.-The Phillies won
their fourth straight victory over the
Giants here this afternoon, making
clean sweep Of the series. and sending
New York into sixth place. 1t required
some OF the mghtiest smuggling seen on
the local park in many a long day to &C
complish the feat. Sherwood Nottingham
Magee, former champion batsman of the
National League. and "Cozy' Cravath
hammered out three home runs between
them al the expense of "Rube Mar
guard. and what with Mike Doolan ming
in the vacant spots with timely triples,
the final score was to In favor OF the
tribe Of Doom.
Cravaths drive was the longest ever
seen on these grounds since that memoir
able afternoon. some fifteen years ago.
when Big Ed Delehanty. then i'm the
heyday Of his youth and power. smashed
the ball over 'the left field fence. Cravath
made his hit I'm the second inning. with
no one on base. Marquard shot the ball
over way on the outside corner. with
every available ounce Of power on II.
Cravath met II on the nose and sent II
off on a line. As the ball travelled II
gained greater height. and when It finally
fell II struck the wall not more than
three feet below the top. It was his sec
ond circuit cincher In as many times at
bat. as he drove the ball into the stands
on Saturday while hitting for Killfer in
a pinch.
Magee's two hits we're not as long as
Cravaths. but they were quite effec
tive. his second more so than the first.
since two men were on bases at the time.
In the fourth inning he smota the ball
into left field. and. taking lucky bound.
the ball cleared the low fence and went
into the stands. There was nothing in
the nature OF a huke with the second,
however. which happened along in the
sixth inning. just when Otto Knabe, who
had doubled and Hans Lobert. who re-
ceived a base on balls, were on the lines.
This time the ball travelled off the bat
like a rife bullet. and finally bounded up
the alley between the stands. and Magee
made the circuit easily. driving the other
two men before him.
That walop should have been sufficient.
hut what happened later merely empha-
sizes the fact that there are ,ot of
mean men in baseball Cravath winked at
Marquard and then sliced the ball into
left for a single. Entered at this moment
ono Michael Doolan. swinging two black
bats He discarded one of these weapons
and stepped into the batter's box. Mar
guard thought that Dooan might have one
spark Of pity somewhere. but not Mike.

sent II whizzng to distant left field for
three bases, and Cravath scored easily.
Having satiated their desire for blood and
thunder. not forgetting long distance hit
ting, the Phillies quit for the DAY. and
scored not run thereafter.
Marquard fingered on the mound for
one inning more. during which he avoided
danger. He was gently removed from
the game To allow Otis Crandall To bat
for him IN the eighth inning. Crandall,
however. rolled a puny little one down
TO Doolan. and little was gained that
could be noticed. Marquard allowed
eight hits during the time he was on the
rubber. and OF these four came along in
the sixth inning. The Philies exercised
what amounted 10 a monopoly on the ex-

any strike-out records in view. for only
one man went down on strikes. while two
were passed.

possible. Doom sent I'm Grover Cleveland
Alexander TO keep the Giants at re-
spectful distance from the plate. and the
big fellow swung 10 his task with a Will.
He moved the Giants down in fine style
until the sixth inning. sternly vetoirg
their measures TO allow a run But i'm the
first half II the sixth inning ne wavered.
and the visitors scored two runs on three
solid hits. Doyle singled. and counted on
Merkle's two-base hit. and Fred in turn
came home when Herzog drove to left
for base That tied the score and gave
the Giants hope. II was only for a mo-
ment. however. and what happened in the
last half of that same inning has been
told before In the eighth inning McCor-
