Matty Stands in the Way.

baseball circles as Christy Mathewson.
This fellow was not recruited until the
latter part Of the fray, after jeff Tes-

for twelve hits and nine runs.
Matty perched himself on the mound,
with none out in the seventh inning, when
the PhiIlies were rallying in the most
forbidding way. He finished the game.

these was a legacy from Wiltse.
The flower of the Philadelphia pitching
staff was employed in the vain attempt to
beat back the champions and hold the
place in front. To mention Seaton and
Alexander is enough. Tom started the
task but was tickled for ten hits and as
many runs in seven innings.
Chalmers was effective in the eighth,
but retired over the pinch hitter route.

the battle and being charged with tho de-

other as each team struggled for victory
in utter desperation. Both fought under
fearful odds at times. The Phillies jumped
off in the lead, making merry with Tes-
reau's splitter and seemingly mortgaging
the game with five runs on six hits In the
first three innings before New York even
tailed once But the champions doggedly
stuck TO the trail. and after they had
completed five innings had banked six
counters and taken one run lead.

fourth frame let the Phillies tie UP in the
fifth. but the Giants were not TO be de-

when they went ahead again by four-run
margin. Still were the home players far
from downed. They knocked Wiltse out of
the box in the last of the seventh with
three runs. and tied the score again with
one run of Matty In the eighth That
was their last. New York had the final
punch and put across the winning run in
the tenth.
Plenty Of Hits and Errors.
II was a pop-eyed contest and fearful
strain on the spectators. Twelve errors
and twenty-five hits were crammed into
the ten innings. Mike Doolan contributed
four OF Phiadelphia's seven misplays
The Giants slipped up on FIVE chances.
The hitting by both teams was hard
Philadelphia making thirteen safeties and
the Giants twelve Powerful work with
the stick was done by Snodgrass and
Meyers for New York. the Chief making
three hits and the centre fielder four
Paskert and Cravath, with three apiece,
shone for the Phillies. while Lobert and
Magee each had pair.
Paskert's triple right off the reel in the
