Hitting Features.
ALEXANDER Is HIT HARD
by WILLIAM PEET.

The Philadelphia Nationals. or the
remnants of that club after the Federal
League had attempted to wreck IT. made
a sorry showing against the Griffmen
yesterday, losing an exhibition game,
to L
KID pitchers Jim Shaw and Jack Bent
ley made the Quaker City siuggers look
like selling platers. In FIVE innings Shaw
yielded three safe blows, while Bentley
was touched for one slam during the re-
mainder Of the game.
The result of the combat was highly
satisfactory to Manager Griffith and the
small number of fans at the fngside. The
Climbers scored three runs on each OF
the visiting tviriers and rolled up four
teen hits for q total of seventeen bases.
Jacobs a recruit from the Three-Eye
League, was only q trifie less effective
than Grover Cleveland Alexander, one
OF the best slabmen in the Doom stable.
Behind Shaw and Bentley the home lads
rlayed errorless ball, and for a club sup
posed to be in near championship form
by virtue OF their training in the far
South, the Phillies were a disappointment,
and were simply outclassed in every de-
partment of the game.
Jim Shaw was trifle wild at the start
a base on balls followed by a delayed
steal and single gave the visitors their
only run of the game.
The Griffmen quickly got this marker
back. when Foster and Milan hit safely
in the Nationals half of the opener and
both came home on Morgan's double to
left center.

Smith sneaked around to third on the
error and raced home on Jack Bentley's
clean cut single to left field.
The Grirfmen hit Alexander hard in
the eighth, Shanks, Smith and Henry
all coming through with smoking drives,
two runs resulting from this fusillade.
The twirling of Jack Bentley. who was
a big puzzle to the Phillies- and a re-
markable running catch by Clyde Milan
in the seventh when he pulled down Al
exander's sky scraper, coupled with the
hitting of Wally Smith who had a per-
feet day at bat proved the local features.
