To-day's schedule.


The Giants made a triple play yester-
day and the Philies made killing. The
score was to In New York's favor in
triple plays and s to for the Phillies in
runs. There's nothing rare about winning
ball games. It's done every day--March
70 October-and yet the Phillies got much
moro satisfaction out OF the trend of
events. such as they trended. than the
Giants. There's some comfort in win
ming even IL you can't make a triple play.
While shy on the triple business the
Quakernats quadrupled the run total OF
the acknowledgements. Fromme of the
homenats was soft for the visitingnats.
So WAS Marquard and so was wiltse.
Tromme. who had nothing and not much
Of that. was knocked out in the first
inning. in which he issued two bases on
balls In addition to his other deficiencies.
Marquard was the best Of the New York
pitching trinity, but hits were punched
on him in the seventh. The RUDE isn't
himself yet as a pitcher. George Wiltse,
with his new found splitter. was hit hard
In the eighth inning.
The Philles played another habby
fielding game, but they jolted the ball
hard and made runs easily. Every
hostilenat from soup to nuts took a wal
lop at the ball and helped himself to a
base hit or more. Errors exuded
copiously from Herbert Murphy. He COM
mitted four in ten chances. but he didn't
care, for ne and his fellownats were dent
ing the globe. This Cy Marshallnat. who
enters the big league with the twofold
reputation OF "a promising pitcher and
decorator of the eye " Sherwood Magce
clipped the Giants figurative wings with
q very skilful exposition of pitching.
Tho Giants fell down often and hard
with men on bases. Eleven OF them were
len on the buoys and the whole team was
LEFT far behind. Their playing was un.
productive and unsnappy. The triple play
was an exception. II was ratified off
trinity. but though ornamental was only
temporarily useful.
After Froinme passed Paskert In the
hrst, Byrne singled and Lobert hunted.
Merkie dashed in for the hunt. trying
for q play at third. but couldn't handle

runs were in and Fromme was benched.
The Giants hit into double play In the
first inning. but In the second Murray
worked his way around on an infield hit,
two steals and wild throw by Klllfer.
Vanguard kept the Philadelphia hits
scattered In the second. third. fourth, fiftn
and sixth innings. The triple play was
made in the tifth Masee singled AMI
Fletcher fumbled on Cravath. Luderus
grounded to Doyle and Larry ran Gabby
back toward first base. Seeing that ne
couldn't make double play that way,
Doyle threw to Merkle and retired
Luderus Cravath then pointed for sec
ond again and Merkle threw to Fletcher,
who touched Cravath at the half way
house. Magee was on his way to the plate
by this time He stopped In his tracks
when he saw Mclean make a good pickup
of Fletcher's throw. and Mclean scram-
bled for him and touched him out on the
line.
With hit at infrequent intervals or
base on balls or an error, the Giants
were on in the third. fourth and sixth
innings. Doyle left two on in the third
with a short poke to Marshall. In the
fourth Merkle was on third with Stock
on first and two out, on planned double

cetved Merklc, who WAS making ready
for dash home, only to be picked or
by killifers real throw. Fletcher opened
the sixth with a two base hit. Doyle flied
to Magee. Merkle grounded to Murphy,
and Murray, trying to change the luck
with the unexpected hunted. Eillifer
felded the unexpected bunt to first

baseman with two clean hits and a clever
pickup of Murray's low throw which re-
moved base runner trying for third.
