that time he had never seen the Phil
lies. The Giants honored Jefferson
Yesterday by playing an Independence
Day double bill Of morning and after
noon games, but in their play they
struck blow at the theory of the
statesman. II three straight games
prove anything the Phillies were not
created equal TO the Giants. McGraw's
men showed their superiority twice
yesterday. The first game was capt
ured by to 4, while the score of the
second contest was 3 TO 0.
In winning the afternoon battle
Mathewson followed the advice Of the
Bunker Hill hero who said Don't fire
until they I'LL the bases I'm five inn-
ings the first Quaker TO face Matty
hit safely. One Of these drives was
a triple and yet not single visitor
crossed the plate.
Mayer, who opposed Big Sin IS OF
the opinion that managers place Is
on the bench Charlie DOOM has left
his seat in the shade for the active
fray very little of late. but yesterday
he donned the mask and wiudpad as
battery mate for Mayer. I'm heart
breaking fashion, DOOM married the
work of the pitcher in the sixth inn
ing. when he made the first run OF the
Giants possible by two bad throws 70
head off base runners.
Perhaps, If il had not been for this
break in defence, Mayer might not
have yielded to the other attack OF the
Giants in the eighth, which netted two
runs. OF course, Mayer did not chidc
his manager. lie did not even display
concern or excitement. lie remained AS
calm as an English rooter watching
, the final race for the Grand Challenge
Cup at Henley. Mayer believes "a

Although many years have passed
since the irate cOlonists pulled down
the statues of King George, threw the
tea into the harbor and yankod tho
tholepins from their racing shells. In
dependence Day was celebrated with
proper vim. Devilish little guns, which
bite through strips of newspaper with
a loud report. annoying the spectators
and amusing the owners, were much m
evidence The Catholic Pr0tectory
Band played 1.-THE River shannon
who Paid the Rent for Mrs. Rip Van
Wrinkle? ?" and other patriotic selections
and folk songs.
And yet there seems to be little doubt
that in many cases the real meaning
and spirit of our holiday have been for
gotten. OF the twenty-five thousand
persons who saw the game IN the after
noon and the ten thousand spectators
Of the morning battle, probably only a
fe,t knew what the British general said
when he discovered that the minute
men at Concord were assembling m
companies Of sixty. Yes, his message
was: 1--WE have met the enemy, and
they are hours"
But there was enough strife on the
diamond in both battles 20 hold the M
terest of the spectators without delying
into history.
The first game promised little in tho
early innings. for the Giants met kppa
RiXcy with so fierce an ouslaughi in
the first inning that the contest seemed
IN fair way TO grow one-sided.

deliberately. and struck out kllliter

Bvrne doubled down the third base
line i'm the ninth. with orc out. but
none Of his teammates could bring
him home with the tieing run. Muco

balls which Fletcher received and a
bad relay BY ludorus were added 90

the consequence.
Singles by Meyers. Tcsreau and
Burns gave the Giants run IN tho
fourth. and in the hfth singles by
Snodgrass and Mcrklo and two out
field flies brought home another.
Kilifer was in entirely different
form than on the previous day, and
was deadly in picking OF Giant base
runners. The best fielding play was
made BY Burns in the second inning.
