eight innings, and Chalmers was on
the mound for ten, but the victory goes

with the defeat. Victory was what

Mayer famed three men IN two nm

reach first. while the winning run
scored against Perritt was well de-
served. Thus in the long run the IN
terests of justice were served, but, as
the proverb goes, the mills Of the gods
often grind into extra innings.
Cravath saved the game for Phlla-
Gelphia in the seventh inning. II was
not the first game Cravath has saved,
but he did not perform in his routine
manner. Old Wooden Shoes does most
of his rescue work with a big black
bat. but this time he used q well worn
glove and an outstretched hand. There
was a Giant on first and another on
third when Merkle golfed a short ny
10 right field. 1t was Texas Lacquer,

replaced by mashie pitch. Cravatn
didn't seem 10 be any place around
when the ball started, but as T. fell ne
approached at top speed, which IS not
very fast.
Down came the ball, sixteen feet the
first second and then faster and faster,
which everybody has forgotten. era
vath was fifteen yards away, then ten
and five, but at this point he thrust
out his left arm and picked the ball
out Of the air. Merkle was chagrined
He felt that right field had been over
trapped.
George Chalmers, who began the
game for the Phillies, is the same
Chalmers who went South with the
Giants TO Marlin. His curves were
sharper than a serpent's tooth. JEFF
also was in top form, and there was
a reason for this pitching effective
ness. From the beginning Of the game
until the eleventh inniag the same ball
remained in play.
That ball was new when the game
began and it had never seen spitball
pitcher. "It's great TO be young and
an official National League baseball
thought the sphere as RiCler took 1t
out of the box and tossed II TO the
pitching mound. Then came tiscolora-
ton and establishment. But the
pitchers remained faithful TO the ball.
The darker il got the better they liked
il. Though they knew its seamy side,
vet were they content still to call II
friend.
But TO the batters the baseball was
a detestable thing. Again and again
they tried 10 drive il off the field, but
each time il returned 10 mock them.
At length, in the eleventh, Cravath
fouled the ball into the right field end
Of the stand and il went into the
pocket Of a man from Brooklyn. Mayer
and Perritt were the only players to
mourn its fate.
The ball was almost lost In the first
inning, when Bancroft taDped an easy
grounder TO Fletcher. The shortstop
tried 70 throw the sphere into the
grandstand. but did not succeed. When
the ball came back 10 the diamond

thing with his meddling left hand.
