PHILLIES BAT WELL.
The Philadelphia batters took rather
kindly to Ernest Shores offerings to-
day and made more hits than they had
registered in any one of the previous
conflicts. The power to drive in the runs
WAS lacking, however, and eight of the
Visitors was left stranded on the paths.
But "Gavvy" Cravath sent Lewis back
10 the left field fence again to-day to
ratch a drive that on the Philadelphia
grounds would have been n hit into the
stands and good for the circuit A little
luck in placing these long hits tomorrow

In both the first and second innings
To-day Philadelphia had runners on sec.

case were they advanced to third. Ir
the first Bancroft was left at the keystone
sack when Paskert and Cravath both
struck out. In the second Luderus lee
off with single, was sacrificed to sec
