GAME HALTED
BY HARD RAIN
Moran Declares Story of
Joe Wood Joining Club
Is "Pipe Dream"
MACKS' GAME IS OFF

Today's Philles- Brooklyn game was
postponed on account of rain, but for
tunately for Moran the storm did not ar
rive in time TO prevent the morning work.
out. The Phils have been idle so much
of late that Manager Moran fears the
pitchers will lose their present form If
they do not get more work.
Moran had all of his players excepting
Alexander, who was to have pitched the
first game against Brooklyn, out for prac-
tice early this morning and he kept them
on the field until the rain put the field
in such n condition that it was impossible
TO work.
The Philly leader also took time to de-
clare that the yarn about Joe Wood join
ing the Phillies was pipe dream"
Moran says that he has not seen Wood
since the last worlds series game in Bos-
ton and never had any Intention OF try
ing to get Wood. Moran added that he
already has so many pitchers that he does
not know just how he will cut the squad
to keep within the 2l-player limit
Moran does not want to part with any
of his present staff, but fears that 1t must
be done as il is virtually impossible to
cut more than one utility man from the
SQUAD The addition of Claude Cooper,
the former Federal League Outheder
gives Moran 20 players, and makes II
harder for him to cut the squad to the
required limit,
The work of the champions has greatly
pleased Moran, but he Is rather anxious
about the condition of the men prior to
the first Western trip. There will be no
chance for morning practice while the
team is on the road, and Moran fears that
the enforced idleness since the return from
st. Petersburg will throw the men off their
stride.
With the advantage Of morning practice
the Western teams are likely to improve
greatly in batting, whereas the Phils will
have a great deal of trouble hitting up to
form unless they find their batting stride
before the long trip starts Good weather
for the next three days would aid the
Phlls greatly,
The game scheduled in Washington for
this afternoon between the Athletics and
Senators was also called off on account
of rain.

P. R. T. League Starts, but
Several Contests Are
Stopped by Rain
LAHOTA HURLS WELL

Lahota pitched the Jackson carmen to
victory this morning, in the opening game
of the r. r, T. League with the Belmont
nine. on the latter's grounds in Fairmount
Park. The final score was Jackson, 4 !;
Belmont, 3. The game was called in the
seventh inning on account of rain.
The veteran right-hand slabman of the
downtown baseballans was in midseason
form, holding his opponents down to a
single hit That lone tally was made by
Schwartz, first baseman for the Bel
monters in the third inning.
Lahota and Tom Devir was the bat
terry for the Jacksonites, and they worked
together like two seasoned veterans of
the major league. Lahota famed 13 men
in seven frames, which looks as If this
will stand for a record in the circuit for
a long time.
The jackson squad collected their tai
lies in the first three periods, scoring one
run in the opening stanza, another in the
next inning and two more in the third
Only four hits was garnered off the Bel
mont twirlers-Gallion and Overdorf, by
the victorious jackson trolleymen.

PENN CHARTER DOWNS
BROWN PREP ON TRACK
misunderstanding Over Pole
Vault Decides Meet-Score
5212 to 4612

Penn Charter School won a victory
over Brown Prep in a dual track and field
meet held this morning on the formers
field at Queen Lane. The final score was
52h to 46ls and favored the academic
athletes on account of a misunderstand-
ing over the pole vault, in which Brown
failed to present any entries.
In arranging the meet. it is said. the
coaches of the two teams let slide all
provision for a pole vault Brown Prep
had no men ready TO compete in this
event, and their rivals took all the points.
No complication arose, however, as the
pole vault is a standard track event. and
the Brown athletes and coach, realizing
this, took their defeat gracefully.
The high men In the individual scoring
were Middleton, Penn Charter and Whit
mair and Bunten, Brown Prep.
