men on the bases in the third inning was
the blow that gave the Phillies the victory
over Pittsburgh in the first game OF today's
double-header Five to was the final
toll.
Bancrofts drive went to left center and
took three hops on the hard ground before
going into the beachers Two unusual
features of the game were the fact that the
Quakers beat their old teammate. Elmer
Jacobs, and that they won despite the fact
that they were outht, almost three to one.
The home team made only four hits In
Guiding home run and two doubles. and
punched with two bases on balls in the
third inning, produced four runs.
This rally knocked Jacobs, who usually
beat the Quakers, off the rubber. Bob
Steele, formerly Of ST. Louis Cardinals,
yielded only one hit In five innings. This
was single by Stock, and It sent in Pas
kert, who had walked and stolen second.
The Pirates pounded Oeschccr's delivery
for nine singles and two doubles Five Of
these hits were bunts in the second inning,
which with a bunt and a passed bail yielded
three runs 1t looked If 1t was all off with
Oeschger. but Joe stuck to II and, except
in the second session, the visitors were un-
able to get more than one hit in any in
ming.
The Pirates came here with almost a
new team. Ray Miller, who was secured
from the Oakland (Cal) club, made his
debut with Pittsburgh. He is IA left-hand
hitter and fielder Jackson was In left
field and Debus at shorstop, with Boeckcl
