QUINN GOES THE ROUTE

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-The Yankees
Increased their string of victories to
eight straight by walloping the down.
trodden Philadelphia Athletics at Shibe
Park this afternoon by 8 to 2. Fully
1000 enthusiasts braved the intermittent
showers TO lend distinction to the pass
ing moments and had the pleasure OF
watching Macks unfortunates take the
count once more.
One Quaker City fan, of satirical bent.
declared that II the Athletics could only
lose twenty of their next twenty-five
games they would ctnch last place.
Whether or not his mathematical re-
search be correct, the White Elephants
are on the way.
The affair was enlivened by the cap
able work of Chick Fewster. who
achieved three hits and a base on balls
out Of five times at bat.
Jack Quinn's work In the box was
good enough to win. and he uncorked
. wild pitch that sailed on into the
grandstand and nearly beaned an in
nocent bystander. Roger Peckinpaugh
got three hits and a sacrifice. so all
was merry from New York standpoint.
Maintained stafd Dignity.
Philadelphia IL q city Of established
habits and calm demeanor. Those base.
ball enthusiasts who sat IN the drizzle
dampened stands here to-day saw the
developments Of the pastime unfolded be-
fore their eyes. but they maintained a
staid dignity. There were perfunctory
ripples or applause. notably when Der
riH Pratts excellent stop ended the
game by retiring Thomas at first, but
one couldn't determine whether II was
because the game was over or because
~ the brilliant play made by the dash
ing second saclker.
One would be tempted to believe. af-
ter watching the AS perform, that they
are either hopeless. or so used to being
beaten that they accept the proposition
and offer as little resistance as one can
expect Were one to begin to pick out
the weak spots he could save time by
entering a blanket indictment. There
We're times today when a team imbued
with a desire to win might well have
won, for Quinn was none too steady. A
timely hit might have spilled the hash !;
but that timely hit was not among
those present.
"a Chick Fewster stars,

good play in the sixth that cut Off a
Philadelphia run and saved Quinn from
