Day Cold and Raw
The day was so cold and raw tbs,
1t was the height OF folly to ask hall
players to perform. But all davs lool
ailke to the management of the Phil.

sold and Pat Moran kicked out BODILY
football weather is all the same as tbe
tropical brand to the local box offico
Baker has nothing much of a team 10
ruin, anyhow. II the Giants could he
1rozen INTO brittleness that would
assure the breaking up Of the team so
,huch the better. appeared to be the
ioGlc OF the Quaker City office. No
other logic could excuse vn the though,
of play. '''''e"'
Well, as to the action. such as !,
vas. Little George Burns put ths
GIANTS on the rgt track by worminr
pass out of the Mule Pep Youpr
struck lustier blow for the cause
single to right that sent Burns scur.

forcing Young, but Burns crossed wifi

done, returned Watson's compliment
TO burns by serving four wide ore,
to callahan. Williams followed the er
ample of Young ava put The run o.
lim,s station. But Bancroft did NOT
emulate Hal Chase. He crashed sin.
gle to centre that counted Cal with
the tying run. Luderus singled to deen
short, loading the sacks. Meusel con
trlbuted the fourth consecutive sin.
gle. This scored Williams and put the
fhlls ahead, never to be overtaken.
Baird's long fly to Kauf accounted
Tor Bancroft. Pearce singled to LEFT.
scoring Luderus. No telling hos .-r
Smith might have been swept bv tbs
cyclone but for Burnss heady throw
to Zimmerman on the Pearce hit. This
tagged Meusel trying for third and
hautf got back in time for Cady's long
fly. e
once IN command of such a comfort
able margin "Mule" Watson lived IN to
the best known traditions of mules in
general. He became set in his notions
and stubborn and most everything else
but balky. Heine-Zim opened New
York's second with clean single, bu,
following two force-outs at second
Watson struck out Smith Pep Young
singled with only one out in the third
and stole second. He got too ambitious
and died before Cadys throw when ne
attempted third. 1t proved a rash a.
tempt. as Chase walked a moment Later,
only TO be left when Doyle fouled.
The Phillies added run in the third,
our own Benny Kauff making the pres
entation on the only error that marred
New York's play Meuse singled 70
centre with one down. Baird popped
to Zimmerman. Then Pearce singled,
and Kauff's throw to get Meuse ST
third went wild and allowed the Tub
to score.
There were two down in the fourth
when Cy Williams looped a ball Oyer
the short right field wall for hon.
run. Bancroft singled and stole ana
Luderus walked. The rally ended When
Meusel rolled to Sticking.
King. the newly acquired outfeld'r
from Pittsburgh, organized Ssttins
rally in the fifth that got New forS
the last two runs OF the game a.a
which might have been serious had ha'
Chase made good on a despersN
chance. King hit for George Sml'n
after McCarty had popped out TO lu'
derus. He waited and walked. Burns
doubled to right, sending KING 70
third base. King scored while BsiTa
was throwing out Pep Young. Chase
Texas Lacquer dropped safely IN ce'. &C.,
