Eayres his chance, and he gleefully
scampered to the Keystone sack. happy
because his wish had been gratified.
When George Stnllings was revived
and the game was resumed. Walt Cruise
socked double to left, scoring Eayres.
This wild and woody baserunning
made big hit with the early morning
mob, which turned out in large num-
bers to see what was the matter with
the Phils. More than 10000 gathered
sleeves. which made things look home
like. George Smith was inserted for
pitching purposes by Gavvy Cravath
and Joe Oeschgcr performed for the
Braves
There wasn't much doing in the re-
mainder Of the first and all Of the Sec
ond. although the Phils threatened to
start something. However. the home
town boys tried to swipe innumerable
bases and failed in each attempt. In
the first. Banny singled. but Topped
when he tried to steal. Cy Williams
was forced by Stengel and Casey also
fell down in the swiping act. In the
first two innings three men died at
second.
Jack Miller's error and Irish Meusels g
bum arm caused another run for the
enemy in the third. Paulette also con-
tributcd bobble in this frame.
Joe Oeschger was breezing along
beautifully and had his former team
mates buffaloed. They couldn't hit
him consistently and, as the game
progressed, the two run lead looked as
big as thousand. The marathon
hurler had everything and looked strong
enough to pitch all day. His control
could not be improved upon until the
eighth. after two were out. he grooved
one for Williams and Cy busted it over
the right field wall for home run.
This wallop was legal because of the
new rules. When the ball sailed over
the wall it was fair, but afterward
curved toward City Hall, making it
eagle eye on the pill and allowed the
long swat.
Smith twirled faithfully for the Phils
for eight innings and was relieved in
the ninth by Weinert.
The new twirler allowed two more
runs while he was in Office.
First Inning
Powell walked. Pick singled to right,
Powell stopping Mt second. Eayres sin
gled to right. The runners advanced a
base. but Eayres did not know it. He
tried to get second regardless of the fact
that the sack already was densely pop
ulated. While he was travelling toward
| the keystone station Powell tried to
sneak home but was nailed. Stengel to
Witherow to j. Miller to Paulette to
| to go to second base and Pick by this
time had a desire to go to third. He
was foilcd however. and also put out,
Witherow to J. Miller to r Miller to
Bancroft. BY this time Eayrcs was
perfectly satisfied, because he had
reached second. and Cruise doubled to
left, scoring Eayres. Holke lifted a
high one to Williams. One run, three
| hits. no errors.

to left and Pick, realizing that Meusel
has spurious throwing arm, scored
| from second. ]. Miller threw out
