Inc AtnleIlcS nelo q neio Gay
carnival out at the OF ball park
yesterday afternoon and when
points were totaled the Philadel-
phIa bunch had the hoodoo edge on
the local playmates. . to 4.
For two afternoons in a row the
Athletics have averaged a run an
inning It's up to one of Griff's as
sistants to dope out some way of
giving the visitors less innings than
the home team. Either that or the
boss will have to call the class to
order and give a few lessons in the
art of how to prevent the opposing
club from grabbing off the coun-
ters, like winter radishes, in bunch
es of six.
Even If that fatal fifth was like
the aftermath of a cheese omelet
mince pie and Dill pickles, the fans,
nevertheless. had a certain meas
ure OF satisfaction.
Fans Greet o'Nenl.
Jimmy O'NeilI was sent into the
engagement to relieve Ellerbe, and
Jimmy's temperance certainly had
the approval OF the mourners who
pay the bills. When O'Neill came
up for his first effort at the plate
in the sixth. he was greeted with
another signal of joy, and even aft
er he buried a foul in Dykes hands.
the boys were still optimistic. And
for that Jimmy showed the stands
something pretty on the first play
in the seventh.
The shortstop made a clean peg
OF Walkers drive. And then again
after Grimm had flied out, Dugan
beat out a grounder towards sec
ond. only to be caught by ONeill
when he tried to advance. And
finally. in the last chance. with
Roth on. O'Neill gave the mob an
other throatfuI OF joy when he
doubled to left. Rather a pleasing
comeback, Ell?
Galloway Makes CIout.
The Athletics took a cool half
dozen in the NTH. Galloway sent
a triple far into the grass in left
center and Kinney stuck a low
drive through first, scoring the
shortstop. Dykes sacrifice ad-
vanced Kinney. who scored on
Strunk's hit over second.
Walker hit just outside Ellerbe's
reach. and Griffin flied to right. Du-
gan pOked through EIlerbe. scoring
Strunk and pushing Walker to
third.
The misery continued when FL
lcrbe booted Welch's drive to short
and Walker added another run. Per-
kins hit over second, sending in
Dugan and welch. Harris relay
throw into Charity was bad and
Perkins romped over to third,
Zachary was sent in for Shaw and
~hn Gallo
way went out. Harris to Judge.
Galloway had started the mess
that cleaned up six runs.
Get Runs Back.
Washington had a chance in the
seventh to come back part of the
way. but two mon were left on
hoard when the ship went down. As

first when Walker muffed his fly.
He slid into third as Walker made
another error on Zach's hit. Judge
went out. DuCan to Griffin, but
Eddie scored Milan went out. Gal
loWay to Griffin. and Rice walked.
Roth was an easy out to Griffin un-

GalIOway's error. Harris flied out
to first. and on DuEan's drop of
Dykes toss. O'Neill slid into sec
ond and Charity was safe at first.

TO make the nab. Roth singled to
right and O'NeiII doubled to left
scoring Roth. Harris walked and
both nc and O'Ncin stole third and
second without a throw. Gharrity's
last strike, a foul tip. was smoth-
cred in 81 Perkins glove.
