was fading away quarter ton at a
final score was 3 to 2.
Shufflin' Phil, who has to be stocked
at regular intervals with large quanti-
ties Of food was very bitter over the
entire proceedings. when Parkinson,
the Philies' second baseman, kept the
Giants from winning in the ninth with
a marvellous stop of grounder by
Rawlings. If this grounder had got by
would have been home in time to en-
joy the quarter of beef and the Vir-
ginia ham which he had ordered for
dinner.
Phil, like any other pachyderm de-
prived of his sustenance, became peev-
ish, especially around the thirteenth
inning. He accused Parkinson, who
had laid down sacrifice, of interfer-
ing with him, and was berating him
soundly when a familiar voice piped
up, saying: You and your whole
family" or words to that effect.
A Quicting Inhuence.
A prominent chin protruded itself into
the argument. Naturally t was the
chin of Art Fletcher, ex-Giant whs

instantly subsided.
Only one other untoward incident

which brought out 10000 customers.

Up to the sixth inning 1t looked like
an interminable pitchers duel and II
was plain that Shufflin' Phil Douglas
was due to lose some weight In the
sixth the Phis broke through with

drove a single to right field
This brought up Cy Williams, who has
tied his neck in knot so as to distin-

ers of that name. Williams drove d
home run into the lower right 1ieid
stands and scored himseii ana walker.
Wilbert William Hubbell wavered for
lust n few minutes during the Giants
half of the same inning. With one out
he passed Jawn Rawlings. Singles by
Young and Meusel brought him home.
PhilIies Talk 1t over.
The Giants got the one that tied the
score in the eighth. Heinie der Gron'
the waif of Cincinnati, led with single
and Young got base on pans. Meusei
sent them both along with sacrifice.
This brought up Long George Kelly
and some CONSERVATION among the visit
ing athletes.
First the infield held consultation.
Then Art Fletcher. the human dynamo
of the Phils trotted to the dugout TO
taIk over the situation with Kaiser
wilhelm, the manager. A special meet
ing of the team and board of strategy
was held on the spot, and the verdict
was that Kelly should not be passed
purposely. Long George was thrown
out by Parkinson and Groh scored on
