BY DANIEL.

PHiLADELPHIA. Sept. 7.-Confronted
with the absolute necessity of winning
a ball game and favored with the
proper venue for SO happy a develop
ment, the Giants this afternoon went
out and did their winning. With the
powerful assistace Of a six run start
off three pitchers-a terrific first in
ming outburst which was featured by
a home run by Irish Meusel into the
left field bleachers with one on base.
the New Yorks overwhelmed the Phil
lies by 13 to 6.
II it had mot been for the quick
thinking of Bill Klein. the astute UNI
pire with the gymnastic brain. there
might have been no game because of
the lack of local players. No sooner
had Lefty" Weinert the first of the
Phillies' alleged fingers, thrown wide
one to Davy Bancroft than it became
apparent that a terrible conspiracy
had been Matched, plot calculated to
rouse Klemsto a furious banishment
of every one of Bill Bakers artful
athletes.
Feeling blase and surfeited with vic
tory after taking the astounding number
OF five out of six while the weary Dodg-
ers were resting in the local sardine can,
the Phutile Phillies were in no mood for
contact with the nfuriated Giants. The
languid Phillies began to ride KLEIN from
the start, but after sending Weinert and
Arthur Fletcher to the club house Bill
the Umpire decided to visit greater pun
ishment still on the rest of his traducers,
maligners and libelers. Bill made them
and let Us say that Bill Bakers artful
athletes didn't like it for a plugged
nickel.
The plot seemed to have been re-
hearsed. 1t was evident that something
unusual was on tap when II was an
nounced that Weinert was to pitch for
the Phillies. Lefty is just one of the
spare tires OF the Philadelphia flivver
and had not been honored with start
against the world champions.
Phillies Kick ON Decisions.
Lefty was thrown in as the red flag
for the bull. He pitched one bad one to
Bancroft and complained He threw an
other wide one, then a third Finally
Weinert tossed fourth ball and Klein
sent the Giant to first. That started the
local athletes. led by Lefty and Fletcher,
roaring like all the bulls of Bashan.
"Robber," Kissed Weinert into the
shell-like ear of Bill the Umpire. Jesse

Hood" chorused the entire cast from the
dugout From the infield and the out
field the local citizenry scenting some
thing unusual and quick to go on the
scent, took up the refrain.
Bill KLEIN took out watch and gave
the 'Phillies two minutes to go back to
work. Not in years had Bill pulled a
chronometer. Bill was peeved, There
was bowling minute and then Wenert
consented to pitch to Groh. On came
wide one that almost decapitated
Heinie. "Ball,'' yelled Klein, and on
came the local bulls.
Crook shouted the wild citizenry.
as If pennant depended on victory
for the Phillies. Buy yourself a tin can
and sit over by the station" cooed Lefty.
Out came Fletcher. on came twenty agile
assistants. who subjected KLEIN to as
fine grilling as ever an umpire got.
Get out of the game" yelled Klein
at Lefty. And that goes for you. toe"
he shouted at Fletcher. who had tried
to take Klem's watch out of his hands
and then had failed to locate Bits

from the field and the ,lugout, Ind
after a while Weinert and Fletcher left.
Soon n big sign appeared at a window
OF the clubhouse out in center field--a
sign alluding to- alleged resembiances
between Bill and certain member of
: the finny tribe. This libel soon disap-
peared.
Libels kept floating over to Bill. but
he smiled sardonically and applied the
proper remedy. He ignored those who
insisted on getting the day off and the
Giants gave him ample assistance by
making the Phillies run themselves
ragged In the field and take as neat n
pasting as they had got in some weeks.

George Smith followed weinert. but
he did not see the first inning out. Jess
Winters followed him. and even he did
not so the rest of the route. Pinto, a
left handler. finished the game He
went five innings. in which he did fairly
WELL giving four hits and two runs.
In all, the Giants collected sixteen
hits. Young got four singles. while
Meusel got triple in addition to his
home run. Cliff Lee of the Phillies
also rammed one into the left field
bleachers after Henlne had doubled in
the fourth.
AS for the New York pitching. II did
not have to be especially vigorous to
win with that fine lead. For the sec
ond consecutive time Jack Scott not
only started. but finished. 1t will be
recoilected that 1t was Jack who went
nine innings against the Dodgers last
Saturday and beat Cadore. To-day
Scott did not have to exert himself un-
duly. The Phillies got thirteen hits. but
he did not strain himself in the last
three frames.
After Bancroft had walked and Vein
ert had been chased In the first, Groh
slammed Smith for double off the
right field wall. Parkinson made a
Wild relay and Bancroft scored. Heinie
came home on a single by Frisch and

the pill into the bleachers. Young sin

pitched ball. This was too terrible for
