League pennant without any difficulty
In eight games against the Windy City
crew Wilhelm's athletes have scored
victories on no less than seven oc-
casions.
On their first Western trip the locals
started wonderfully and gave promise
OF returning home in any place but
last. However, this apparently was
due to the fact that their first stop was
Chicago.
Four straight wins were registered
BY the gallant Phils In this series
When Bill Killefer's band arrived for
its stay here three games were sehed-
uled. Each team snatched one con-
test and the other was all wet. Also

'Htory Impressive
Yesterdays victory was al the more
impressive by the fact that Wilhelm's
band drove Grover Alexander from the
mound and also walloped two other
Chicago pitchers for total OF seventeen
safeties and twenty five bases. The
final score following the hectic batting
bee was ~ 70 Z. ,,
The Cubs likewise did a little heavy

Fail to Advance
The Phils, however, failed to increase
their hold on seventh place. as the
are still three full games above the
cellar. Their record for the present
Western invasion. including yesterdays
fray. is five wins against seven reverses,
which Is little better than the first
trip.
A glance at the standings Of the
older organization this morning reveals
the fact that the Cards are but half
game behind the Giants. This is the
result Of the Mound City clans second
straight win over the Giants In st.
Louis.
Sherdel gained the verdict over Jess
Barnes in pitching duel, to 0. The
McGrawmen had ten bingles. but could
not push over single tally. This was
due to Sherdel's wonderful work In
the pinches and also to the fine sup
mort afforded the home twirler.
Neither team scored for seven in
nings. The home nine broke the ice
in the eighth and brought over the
winning tally, Flack's single, a sac
ritice and Fournier's one-base ply to
right being responsible.
