! PnlIadelphla g victory yesterday was
| n tribute to the efficacy of C. McGilli-
cuddy's justly famous triangular
pitching system. Connie is nos
blessed with wealth of fingers who
! can toll through regulation contest
with any reasonable certainty of sue
cess, but he proceeds on the theory
that all his first men should
j hold their own over the three-in-
ming route, and the strategy proved
/ highly effective yesterday, with Bob
Hasty, Ed Rommel and Bryan Harris
splitting the chorus between them.
ZahnLser Does His Part.
Opposed to this trio was Paul rer-
non Zahniser. The acquisitiin from
Memphis gave another of the consist
entity good exhibitions he has flashed
since being elevated to the position of
regular on Bush's STAFF hit w'th ."a

riple-distilled brand of hinging pre-
sented by the opposition ZahniSer " ss

save the third, but in no frame was
more than one bingle obtained off his
delivery.
A double following one of the quar-
tet of passes issued by Paul accounted
for the first and only earned run In
round 8, while another two-ply swat
in the final ultimately became a tally
when Joe Judge bobbed UP with a
bum chuck.
The Griffs got one or more athletes
on the runways in all but two
frames. Four different Bushmen
reached the far corner only TO perish
for lack of a timely blngle.
Prothro an Agile Fielder.
A bright spot for the few more than

hand after a two-day fast from base
ball was the work af1eld of Jake
Prothro, d. $. The Southern Asso-
citation graduate gave fine de-
fensive exhibition at the hot station,
several difficult chances being listed
among the seven he handled Cleaniy,
but on the attacking end OF the busl-
ness Jacobus looked not so good. He
bounced n fat roller to Dykes on his
first appearance, against Hasty, and
then was Yictimized on strikes by
both RommeI and Harris before Civ

Prothro showed mental lapse in
the second inning in swinging to
tag Welch at third with a heaye from
Zahniser when he had merely to step
on the sack to effect force play,
and he displays lack OF polish I'm run

between bases, but on the whole made
a favorable impression as q fielder

in coming forward for Slow ones and
lined the ball across the diamond like

As Threaten In Second.
Resorting to the bunting game. the
AS made menacing motions in the
second inning weiCh walked for n
starter and moved up on GalIoway's
clever tap that Judge barely was able
to reach. Dykes bunted, too. but
Zahniser pounced on IL and tagged
Weloh at third with flip to Prothro.
McGowan's roller to Peck resulted in
Dykes being forced at the midway.
Jimmy interfered with Harris at

covered the short throw. but not in
time to prevent MCGOWAN from at
tanning second. Galloway set sail for
the plate when Judge tossed to Peck
but the latter's heave to Ruel nipped

Again in the seventh MCGOWAN

single to right after Dykes died and
advancing when Peck fumbled Mat

when Peck took care of Bruggy's
