N EW YORK. April 3.--As IA
major league teams are draw
VI ing nearer home day by day,
i they may view with some alarm
the bad example set by the
two Philadelphia clubs already at home
working overtime before the starting
bell rings.
The family argument Of the Athletics
and Phillies became so heated yester-
day that 1t was necessary to play IL
innings before the American Leaguers
were returned winner. 8 to 5. The
Phillies came from behind to tie the
score in the eighth and remained on
their best behavior until the eleventh
inning when they threw discretion to
the winds and committed numerous
base ball sins, including balk.
Larry Benton met the challenge to
pitch nine innings for the New York
Giants by turning Washington back with
one run, while the National Leaguers
were counting IL. Benton struck
blow in his behalf in the shape of
home run.
