Phillies Make Most Auspicious
Start in Race For the Pennant
— 1 1 1 - ■■ 1
Although Shot to Pieces They Are Playing Jam Up Ball and
the Fans in Philadelphia Are Jubilant.
Philadelphia, Pa.—The Phillies, who
were supposed to be the weaklings of
the National League this season, ow
ing to the loss of so many valuable
players to the Federal League, have to
date made a remarkable showing
one not excelled, or even equalled, in
previous years when the team was re
garded from the start as a pennant
contender. With a team supposed to
be hopelessly weak in the pitching
department and with two big infield
gaps to be filled, the Phillies were
carded to play a local series with the
World’s Champion team and then to
open the National League season with
the champion team of the senior
league. Under these conditions even
the most optimistic Philly fan expect
ed nothing more than a respectable
showing. But, far surpassing all an
ticipations. the Phillies not only made
the Athletics extend themselves to the
utmost to win the local series by the
narrowest possible margin; but they
have started in the pennant race with
a sweep against the Giants, and the
capture of the first game with the re
juvenated Bostons, the Phillies thus
at the end of the first week of the
season showing in front with a clean
record of victories. It is not likely
that the Phillies can long
Maintain Their Present Pace, .
as their undoubted weakness inn the
pitching department is sure to make
itself felt, soon or late, but the start
that they have made, will serve to
buoy them up against the day of ad
versity, whereas, a bad start
would probably have had such a de
moralizing effect that recovery would
have been very slow, if not altogether
out of the question Moreover, events
to date have warranted hope of hetter
pitching than appeared probable at
the start, and have also given assur
ance that the infield may have been
plugged up better than seemed pos
sible a few weeks ago. Byrne has been
playing a game at second base equal
to Knabe at his best, and if he can
keep up his present speed and accur
acy when the grounds become faster
under the sun’s rays, second base will
better filled than ever, as Byrne is
superior to his predecessor in batting.
The infield problem is still unsettled,
though young Murphy is giving prom
ise of being able ultimately to do more
than rattle around in Doolan’s shoes.
He covers considerable ground, han
dles grounders well, and throws hard
and accurately. In hatting he has not
as yet come up to the promise of his
minor league record; but he has the
action of a good batsman. So, all
things considered, the Phillies are not
as badly shattered as had been sup
posed, and they have to date given

Isn’t often that the Phillies have a
chance to avenge the Athletics, so I
suppose they feel bound to take ad
vantage of every opportunity. What
ever the reason may be, they walked
off with two games from “our boys”

Messrs. Marquard and Tesreau with
out saying as much as “by your
leave.” In neither game did the Low

strated in the opening game with the
Champions Tuesday, when they maul
ed Marquard for 12 hits, including two
homers by Captain Magee, and sent
the Giants off the field badly defeated,
10-1. After two days of idleness the
Phillies showed that their initial vic
tory was no fLuke by again outplaying
the Giants at all points, and with the
aid of young Mayer’s effective pitch

urday Marshall also made his debut
with a 5-3 victory over Boston, but his
task was made comparatively easy by
the hard hitting behind him, the Phil
lies knocking Perdue out in six in
nings, with 11 solid drives. The Bos
ton series ends on Tuesday, and then
the Phillies go to New York to help
the Giants open the season at the Polo
grounds with a four-game series, after
which a four-game series will be play
