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 Giant Supporters Are Rather Gloomy Over Poor Start of Team New York.—What brilliant after thought was it that led me to ask you. gentle reader, to forgive the re mark about the Phillies being shot to pieces by the inroads of the Fed erals If, perchance, they should cap ture the scries from our Giants. It 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” right under the indignant gaze of Messrs. Marquard and Tesreau with out saying as much as “by your leave.” In neither game did the Low landers score more than a single tally and weak batting about explains both defeatß. Tt be sure. In the open er, the Quakers were ON A BATTING BEE and mistreated the ball something awful, much to the discomforture of our esteemed Mr. Marquard. Phila delphia .Is certainly an unhealthy lo cality for the Rube. 'Twas there he made the acquaintance of a certain Mr. Baker. Exit Mr. Marquard. While the Phillies refrained from damaging Tesreau's offerings to the extent of home runs and extra base hits too numerous to mention, the bear-strang ler's game went on the same side of the ledger as the contest twirled by his southpaw team mate Alexander and Mayer proved a most unpalatable diet. Sherwood Nottingham Magee, nursing a rersonal grouch in the form of a black eye. presented to nim by a playful young pitcher, promptly took It OPT ON THE GIANTS. Two homers and a single flew from his bat on opening day and McGraw Immediately sent for a supply of blacking to decorate the Giants’ op tics. However, we meet "them there Phillies” on our own green the latter part of this week and we have a hunch there will be a different ator.v. Even Brooklyn picked on the Gianta while they were down, and evidenc ed a total lack of respect for Ma thewaon in spite of the fact that ' Big Six” tried to show he was peeved by cracking out a double and a single In two tires. Buck Wheat, whose SUNDAY. APRIL 26. every indication of being much more than a stop gap, by reason of their Undeniable Batting Strength. Their slugging ability was demon 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 ing, defeating them, 3-1. On Satuur 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 ed at Brooklyn and Boston. The Team Pared Down. Manager Dooin has now placed all the men he has to spare at present. Infielder Curry will return to Hartford, where he played last year. Dooin con siders Curry a first-class ball player, hut with second nase covered and three candidates for the shortstop po sition, he has no room for Curry. Fred ericks, an infielder, Lindner, and out fielder, and Erwin, a catcher, have been sent to the Trenton Tri-State team, and Billy O’Neil, a pitcher from this city, will go to Harrisburg. Local Jottings. > Manager Charles Dooin sprained a shoulder last week, while batting fun go flies in practice, and it was several days before he could again handle a bat. Pitcher Erskine Mayer, of the Phil lies, owns and 80-acre truck farm only 15 miles from Atlanta, Ga. The pitch er bought it cheap and is bound to make money out of it. Bob Allen, the Phillies” star short stop in the ’Bo’s, Us a prosperous lum berman of Little Rock, Ark., with large lumber Interests in Arkansas and Ohio. Southpaw pitcher Gaddy, of the Phillies, is laid up with a fractured rib and had an X-ray photograph rfiade of it last week He has no idea when he sustained the fracture. It was reported last week that first baseman Luderue had refused to sign a new Philadelphia contract at his own terms. Nothing official could he learned and Manager Dooin knew nothing of it. Luderus is working un der a two years’ contract, b’hich ex pires at the end of this season. Lobert and Paskert are doing the same. particular delight seemß to be beating up New York teams, spilled the beans with a four-base hit while two team-mates were prancing on the bases. How'ever, we positively refuse to express surprise if part of THE NEXT WORLD’S SERIES is fought out on the Polo Grounds. Young Milton Stock is making a noise like a regular third baseman. He went hitless in the Philly series, but struck three solid blows in Satur day’s game, besides stealing a base and looking after all chances which came his way. Merkle seems to be the only regular who has his hatting h honer in Quaker town and got two binglcs In the Brooklyn game* Doyle and Murray haven’t the heavy artillery properly sighted as yet. Meyers’ hand w.i* cut in Brooklyn, bo McLean will do the catching for a while. There Ib a re port that pitcher Heanre and outfielder Thorpe have been released to Toronto.
