of his submarine campaign.
A new note on submarine Warfare ha been handed by the German

PHILADELPHIA BALL PABK, Sept.
10. Jeff Tcsrcau, New York's best pitcher,
faced the Phillies In the final gae'of the
series this afternoon. Tcsrcau hue always
been particularly effective against the
Phillies, but today they got after, him
at the start and jumped Into a one-run
lead. Only a fast double play on a hard
hit ball by Cravalh prevented the Phil
lies from clinching the victory In this
Inning. Contrary to expectations Muti
neer Moran sent Ceorge McQuillan to the
mound Instead of Tllxey.
Bill Killefcr, Philadelphia's star back
stop, who has been out of the game with
an injured arm, was out In uniform and
tried out his whip. Killefcr did not at
tempt to throw hard, but said that his
arm felt very good. Ho will depart for
the West with the rest of the team to
night. It Is doubtful If Klllefer will really
know whether his arm Is all right until
he, tries to cut loose.
FIRST INNING.
Nlchoft threw out Burns. Bancroft
went out Into centre for Robertson's fly.
Nlehoff threw out Doyle. No runs, no
hits, no errors.
Stock singled to left. Bancroft singled
to right. Paskert sacrificed; Tesrau
threw too' late to Bralnerd In trying to
force Stock at third. Cravath hit into
a double play, Doyle to Fletcher to
Merkle, Stock scoring. Luderus was
thrown out by Doyle. One run, two hits,
no errors.
SECOND INNING.
Bancroft fumbled Merkle's grounder.
Fletcher singled to center, Merkjo stbp-i
ping at second. Becker sacrificed,' .LU
