he had te be nibbed every morning te get the stiffness out of his muscles, nnd
thnt probably is the reason he is net fighting very often.
"I'll make n bet that Hritten is net en the read very much. He might
take long walks, but he doesn't run.

"New Mike is getting trimmed regularly by strong young second-raters.
He still can mnke a geed showing against the old-timer like Mike O'Dewd,

Phils Get All Wet and Win Ball Game
A FTEIt proving they could net play ball in n heavy rainstorm, our Phils
tx. dried themselves out nnd proceeded te take n healthy slam nt the Braves
yesterday. They captured the opening contest of the series in a very thrilling,
Viileturesque ami moist manner, coming from behind and winning "when least
Jipeeted.
The PhlN hnve been playing great baseball of Inte nnd seem te be en
the verge of attracting some attenMen Every time the pitching Is n trifle
above the ordinary they play like n real ball club. When the hurling gees
floeie they nre worse thnn that Jimmy King whs geed yesterday nnd the
ether guys stepped out and grabbed the matinee by thp wide margin of one run.
It was a tough battle and the Phils were trailing from the start. After
the Braves hnd sloshed three runs ncress in the first, they enme back with two.
Then, after Bosten had registered again, they shoved one ever In the sixth.
There was a swell chance te score a fleck of tallies In this session, but u
great one-handed step by Bnrbare, which resulted in a double play,' ruined
the act.
Frank Miller pitched a geed game for the Braves, hut exploded slightly
In the sixth and seventh. In the latter chapter Curtis Walker connected
with a double with two en and both scored.
The end of the garae was quite exciting. Chrlstenbury hit for Miller
and singled. He took second en a mcrlfice nnd third en a passed ball.
There he was en the fnr corner with the tjing run nnd only one out. It
looked like a cinch te score, bur Barbnrn hit weakly te Parkinson and' wns
thrown out.
Southworth lifted a short fly In renter which wns caught by Wllllnms
after a hard sprint. Fletcher was . happy ever the cntch nnd victory that
he knocked Cy's hat off and expn-cd his bald head.
FRAXK PARKiyftOX rnnnrrted inth another homer yetterday.
He iratleped the hall into liiead street in the fint inning. This
makes three homers tn tire 7njii. a lererd net te be sneezed at.
