Onr Sluggers Are Beaton In the First Iu nlnc By the Phillies. It may be very easy to account for the de feat of our sluggers at Exposition Park yes terday by the Phillies. Some people micht think that there iras a powerful Jonah influence at work in the way of the pres ence of a brass band on the grounds and also the fact that it was ladies' day. But the plain and stubborn fact of the mat mtori tmr ter was the in ability of our sluggers to slug the balL As far as knocking out safe hits were concerned they were nowhere and alter everything is said and done it is hitting the ball good and hard that counts. Scratch victories mayJ some and go, but the fellows who bang the ball about the lot are the winners. That is Just what the local players have not been doing lately. Tlmly Bits "Wore Absent. A few good and timely cracks would have won yesterday's game easily. Knell was in .the box for the visitors, and he looked zvery inch like a gentleman that could be touched up without much trouble. He was very wild at stages, and in the way of giv ing bases on ballshe gave the home players many a good chance to win. AVild ai he Mas several times the local men had not patience to wait for their bases, but swiped an ay at bad balls to no purpose. When Knell did get the ball across the plate he was a pnzzler to the home batters. lie may not be able to fool other teams Tery much, but yesterday he was very effective against the borne team, But it is oniv fair to say that 'luck was dead against the home players. Several times some of them li it the ball good solid cracks, good enough for two or three bases, but the ball would go straight into somebody's hands. In this respect, that is relative to lucky nnd unlucky hits, fortune was all on the side of the visitors. IjoIs of Ladles TTere Present. The weather was very unfavorable, as rain tell at intervals until two or three innings had been played. It was ladies' dav, however, and, as a result, there were nearly 3,000 people in the grounds. The ladies were vory numerous, and only about 1,200 of the spectators paid admission money. "SVhether or not the band and ladies' day has any bad influences may be liaid to determine, but the fact remains that our sluggers lose on'such occasions. The game was lost in the first inning. At that early stage the Phillies got a lead that was never overcome, and they only made three runs at that Ehret started out badly, and he was more responsiole tor the runs thin anybody else. After that he pitched a good game, and lie would have been on the winning side if two or three more safe hits had been made by his col leagues. The fielding of the home players was'not of the best in many respects, but the errors made were not very costly. The visitors played an excellent game, and, although the veteran. Harry "Wricht has both Cross and Clements on the dis abled list, he has a fine team. 1 he Visitors Tle'ded TTrl'. Their fielding yesterday was first-class. Altogether the contest was a good one to see, as the score was close enough tokeep everybody interested in every movement, because right to the last inning there ap peared to be good hopes of the locals pull ing out of the hole. They did not and tliere.was not much complaining about it. Hamilton opened out hostilities and Ehret hit him with the first ball pitched. Chnrley Keilly dodged about until he sac rificed Hamilton to second and Halllman's sacrifice sent the runner to third. This looked all right, but Farmer Sam Thomp son got a hot one past Farrell for two bases and Hamilton scored. Thii wasn't alL Delehanty whacked the ball to the left cen ter fence for three bajs and Thompson scored. Boger Connor knocked a grounder to first base and the ball struck the bag. causing Beckley to muff" the pall and Dcle bauty got home with the third run. In the fourth the home players com menced to make runs, but their efforts did no' amount to mnoh. After Smith was out Kelly made a tbree-bsgger to left field and scored on Parrell's single. In ihe filth inning the visitors made their fourth and last run. Hamilton started off with a scratch single, got to second on Beillr's sacrifice and scored on Hallman's single to left The home players made their last run in the eighth'. Miller got his base on balls and Donovan fonled ont Smith came with a hit to the right fence for three bases, and The next two men went out in order, and Smith was left on third.
