Second Eau de Gallic Ran Second Sporting News. THE OFFICIAL TICKET OFFICE, Says Yesterday's Game Was the Hardest He Ever Played In. "To-day's game was the hardest I ever took part in," said Theodore Breitenstein. last evening. "The heat was something awful.

The sun was fearful strong, the air humid and not a breath of air was stirring. The perspiration rolled off me in rivulets. It wet the ball made it greasy. Every time I held the sphere for any period the perspiration rolled down my fingers onto the ball. Then when It hit Morgan Murphy's mitt it sank In a puddle of sweat.

That made it worse, and It was very hard to control. Once or twice I could not put it where I wanted It, and that nearly cost us the "Take Delehanty's two doubles. Well, I know he got them on low balls. I knew he is death to a low ball and tried to keep it high, but what can ycu do when you are weak with heat and have a slippery ball? Then I could not get it over to Ellis, a weak batter, and one slipped and went where Dick Cooley wanted it. In all these cases I knew the ball would be hit as soon as I eaw it sail up to the plate.

"We should have had three runs we didn't get. A little sacrificing would have helped us when we were ahead. Because we were five runs to the good we thought we could take chances and hit it out. "Did you see the crowd jump on to Roger Corner of Twelfth Street and Clark Avenue, Or at the Offices of Owing to the bursting of one of the main pipes of our automatic sprinkler system in our Linen Department we were obliged to clear store of customers Wednesday afternoon to make way for Salvage Corps. 1 The department and reserve rooms were literally flooded and we feared accidents, therefore this precaution.

hit him had as much to do with winning the game as anything else. That's the way to play base ball. Turn every possible trick. Roger put up a tall game. His hitting was immense, and that error was not his.

Breit takes that upon himself. Coolev, Mertes and Ellis are good men, but somehow or other the Phillies' batting order does not look so powerful as when it read Hamilton, Turner, Delehanty, Thompson Cross, Sullivan, Brouthers, Clements and' Taylor. That was a team to strike a pitcher dead. Turner and Sullivan were out for it ves-terday. Both got in their hits and played the field well.

When Turner singled and stole second on Tavlor and Grady, he was nearly crazy with delight. He waltzed all around the base, but when he started lor third on a half passed ball and then tried to return to second, Grady threw him out. Ellis, the Phillies' new shortstop, spiked Tuck in the play. The spike of his shoe sank deep in Turner's shin and he was a lame man last night. He will be ready for Baltimore to-morrow.

-v Joe Sullivan's good arm helped things yesterday. Joe is not feeling well at that. He was quite sick last night. Meyers played a stout game yesterday, but he did not hit with his usual vigor. Tom Parrott slaughtered the ball when a hit was needed, but he failed to back up second on throws from the plate.

Come on, Tom, wake up, wake up. This thing of fellows scoring from first on a -wild tlhrow has got to Delehanty ran all the way from first to the plate on Murphy's poor throw to catch him at second. None of the old players ever remember seeing such a play before. The heat yesterday was simply unbearable. All t'he players felt It.

Gumbert was completely knocked out. The sultriness was fearful, the sun poured down his rays like a cataract of molten lead and there was not a. breath of air stirring. The spectators in the grandstand were almost as badly oft as the players. Emslle Is the boss umpire.

He runs a ball game rlerht. Poor Dick Cooley was in a bad way yesterday. He could not even knock a grounder off Breitenstein In his first Tour times at bat. Eventually did manage to place a little single past third. Dowd's judgment in sending Douglas to the bat Instead of Breitenstein is open to question.

Doug is a good "pinch" hitter, but Breit is hitting the ball as hard as any of them. Then, if the game had been but tied, a new pitcher would have to go in. As Breit was warmed up and pitching good ball, was the best man to put In the box. "What was the reason you let Sullivan and Turner go?" askd a Post-Dispatch man of Al Reach vesterday. "Well," said the magnate, "I had no fault to find with them, but the Philadelphia papers demanded that they be let go, and as our home papers have been a bulwark of the national game In Philadelphia and elsewhere, I disposed of Sullivan and Turner just to please them.

I do not think that Sullivan's superior as a ball player exists, and Turner is little, if anv, his inferior." All of which conduced to the belief that if Mr. Reach lets a lot of disgruntled reporters run his team for him, he won't have any by next year. Joe Campbell, the fat boy with the siege of Paris imagination, writes th6 following for the W'ashlncton Post: Again the July 22. Mr. Tttahard Croker and his friends suffered a severe d.s-eppolntment In the result of the.

Dowd and several of the St. Louis players received letters signed, "A Wealthy Admirer," that any pitcher or team who beat Baltimore in t-iie coming series would receive a gift of $50 from him (the writer). The mysterious frank glvea no possible clew to his identity and while the players would like to know him they are perfectly willing to go ahead and take the chances. Breitenstein is in receipt of one of these "I would like to earn that $50, as it would be easy money. I will do my best anyhow and if I win and don't receive it I will have the satisfaction of knowing that I did my duty." It looks aa If the recent spurt of the Browns has caused St.

At the midsummer meeting held at the Belleville House two contested games werw Batted Out Yesterday's Game in the Last Half of the Ninth By a. nice batting rally In the last half of the ninth Inning the Browns won yesterday's srame from the Phillies toy a score of 8 to 7.

I'p to the time the St. Louis team came to bat the Quakers were one run In the lead. It was the most exciting contest that has br-nn seen on the home grounds this season. When the ninth inning opened it looked as If the Brown were hopelessly beaten. Taylor, who had superseded in the fifth Inning, was pitching steadily, and the approaching rainstorm rendered it dark and tslowerlng.

It appeared almost impossible to see the fast ones Taylor was sending in, much les to hit them. But- the Browns got on to them, and with two men out. the score tied and Murphy on second, Dowd won the game with a slashing liner to right center. It was a stern chase for the Quakers, and they sailed well. The Browns had six runs to their credit before the Phillies had one.

In the fifth doubles by Grady and rele-hanty, and a bad throw on a quick plav by Brett gave the Philies three runs. They added two In the seventh on three singles a hase on baKs Oelehanty's second double. In the eighth Cooley's little measly hit past third, two errors and two steals let in two more runs.
