Poor base running lost the Phillies
a run in the fourth. Grant opened up
with a hit, Magee sacrificed, and
Bransfield hit to Doyle, who fumbled.
The ball went through Doyle, and had
Grant been watchful and kept right
on home, he would have scored. As
it was, he hesitated, then started for
the plate, and was caught trying to
get back to third.
New York's scoring in the sixth began with Doyle's liner to center. Murray laid down a bunt and put it where it did the most good. Titus was far out when he dropped Seymour's fly to let Doyle and Murray move up a base each. Fletcher hit a fine one to right and brought Doyle and Murray home. Seymour scored on Doyle's fly to Magee.
In the eighth with Foxen out, Philadelphia started off on their two tallies. Titus sent a two-base hit out along the chalk-mark to the south-*east. Bates laced a single through the diamond and brought in Titus. Mathewson caught Bates napping, but overthrew the base in the run down and Bates scurried back to first. Grant was thrown out by Mathewson, Magee was passed, and Bransfield singled, letting Bates score. Two were left on bases when Knabe went out, Mathewson to Merkle.
