PHILLIES KEPT IN RUNNING

First Baseman Fred Luderua Has Aid-, ed Materially in Keeping Philadelphia Team iii Fight. Though Fred Luderus, first baseman qf the Phillies, has not been hitting up to his usual form this year, he has otherwise done a noble part In the effort to keep the wrecked Phillies In the running. The erratic work of his fellow infielders has made his task unusually hard. They keep him on pins and needles 'with their wild throws and their bobbles, but through

it all he has played fine ball. It’s a nerve racking job he has and It may be the psychological effect that influences his batting. However, he Is a natural hitter and should soon strike bis stride. In the meantime he certainly looks like the saving grace of Dooin’s infield.
