WEB GEMS- Top 2nd: Curt Welch robbed Jim Conway of an extra base hit.

Sadie McMahon pitched a complete game and Henry Larkin had 3 base hits and 2
RBI at Jefferson St Grounds as the incredible Philadelphia Athletics won in
dramatic fashion coming back to beat the Kansas City Cowboys by the count of
7 to 6.

Philadelphia scored the winning runs in the bottom of the 9th inning plating 2
runs on 2 base hits.  Denny Lyons led off and got things going when he
reached on an error.  Two outs later Curt Welch came up and he slapped a
one-base hit bringing in a run.  Bill Sharsig then called for a steal which
was successful.  Larkin stepped in and he ripped a base-hit giving
Philadelphia the win much to the delight of the home town crowd.  Even though
they scored in 6 different innings, Kansas City was not able to pull off the
win.  

McMahon(9-3) was the winner allowing 6 runs for the game. The loss was charged
to Jim Conway(14-15).  He pitched 8 and 2/3 innings and surrendered 10 hits
and 1 walk.

'What a game!,' McMahon said afterward.  'When we won it I almost couldn't
believe it!'
