WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Ed Delahanty robbed John Shearon of an extra base hit.

Al Myers had 3 base hits and Duke Esper came through with a solid 9 innings as
the Philadelphia Phillies pulled out a win over the Cleveland Spiders by a
score of 5 to 4 at Baseball Grounds.

The game was decided in the 9th inning.  Billy Hamilton reached on an error.
After an out was recorded, Hamilton proceeded to steal third base.  After
another out, Ed Delahanty was walked intentionally.  Myers followed next and
he slapped a base-hit making Philadelphia the victors to the delight of the
home town faithful.  Philadelphia totaled 8 hits on the afternoon.

Esper(15-16) finished the game allowing 4 runs in the victory. Cy Young(25-15)
was given the loss.  He gave up 5 runs and 8 hits in 8 and 2/3 innings.
