The Senators trimmed up the Quakcrs
for the second time hand running yesterday
afternoon.
And that they did was no cause for sur
prise to the regular followers of the game
who have been cOnstantin their attendance
at National Park OF late.
The fact is as results attest, that the
home team is playing that article OF bail
that makes 1t a hard proposition to handle
not only by the tail-enders, but by the
accredited strong clubs OF the league.

Perhaps the solution lies
in putting Mixes bad wing and their nerve
together. Anyhow they are thieving the
sacks and we of Washington are not
worrying about the why's and wherefores.

AT that, Jimmy gave no signs of being

BILLY LUSH's GREAT THROW.
The feature that stood out in bold relief |
rom the many good plays was a double |
Executed between Lush and MCGUIRE in |
he second inning.
The Quakers were in fair way to score, |
With the every reliable Cross on third and |
,nly one out. Dick Cooley, who can always |
,e expected to do something with the ball |
when at bat, pirouted out flytO left center. I
Tom Brown and Lush both started for the |
ocket, but Lush was nearest as it de- |
and he yelled to Tom that he |
would take 1t. Billy had an object In |
Getting his hands oil the bail-he had de- |
igns on Cross, who was tiptOeing off third |
eady " start with the catch.
Billy captured the sphere and Lave |
printed for the rubber which he never |
cached. In the twinkliug OF an eye after
he ball touched his glove, Lush let drive
D MCGUIRE standing at the plate. The |
padding sped as fast and true as the |
oming pigeon flies. aud Mcclure, trapping
t without moving a step, touched Cross |
S he came down the path.
So many remarkable plays have been
nade at National Park lately that to lay |
tress on a single one may seem superfluous-
tut 1t is only Justice to say that a similar
ouble was never executed on the grounds 1
nd Lush was entitled to the great ovation

TAYLOR LOST HIS TEMPER.

worked himself into a passion over Lynch's
ecision on Abbey at third, which also cost
few simoleons aud gave him
eserved seat on the bench.
The second base play OF O'Briep and De-
steady Work In the field and
is foxy batting, contributed largely to the
enators fifth consecutive victory. The
