"Zeke'' wngley was the star player at
National Park yesterday afternoon, when
the Senators defeated the aggregation man
aged by exMnor Lea guer StaIings for the
third time, by score of 2 to 2. The ef
ficacy OF Wrigley's work on the team win
be like st. Jacobs oil on a sore limb.
The young man took Browns place in cen
ter and he quickly acquired fame in the
field by taking Lajoies fly in the fourth
with the judgment OF an aged gardener
and caught Delehanty at third on a throw
far more accurate than the arrow from
Cupd's how.
The subjects of the venerable Victoria
did not applaud their illustrious Queen
more heartily than did the royal root
ers shout at the consummation Of the
double play. AT another stage OF the
game he Travelled far out into right CEN
ter, extending himself in Ben Brush fash
ion, and pulled down Clements terrific
drive.
His excellent work did not end in ;he
field. At the bat he was like a veteran.
In the sixth he found MI Taylor and
ripped the hall into right center for three
bases, sending two men across the plate
In the eighth he demonstrated his bunting
abilities and simply galloped To first, the
bali keeping liz fair ground, much to the
disgust of the twirling Quaker
Mercer, only few days out Of q sick
bed, was as keen as a well-honed razor
He was as regular as an old bachelor in
his habits, and he kept the seven hits of
the visitors well scattered. Not a man
walked to first, and Mcclure gave him
pennant-like support.
Tucker, reliable and energetic, put out
sixteen men, and made a double play with
out assistance. His voice was less in
volume than usual, caused, no doubt, by
the desire of some younger members of the
team wishing to use their lung power Tom
was willing, satisfied that the ginger
he has shown has had its effect
O'Rrien has rounded to in great shape,
and playing him on form he would easily
be an odds on favorite in any game of
ball
The Senators hit Taylor easily, and
just at the proper time, Reilly leading with
two doubles and triple. The latter had
on his usual mitten, and failed to handle
Cross bounder, which could easily have
been held with fingered glove. He was
Knocked out for brief spell, and had to
lie down, but little applause was heard
when he revived.
Four double plays were executed by
the home team in style that should act
as a fashion plate for the Quakers to
pattern after. The work of the plays
was rapid and neither one was close.
PLY, however, neither one was a feature
in run scoring. At other times his work
was good. In the third inning he made
a highly sensational steal Of third while
Taylor had the ball, but whatever great
ness he won by the act was lost after
awhile by being caught off the base
on this play Taylor was awake, and
the shortstop was the other fellow
Abbey, prompted by stern necessity
probably, showed new life and managed
to cover a little more ground than Roaring
Bill Hassamer was in the habit Of ira
vers;ng, and got fly after q hard run
over toward center
The visitors were not In the game at
any time, and they seemed to act the
part of the average Philadelphlan, being
slow and 1istless. Taylor hit three men,
netting two runs.
The umpire Yesterday was Mr.. Lynch,
and he was positive and fair At one time,
when his decision was questioned and the
Senator's wanted to have talk with him.
he waved them back, and he meant it,
too. This was necessary only once
for after that he had no trouble He called
down Jack Boyle with military dignity,
and that, too, had ite effect S,,ch M
pring is heaithful, and IS greatly ad-
mired.
Cooley opened the game with safe
