Willie Lange, the elongated center fielder
OF the Chicago Baseball Club, won yester-
days game at National Park With Reilly
on second base, by his double. wrigley
landed squarely on the bah and drove it
on a line to right center. 1t was going at
terrific rate. Lange made a wild, des-
perate dash for the ball 1t was close to
the ground, and Willie stuck out both ands
fell and rolled over it, but held the Gather
Had it passed him the game would have
been won ty the Senators then and there
There were three men on bases in the
ninth inning when the aforesaid Willie
went TO bat, and after he had made
swish with the stick the ball went at De
Montreville so hard that the youthful Sen
ator could not handle it, and the tying run
went over the plate. In this inning Cart
wright let Griffith's bah 90 through mis-
legs and the error was fatal.
There was plentyuf goodplaying through
out the game, but at times the home team
put up rather ragged bail. The first in
ming was enough to dampen the spirits
of iuost any team, but the Senators were
full Of grit and went right after the Colts
Everitt hit a high fly TO left center
which Tom Brown badly mis- Judged, andthe
hump-backcd baseman was on third be-
fore the ball was returned
This was followed by base on balls,
and then Lange hit to right The ball
made an ugly bound and Abbey failed
to stopit. Lange reached third and scored
on a put-out Immediately after.
This had little effect unon Mc H.,
settled down and pitched in excellent
fashion, until the ninth, when he was
touched up for three singles He struck
seven OF the Colts out, and, although he
gave five men bases on balls, the Sena-
tors would have won had he been given
decent support.
Reilly ftinbled IN easy grounder, and
then made wild throw. He also muffed
a fly. Cartwright seemed to be drowsy
in the field, but was strong at the bat
Wrigley made one wretched throw, but
he atoned for this by beautiful throw
TO the plate, catching Mccormack. who
tried to score from second on base-hit
to left
Farre!ls catching was quite up-to-date
He was deprived of an assist because IF
DeMontreyille' slowness in touching Dono-
hue, as Bridget slid into second base 1t
was an easy out, but Gene seemingly
wanted to make a grand stand play, and
he failed ingloriously.
O'Briep showed a marked Improvement
in fielding, and he took good care of
several vicious balls. Once he got one
back of second and snapped it over to
Cartwright in rapid style. He assisted in
putting Donohue out. after the latter had
reached first on single. The handsome
catcher leisureiy walked off the bag
Johnny then sent the ball quickly to
Cartwright and Donohue was out.
Abbey caught Ryan's two flies in deep
right without an effort, and Tom Brown
distinguished himself by catching liner
and throwing Pfeffer out at the plate.
Wrigley had little to dc, but he scored
after he made a cracking triple over
Ryan's head
DeMoutreville had his hands full, AMI
with the exception of the failure TO
hold Lange's drive in the ninth, he
played in dashing style, and worked
hard to Win
The two old men-Anson and Pfeffer-
were in fine fettle for aged Colts, and
they both showed that there is still
some life left. Denohue was strong ut
the bat, and backstopped up to his stand
ard.
DenZer started in to pitch, but as he
walked up to the hat in the fourth inning
Old Man Arson requested the yearIng
Lacquer to take his seat, and Wizard Grif-
fifth took hold of stick There were men
on third and second, but they stayed there,
as the king Of twirIers was easily retired
The Chicagos We're first at the hat
Everett's triple, McCormack's pass, Lange's
three-bagger, and an out scored three runs.
They made another in the second on base
on balls, an ont and Everett's plurk to
McJames, which the doctor knocked into
foul territory In bis attempt to get hold
of the ball. The batter reached second
From then until the ninth the South
Carolina twirler had the visitors at his
mercy but in their last turn at the bat
