For years past the Baltimore Baseball
Club always had an easy time defeating
the Washingtons, and an oriole victory
was an assured fact each time the two
clubs met on the diamond. Now all this
is changed. No longer are we the poor,
despised Senators, but now very tough
argument for any club that comes along.
In a game replete with fast, snapDy
work and brilliant playing at times. the
Baltimores were defeated yesterday by
the Senators, although it took ten innings
in which 10 do the trick. But. neverthe-
less. it was accomplished, and in such
a style that Ed Hanlon is still wondering
how il all happened.
Wevhing. the ..cast-off," and McJames,
the Jewel Of high price" were the op-
posing twirlers and a battle royal was
the result For ten interesting innings
the wizard wings of these two great
pitchers sent puzzling curves across the
rubber. and at the finish the laurel
wreath Of the conqueror rested upon the
seventh, eighth. ninth, and tenth inn
ings the Orioles had two men on the
bases. but could not score. Weyhing
brought all OF his great cunning and skill
into play during those innings and had
the visitors al his mercy. He was not
accorded the support his twirling mer-
ited. Had he been backed up faultlessly
only four hits would have been recorded
against him. Myers, in particular, was
slow and did not play the fast game it
IS possible for him to put Up. However,
Bert made q very pretty stop of Nc
Cams hard drive in the fourth.
WrigIey was the bright particular star
OF the day in the art of fielding. In the
third inning he made a great running
stop Of Robinson's hot drive toward the
center garden. In the sixth inning he
made the play that must rank as the
feature Of the game. After two men
were out. Keeler got in a bingle, and,
after reaching first, started for second
as Weyhing delivered the bali. Wrigley
ran to cover the base. and Jennings's ash
connected with the horsehide, sending
the ball bounding between second and
third bases. Quick as a fash Wrigley
turned and made a dash for the ball, got
it and recovered himself in time to throw
Hughey out at first. Mcclure also made
a sensational catch of Holiness foul fly
in the eighth innilg, which fell into Jim's
mitt almost against the bench of the
visitors.
In batting, Anderson was again the
hero Of the day. In the tenth inning two
men were on bases, with TWO out, and
hit was needed to win the game. Ander-
son stepped to the plate amid the cheers
OF the $500 spectators present, and re-
sponded with a terrific drive out to the
left center fence and the game was won.
When Anderson came TO the bat in the
first inning he was presented with a
handsome silver service as a wedding
present from his feIlow-players.
