[from Francis Richter's column] Manager Harry Wright resumed his place on the players' bench at Philadelphia Park on Wednesday for the first time since last May, when he was prostrated by the severe illness which has held him in its grasp ever since. When Harry was escorted from the players' dressing rooms to the home team's bench at the Philadelphia Ball Park Wednesday afternoon the 3343 people in attendance, who had gathered there to welcome the Phillies home from their rather disastrous Western trip, stood up en masse and cheered the veteran manager for several minutes. Everybody was glad to see the popular manager back again in his accustomed seat on the bend, from whence he directs the movements of his players on the field, though the club's patrons would have been still more pleased had he so far recovered from his recent serious illness as to be able to walk out unassisted.
