Beautiful Game by the
Home Team,


ard is its name Some of our own unpatri-
otto citizens were in doubt whether the
Standard could really play ball, but yes
terday's game, dispelled the doubt The
Seshannoeks played good game, and be-
fore their edvent in Wheeling there were
many who .hsd money to say they could
beat the Standard" That money took
wings at 5 O'Clock, yesterday afternoon, and
its owners believe there are nine base ball
lists in Wheeling. Perhaps il the news
reaches Pittsburg, some of the League or
Association teams may think it worth their
while to pay Wheeling visit and while
away their leisure moments teaching the
Standard TO play ball.
Yesterday was fair day and over 1000
people went to the ground to witness what
they knew would be a good game. The
ground was rather soggy in some places
from Mondays rain, but little sawdust
put it in admirable condition. Both teams
appeared early and the game was called at
3:i5 M. Bobby McNichol umpired and
Spaulding ball was used.
The first inning showed the Standard, as
well as the spectators, that the Neshan-
nocks knew something OF the game and
THE wARIEsT PLAYING
resulted. Two innings resulted in double
blanks, and in the third the home team
caught on" to Burdetfs fancy delivery
and began pounding him. Five runs re-
suited and the game was virtually won. Not
until the eighth inning did Neshannock
touch third and then Foltz was cut off at
home by Heinlein's clean throw from left
field. 1t was a close call at the plate, bat
the visitors lost it, and nine successive
blanks marked their score. The Standard
should have had ten runs. In the elghlh

second; Moffat drove daisy through short
stop and Laird should have followed Barkley
home. But he hesitated while Richardson
