QUITE A GAME.
In Which the Standard Defeats the
Croekery City.
A Very Interesting Game in Which Exciting
Plays and Free-for-AII Kicks are
Leading Features.

The best game of the season, and the one
which drew the largest crowd, was that OF
yesterday, in which the Standards beat the
Crockery Cities, of East Liverpool, by a
score of TO 4. 1t was supposed the rain
would preclude the possibility Of game,
and many persons no doubt remained away
under such mistaken impression put ths
ground was quite in condition and toward
the end of the game the sun shone brightly
and pleasantly. Full one thousand per-
sons witnessed the game, and about two
thirds of them paid the gate money. IL
was an enthusiastic and rather impartial
crowd, but entirely too free with its chin,
TO use a homely but expressive word.
The game was, in the first place, marked
by series OF
DIsGRACEFUL KICKS
on the part of the Standard. 1t is supposed
each team has Captain, who is its director
and spokesman. Sullivan is the Standards
Captain, and he should do all the talking
to the umpire. But in place of this Bark
ley insisted on doing all of the Directing, so
much so that every decision was followed
by its separate kick. Three several times
the game was suspended to permit gener-
al discussion of decision, in which the
crowd took q prominent but ill-directed
part. But. finally, by substituting Trainer
for Welsh, as umpire, in the eighth inning
the game was finished. Many Wheeling
gentlemen profeSsed themselves Disguised
with the childish behavior OF some OF the
Standards. There may as we'll be no UNI
pire if every decision he makes is to be fol-
l. - ha hnl HISNnlQ-
sion. 4 man should be selected i'll whom
both teams have confidence, and his Judg-
ment should settle all matters.
In the third inning, the Crockeries put
Sullivan in to pitch, retiring Darrah. Sui
liyan is very cute player, but his delivery
is very Que stionable. He has a neat trick
of drawing back his arm as il to pitch, but
instead, throwing the ball to the bases.
That this was
DECIDED BALE
was the Standards opinion, and when two
men had been thrown ont on third by this
means, kick eRsued. There is no doubt
that Sullivan can, after drawing back his
hand, either pitch or throw the ball, as he
pleased, and it is impossible to pre-judge
his intention. Welsh decided it no balE,
ter's stand would satisfy any impartial OBJ
server that the balk is evident. 1t should
be ruled out. 1t will also be worth while
for tc days umpire 10 decide whether Sulli-
vans delivery is good, as he sometimes
puts in an oyer-shOulder curve. He is
very good player and an admirable base
runner, but he is little too cute.
