There were sud and heavy hearts at
the Island base ball park yesterday af-
ternoon. The Cleveland Association
team defeated the home nine by score
of7to2. 1t was the third defeat TINT
Wheeling has suffered at the hands of
Cleveland within the week and while it
was hardly expected, after the two ter
rife drubbings that Cleveland gave
Wheeling at Columbus, that the latter
would win yesterdays game, a large
majority of the six or seven hundred
that attended secretly hoped that the
home players would be able TO keep nm
the splendid work that characteriz, i
their game on Thursday when Buffalo
was shut out, and by some lucky chance
be able to down the Cleveland men. But
this was not to be. In the first place
Blakely, the pitcher put in the box by
Cleveland, was a regular mystery; try as
hard as they could the Wheeling bows
could not possibly gauge his twirling.
and three scattered hits were all they
were able to boil him down for. Then
Morrison, who pitched for Wheeling,
was not at his best by any means. His
control OF the ball was yerypoor and the
frequency with which he gave the visit
ors bases on balls and at critical times,
too, made the enthusiasts groan with de-
spair. Added to these two serious OBJ
stacles in the way Of victory for Wheel

who was playing again in Otterson's
place at shert, that netted the Associa-
ton men two unearned runs. After
Lemons good work at short on Thurs
day, it was disappointment to see him
fail at important points yesterday.
The visitors played good sharp game
in the field, and were pretty handy at
the bat. The special features OF the
game were neat double play made in
the third inning by Albert to Mexican
to Faatz, and magnificent catch made
by Brodie in the seventh. The crowd
was quick to appreciate and applaud
both.
Sheppard again ofliciated rs umpire,
and subjected himself to abuse from
both teams, and ridicule from the sun
seats by his judgment on balls and
strikes. Cleveland got the worst of it
by his peculiar calling in the first part OF
the game, but before the engagement
was over he evened things up by giving
it to Morrison, Just Mt time when the
Wheeling pitcher was showing indica-
tons OF getting down to his old time
style OF sending the balls in.
The runs were made in this manner:
Lemons, the first man at the bat, got his
base on balls, stole second and high
throw to second let him make third and
then he went home on passed ball.
In the second Brodie, the first batter,
struck out. Stephens caught the ball
fair and square and lined it out for two
bases. Van Zant then mrde safe hit
to short center and Stephens raced in
home.
Hogan, VINO was first at the bat for
Cleveland, ,linoCkeda hotoneto Van Zant,
who made n fatal error by dropping it,
and Hogan was thus able to make his
base. Mexican was hit and got his base.

made short hit to left that let Hogan
home. Albert struck out. Gilks hit to
Lemons, and Mexican, in running to
second, deliberately ran into him MS he
was picking up the ball, He was de-
clared out for this. In the second Good
fellow made base hit past short.
Bakely hit to Lemons, who let the ball
60 between his legs. Hogan got his
base on balls. Mexican hit to short left,
letting Goodfollow home. Bakely at
tempted to follow him, but died at the
plate. Hoteling made hit to right that
Stevens failed to get and Hogan and Nc
Kean got home.

got his base on balls and stole second.
Goodfellow hit to Lemons and again he
let the ball get away from him. Bakely
got his base on balls. Hogan struck out.
Mexican hit TO far centre and enabled
Bakely to follow Faatz and Goodfellow
in home.
The official score is as follows:
