The cnumerator chosen by the Coun-
Gil Committee on Ordinances to take the
population of the Seventh ward, Mr..
Maxwell, sr., reports n falling off in the
last year OF 1877 in the ward. This is so
evidently mistake that there is big
kick over it on the Island and it has
been decided by the Logan club to meet
this evening ut the hall over the hose
house to take steps to have the census
corrected. A good attendance is i'm
portant. The Island has perceptibly in
creased in population since year ago,
Even in the Fourth ward, where no
such squirt was visible rs in the Seventh,
the enumcrator reports the total popula.
ton us 3,75l, an increase Of lS2 over
1850. The Island should be set right in
the figures,

The Lima team was expected to arrive
from GAINESVILLE last night, but they did
not come. They will arrive here this
morning, however, and play with Wheel
ing the last three games that will be
played here till June l6-tive weeks.
Wheeling ought to win these three
games in order that she may start out on
the road with a record and standing that
will be almost impossible to break be-
fore getting back home. The Lima boys
are now in third place, and they are am
bilious. The Mansfield News says they
never get ratified and play ball from the
start. The GAINESVILLE Timcs-RecOrd says
they are the best managed and best
drilled men yet seen there. They are
all large men and will make Wheeling
work to win. Any lame work by the
Wheeling team, such as was shown in
the Jackson series, means disastrous de.
feat with Lima. These last three games
willprobably be the best yet played here,
and should draw well.

The end OF the third week OF the Tri-
State Leagues championship season
finds Wheeling well in the lead in the
race for the penant, and thereshe should
remain, but whether she will is uncer-
tain, and as Rem Milford, of the Cincin-
matt Times-Stdr, has sagely remarked, it
is lust that uncertainty-that remarks
BILE unCertainty-that makes the Ameri-
can game of base ball the greatest sport
in the universe. Columbus by winning
Yesterdays game split the tie between
that club and Lima. The latter club
plays Wheeling and GAINESVILLE this
week, and the games she will win
and lose will probably leave her at the
end Of this week where she is now,
Canton is close fourth and may claim
third place by Saturday. GAINESVILLE is
punched in close enough to Canton to
inspire hope that she will pull up "a
that team before the week is over. Kal
amazoo and Toledo in sixth place are al
the halfway station, and don't know
whether they are coming or going
Mansfield is nm even hundred points be
hind them, and Jackson and Sandusky
are ieasting together on the mold in the
Cavern OF Defeat. The standing OF thu
climbs is AS follows:

SATURDAYS game ut Island Park be.
tween the Wheeling and Jackson ball
clubs was won by the former by score
OF 10 to 5. Between 700 and 500 people
took advantage Of the splendid weather
and witnessed the game, which was
marked during the first four innings by
loose work on the part OF both teams
and during the balance OF the contest by
sharp, decisive work that it was apleasure
to watch, especially after the school
boy work that characterized the first
part of the game. Jackson was vir-
tually presented with her first four
runs and the men in both teams were
given to understand by their respective
managers that they were there TO play
balI-not to make monkeys Of each
other. After these reprimands there
was general bracing up and good play
ing.
Morrison's work in the box was quite
satisfactory to his friends. Nichol and
Delahanty sized up Phalen for home
runs and there were others who belted
the sphere Mt seas9nable periods. Spell
del, Wheeling's first baseman last year,
played rafting good game on that bag
Tor the visitors and led that side in bat
ting. So well pleased with him was
Manager Burbridge that he signed him
and he will Join the team at Canton to-
day. The umpiring OF Sullivan was not
rs bad rs it has been, but it was bad
enough, especially for Wheeling.
The official score is as follows:
