SOME FINE SHARP FIELDING
Marks wheellnE's Play Yestertny-oths
GAmes Played.


Wheeling defeated Mansfield at the
Island Park yesterday afternoon in
very close game. Up to the ninth in
ming the game belonged to either team,
but in that inning Wheeling pulled
away from Mansfield by scoring two
runs on Crogan's safe hit and Lemons's
wild throw Of Stencils hit. The features
OF the contest were the sharp fielding OF
Wheeling and Nichols long home run
drive to left center in the third inning.
Mansfield hit Morrison hard, having a
total OF eighteen bases, while Wheel
ing's hits only aggregated fourteen. Nor
rison was somewhat wild, giving four
men bases on balls and making two
wild pitches. Stencils running catch
OF a fly in the fourth inning elected the
widest applause from the spectators,
and caused Van Zant to exclaim, "Well,
what do you think OF that for right
lielderw Speidel, who is playing third
for Mansfield, was Cheered when he
came to the bat in the second inning.
Mr.. Dean, of Lancaster, Pa, the newly
appointed umpire, OBLIGATED for the
first time and gave satisfaction in every
thing except calling strikes, in which he
roasted Morrison.
Mansfield scored two runs in the sec
ond inning. McVey and Speidel got
their bases on balls and crossed the plate
on Lersch's sacrifice and Dillon's hit to
left. Wheeling braced up in the third
and piled up three runs on safe hits by
BrOdie and Otterson to right and Nich'
OILS home run hit to deep left centre.
In the fifth, after two men were out,
Nicholson made beautiful stop OF Oar
rows line drive to second, but threw
wild to Crogan. Green then punched
out u home run over the right field
fence, and McVey made the third score
by tapping out beauty to left for three
bases, and crossing the plate on wide
pitch.
In the sixth Stencil was given life on
tHarter's muf OF Speidels throw. lie
stole second and went to third on
Lemons tumble OF Van Zant's hit, and
both came home on Brodie's hot drive Ia
center. Otterson hit to left and trotted
around to third on some very yellow
throwing, scoring on MorrisOn's safe
short hit to the infeld. Dillon made q
terrific hit to left in this inning, but be-
ing too ambitious was thrown out at the
plate by the sharp fielding OF Brodie,
Otterson and Van Zant. In the eighth
Van Zant scored on safe hit to left and
Morrison's hit past second. McVey hit
TO right for two bases and came home on
Lersch's corking hit to center. In the
ninth Wheeling added two more runs "a

HISTORY OF TnE ORDER.
How Il has Become Great Order within
PGrIol Of Eight Years.

How II has Become Great Order within q
Period Of Eight Years.
The order OF the Sons OF Veterans was
organized in Pittsburgh November 70
1881, by Major A. P. Davis and Mrs
DAVIS, There were eight boys, nearly
all under fourteen yearp Of age, present
and from this humble beginning the
organization has grown to be vast army
OF qbout $4,000 men, 10000 Of whom are
in actual good standing, uniformed and
equipped, and has foothold in every
State OF the Union except four. 1t ex-
tends from ocean to ocean and from the
lakes to the gulf, and comprises in its
membership many OF the most distin-
guiahGd men OF the country,
Strict military discipline prevails, the
rules governing the Camps being more
rigid!y enforced than those OF any other
order. For this reason the membership
is luctuating.
The Sons OF Veterans is destined to
become one OF the most thoroughly Or
gqnized and equipped bodies in the
country, aud in this respect is far ahead
of the &. A. R., whose place it will take
within generation. 1t complete in all
its appointments, the organization
possessing all the features Of IN army;
is commanded by n General, who is
Chief OF all the divisions in the United
States; and by reason Of these features
comprises vast reserve army4s efficient
almost as the regular militia. 1t is pre-
diCted that in a very few years the Or
der will have fully haif.million MEM
bers.
Some idea Of its rapid growth may be
obtained from the statements that dur
ing the past year $4,000 names have
been added to the rolls. a properly
equipped camp Is uniformed, armed and
drilled rs military company, the uni
form being similar TO that OF the United
States Army. A valuable and rapidly
increasing auxiliary is the Ladies' Aid
Society, organized about two years since.
Its objects and aims are similar to those
Of the Womens' Relief Corps, and it is
composed Of the daughters Of veterans
and the daughters, sisters and wives Of
sons of.veterans.

knew when he started the ball TO roll.

Wheeling AS the train was passing
along Seventeenth street he tried to

The decision in the case OF John
Ehmann, Secretary OF the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly, charged
with publishing the names Of Knights
Of Labor in good standingi in the "Black.
sheep" column OF bis paper, the Budget,
and tried before n lodge court, has been
given to Prosperity Assembly No. 1851,
OF which Ehmann is member. The
opinion OF j. II. Burt, who was the
Judge, is quito a lengthy one; it reviews
the evidence and bases the decision OF
the court on the ground that the "black-
list" OF the Budget is controlled exclu-
sively by the Trades Assembly, and that
the publisher OF the Budget could not
refuse to publish names ordered to be
inserted therein even il he 80 desired.
After this had been announced to the
assembly, Ehmann was formally de-
clared innocent OF the charges.
The charges against Ehmann were
brought by members Of the Renwood
assembly whose names appear in the
black list, and the case was prosecuted
in their interest by Thomas Clark and
Joseph i. Evans, prominent members OF
the order at Pittsburgh. 1t is not at all
improbable that the matter will be car
ried up higher.
