The STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

Wheeliup had no trouble in defeating
Kalamazoo for the second time yesterday
in a well-played game. The home team
took the lead in the second inning, and
kept it throughout. Although the visitors
outfelded them, yet good and timely hit
ting made victory easy. Owing to Kim
Der being sick, he was unable to pitch, and
Kuauss occupied the box. He pitched o
very effective game, only allowing the
Michigan boys seven scattered hits, and
would have succeeded in shutting them
ont, had it not been for Yaik's muff oil
Nichols throw to the plate, which
let in their only rum. Crogan's
hitting was most timely, and
Otterson, Nicholson and Van SAINT did
good work with the stick. Knauss made q
remarkable catch of a red-hot liner from
CounelIs bat in the first that was loudly
applauded. Childs also distinguished him
self by a fine running catch Of Brodie's
Ay in the fourth. Yaik's throwing to
second was remarkably good, not one oil
the visitors being able to steal the bag on
him, although several tried the expert
ment with disastrous results. In the
third he andNicholson effected q very pretty
NAV. With Aldrich on third, Childs,
who had reached first on an error Of Sta
pletop's, ran down to second. Yak threw
10 Nicholson to cut him off md Aldrich
attempted to come home On the play, but
the ''Parson" returned the ball 90 quickly
that he was caught at least six feet from
from the plate.
For wheeling, Nicholson opened the
second inning with a corker TO lett for TWO
bases, went to third Oh a wide pitch, and
scored on Crogan's single. In the third,
with two men out, Nichol was hit by
pitched ball, took second on Otterson's
base on balls, and crossed the plate while
Riley was muffing Nicholson's fly. In the
sixth. with one man out, Otters0n hit safe,
stole second, went to third on Nicholson's
sacrifice, and scored an earned run on
Crogan's single. In the seventh, Van hit
out a o~ne-bagger, stole second, and scored
on Ysik's base hit. In the eighth, Otter
son drove one over the fence for two
basea. Nicholson and Crogsn went
ont. Stapleton hit safe, scoring
Otterson, and crossed the plate himself on
a single by Brodie and Van SAINTS double.
In the ninth, Nichol hit safe and scored
on Connell's wild throw to first to cut him
of, the hall getting lost in the high grass
over by the sun seats. Nicholson was hit
By the ball, went to second on a wild
pitch and came in on Crogan's base hit.
Total runs, 8.
Kalamazoo got her only score in the
seventh. Cornell hit safe, but was caught
mapping of first by Knauss. O'Neill got
his base on balls and went to third on
Daily's single. Calhone drove a long fly
ont to Sam. Nichol, and O'Neill started for
the plate. Sammy made a beautiful throw
to cut him off, but, to e~verybOdy's sur
prise, Yak dropped it and he scored.
Total runs, l..
Whether it is from the fact that the
Wheeling base ball public take it for
granted that the home team will win every
day, or whatever the reason may he, tho
attendance has been very slim recently.
Yesterdays crowd was the smallest that
has been seen on the grounds or Saturday
for a long time, only about 600 being pres.
emit. With the great work the team is
putting up now their admirers v TO
themselves to turn out in force and give
the boys q good send-off on their second
trip. The great Lima club, who are hust-
ling us 80 close for first place, will be here
Tomorrow and Tuesday, and will struggle
hard to get back into the lead. Two great
games are expected, and there will doubt
less be a very large attendance to see the
leaders strive for first honors.
The full score yesterday was as follows:
