Notes from the Diamond.
The Moundsville base ball nine has
arranged to play the Darlington nine at
the latter place Saturday afternoon.
At last Saturdays game in Jackson
when it was so cold that spectators almost
froze, there were three hundred ladies in
attendance.
"Puggy" Speidel, who Joined the Jax
team when It was here, has had a sore
hand which has prevented him from
taking part in any OF the games played
in Jackson thus far.
The Black Diamonds and Uniteds
played on Tunnel Green yesterday, and
the Diamonds were victorious by score
OF 10 to 10. Batteries, Williams and
Hills; Knabe and Engel. Struck out,
by Williams, u; by Knabe, 8.
SANDY" McDermott, one OF the Tri-
State League umpires, has been offered
the position OF manager Of the Toledo
team, made vacant by Harry Smiths
forced resignation. McDermott has ac-
copied the place, and forwarded his re-
signation as umpire.
Manager Curry, of the Columbus
team, telegraphed President McDermith
that he would only play the games at
Lima under protest because Of Sulliyan's
being stationed there as umpire. He
said that he would rather play under q
local man than Sullivan.
Wheeling has asked Pittsburgh $500
for Delahanty's release. II the leaders
in the Tri-State League are smart they
will keep their good players. Nashville's
fate is enough to warn managers of sue
cessful clubs OF the folly OF disposing OF
star players. The Nailers may need
Delahanty il they expect to win the PEN
nant.-Cincinnati TimeS-StGr.
A great game OF ball is to be played at
Island park this afternoon, between n
nine from the police force and one from
the clerical force ut the Public Building.
The game will be started at o'clock and
stopped when darkness interferes. A
feature Of the police play will be the
daring sliding OF that feather weight,
Jake Watson. Bobby McNichol will
pitch for the "coppers,p and it is said
several league representatives are here
inCognito for the purpose OF watching
his curves. The clerks promise to do
great things.
A story is going the round OF the Tri.
State League press, which with few ex-
ceptions is dead set against the Wheeling
team, to the effect that in the Sandusky-
Wheeling game when Wheeling was de-
ieated by score OF Ito 6, Easton, who
was pitching for Sandusky, was spiked
in the left hand in the fourth inning as
he was sliding to second, and Bucken-
berger having refused to allow the San
duskys to put another pitcher in the
box, Easton pitched the game out with
one hand in sling. That is a sample OF
the quay tales going.
other Tri-state Games Played Yesterday.
At Kalamazoo -Tho game between
Kalamazoo and GAINESVILLE was genuine
match such as was played away back in
the days when the pitcher tossed instead
OF shot in the ball. GAINESVILLE hit the
hardest and oftenest and SO won. The
local team felded well and held Zanes-
ville's runs down, but at the bat were
unable to bunch their hits, after the
fourth inning, when Duck commenced
to get in his work. Kazoo should have
had two runs in the eighth inning, but
the umpire thought otherwise. The
score:
