NUMBER FOUR.
wHEKI1Ns WINS HER FOURTH COSSRCU-
TIyBGAMB, YESTERDAY.
Ths Kalamazoo Battsrs are Moved Down By Franz
Knaass, and Only Succssd in Getting -Four
His-0hsr Notes.

The base ball team from Kalamazoo met
tina home team on the Island park yester'
day afternoon in the first of series OF three
games, and Wheeling won her fourth con.
secutiye championship gnms, by score oil
nine to one. About 300 people witnessed
the game and they saw the Wheeling boys
again attired in their batting clothes, the
record being eleven hits with a total OIL
twenty one bases. OF course the contest
was somewhat one.sided, but it was a
splendid game. The Kalamaz,o's put
Aldrich in the box and Wheeling got on to
him in very fine shape, while the visitors
were unable to solve Knauss' delivery,
notwithstanding their assertion that they
would have to knock him out of the box
They only got four bits off Kuauss, and 9
number Of them famed the air In their
attempts to hit the ball. Frank is surely
making an enviable record for himself
Yak, as usual, backed him up in splendid
style. Wheeling telded in splendid form,
only one fielding error being made. II
looked very much for o time as il the game
would be stopped before the fifth inning
on account of rain, but fortune favored
Wheeling and the game continued TO
close.
Otterson started of by getting life or
O'Neills error and going on to third on
his wild throw. Nichol died at first and
Delehanty waltzed up to the plate ano
lined out home run over center fence
amidst wild applause. However, no more
scores were made in that inning. Both
sides goose egged until the fifth, when YAH
hit safe, stole second and third and wen
home on wild pitch. In their half O
this inning the visitors made their only
score. Riley got life on five balls, weut
to second on Dailey's hit to Stapleton ano
scored on Dryers Dagger.
In the sixth, Wheeling made another
With two men out, Stephans got one in the
right place and lined 10 over center fence fol
home run. The next score was made
in the eighth. Delehanty hit safe, weni
to second on Stapleton's hit, third on
shorts error, and home on a wild pitch.
S,apleton got as far as third by steal and
wild pitch, but was left there. In the
ninth Yak fouled out, Knauss got life
on Riley's error and went to second on OF
terson's single. Both were advanced on 9
passed ball, Nichol flied out, and Knauss
and Osterson scored on Dslehanty's single.
Del. went to second on an error and home
on Stapleton's fine home run drive over
centre fence. This ended the game, as
the visitors failed to get man further
than fist in their half.
Following is the official score:
