VI and in the afternoon
A they met "Buek's'
~ -lambe, or braves, -
several League papers
have seen ct to call the
Wheeling team, on the Island park, to
omen the championship season in this city.
They also met old Hollow-eyed Defeat,
which has been lurking around the home
grounds all this season and running UP
against visiting teams. But the Toledo
boys met him in Q graceful manner, and
not kick was heard during theafternoon.
However, they had no cause to growl, be.
cause Sullivan ampired good game, and
the only two bad decisions were against
Wheeling, when Otterson was called out Of
second and Stapleton at frat. All other
decisions were satisfactory to both teams,
and Wheeling won the game on its merits
by hard hitting.
The home boys evidently wore the same
batting clothes that they were attired in
on Wednesday and again performed the
feat of pounding pitcher ont Of the bon
ut the same point in the game where Mr..
Beatin, of the Detroit team, retired. The
visitors put in Gsstrieht at the start Of the
game, but the home boys got right onto his
delivery and lined the sphere all over the
lot, and several times over the fence. Al
the beginning of the fifth, Sales, who was
playing ct short, went into the box. The
boys failed to solve his delivery with any
degree of success in the fifth and sixth, but
they soon got onto him and pounded the
sphere pretty lively.
Morrison pitched for Wheeling and be
held the visitors down in splendid shape,
scattering their hits pretty well until the
eighth, when the Toledoians pounded the
ball pretty lively, making four scores.
Stencils work behind the bat was excel.
lent and he made numerous good stops and
threw well to second. Morrison's work
with the stick wss rather remarkable and
he led the batting list with two singles, q
double and home run, all madent oppor-
tune times when men were on bases. Nor
rison's batting is rapidly improving, and
II he keeps up 10 anything like his record
of yesterday he will bea terror TO pitchers.

yesterday, and showed Sammy TO be play
ing in his old time form. About Loco
people witnessed the game and all were
highly pleased, especially with the result.
