The Dayton ball players arrived here
yesterday to play their second
series, and in the afternoon at Island
Park opened the engagement by laying
the Wheeling club out by score of 10
e, In doing this they were render
ed valuable : assistance by John
Gallagher, OF Bellaire, lately released by
Hamilton, who was In the box Tor
Wheeling, He made his first appearance
with the home club memorable, by giY'
ing four men their base on balls, hitting
four Others and making two triRhtully
wild pitches, one OF which scored two
men. Wild was no term for the per
Torrance OF this new aCquisitioni II
was dangerous, both for the opposllg
batters and iorthe standing Of the club IN
the percentage table and in the estina'
ton OF the public,
The attendance was considerably bet
ter yesterday than that OF Wednesday,
despite the threatening weather, There's
son for this was very apparent the mag

| lies mind confidence and enthusiasm,
Yesterdays crowd was ready and an1'
ious TO give the home team all possible
encouragement the man with the four
ply fog.horn voice, who 10 reported 70
have been suppressed by some superolti'
cious official several weeks age, was again
on hand and woke the echoes with q
blast when O'Rourke, first at bat knock
ed out q double, that was answered BY
the audience with cheers. GallagheFs
work, however, knocked the audience
cold and it was q very disguised lot Of
citizens that left the grounds, and they
could not be blamed for feeling that way;
the loss Of three games inside oil q week
by reason OF the wildnessand ineffective
ness OF pltChesr, is q pretty hard dose
for even the most enthusiastic Of patrons
to swallow, The field work OF the team
was clever enough, 0'Rourke's errorbe
ing the ouly one that cost anything,
but perfect field work could not save
any club from defeat with such work
being done in the box as that done by
Gallagher. Just why he was signed 80
soon after being released by HamI ton
does not appear; the club is hardly In Q
condition to try experiments. II is said
OF Gallagherby his friends, that after DO
ouce gets settled that he can pitch an OK:
Cellent game with all the curves, and
great speed,
The game put up by the visitors was
very Creditable In all respects, and
showed much improvement over what
they were able to do when here before,
Wheeling's run in the second was
made by Hobrecht on a double, Q steal
and q high throw by Lyons to Chrlsman
in an endeavor to cut him off, The one
in the sixth was made by o. Rourke, who
led of with his triple and was driven
home by. Nichols two.bagger.
Dayton's first run was made by Chris
man, who made a hit, was forced to sec,
ond by Stephens being hit by pitched
/ ball, went to third on passed ball and
home on PresCott's putout. In the Nth
, after one man was out, that error o.
O'Rourke's gave Chrisman q llIOi
Stephens got lis base on balls; ChrlsMau
who lad stolen second, attempted to 6;
to third on Prescott's hit do yn to Dunn
and was put out, Prescott getting to first
McAllenny and Williams followed, eacl
with doubles, and Stephens, Prescott
and McAllenny scored, In the sixth
Dewald got a hit, stole second and third
and scored on q hit by Randall. In The
! seventh Prescott and McAllenny opened
with hits and steal by tho latter,
} passed ball and a wild pitch did the bal
ance Of the business.
