PITCHER KRVNN KNOCKED OVT



The Wheeling and Dayton ball clubs
appeared at Island Park yesterday after
noon in the custody Of a special deputy
sheriff in the person OF Mr.. Bob Doven'
or. Whether or not he was q hoo.doo
for the visitors has not yet been def;
nitely decided, but the fact remains that
they were defeated in a game Of seven
innings by the crushing score Of 90 to s.
In the morning, when the counsel for
the players made IN application before
Judge PAUL. for a writ Of habeaS corpus,
for the purpose Of testing the jurisdic.
ton OF Justice OF the Peace Arkie in the
matter Of the seCond arrest Of the play
ers for playing. ball on Sunday, the
players passed from the custody
OF the sheriff to that Of the
court. When the hour arrived for the
players to 90 10 the grounds for their
game, the hearing OF the application was
still in progress, and permission had TO
be obtained from Judge PAUL Tor the
players to absent themselves from court.
They were given in charge Of the sher-
III, and allowed till Q o'clock In the
evening to play their game. The sheriff
made Mr.. Dovener q special for this oc-
caBion.
The teams did not reach the grounds
I'LL about five minutes before the time
for calling the game, so that there was no
time for practice. The spectators were,
II anything, fewer in number than on the
day previous, and before the game was
called the number had been reduced to
almost a bakers dozen, for despite the
heavy hitting the game grew To- be very
wearisome.
The visitors had a new plcher for the
home team to run up against in the per-
son OF young Krumn, the P%ennsylvan.
i'm whom Pittsburgh gave q trial at the
time that clubs pitchers were all on the
sick list or knocked out. Pittsburgh
put him against New York in a game
played in the East In which the Giants
got eight hits of him and won the game
BY q CLOSE scorc. Yesterdays appear
ance was Krumn's debpt in the Trit
State League, and TO- state THAT
the reception he received was warm ts
TO put It mildly; It was red'hot, and
at the end Of the third inning no re-
tired to cool Of. In the FIRST inning
there were nine Wheeling men at bat
and Krumm was touched for three dou.
bles, a triple and a single, and gave Q
base on balls, which with a steal netted
fyeearned runs. In the second fourteen
Wheelingites stepped to the plate and
pine OF them scored, three Of the runs
being earned. In this inning Krump
made two wild pitches, gave three men
bases OH halls and had six single hits
made OF hint all this with Q passed
ball, two steals and errors by Krumm,
Prescott and Lyons, made things very
tireBome for the scorers. In the third
Krumm had three hits made off him
and gave two men bases on balls. There
were three steals, a passed ball and or.
rors BY Prescott and Williams In this
inning, and three Of the four runs were
earned.
Manager Q'Rrien took Krumm's place
after this, and IN the remaining -FOUR In.
nings had only four hits made of him
q single, two doubles and q homer. He
made one wild pitch and his field did
the balance Of the execution by their
rank errors. OF the Ave runs made
while he was IN tho box only one was
earned.
Up 10 the third inning the visitors at
the bat went out ip . ONE, two, three
order. After that there were mon pp
the bases and Meehan, who pitched for
Wheeling, gave every one the horrors
BY his slowneBs Of delivery. A runner
eau steal bases with impunity when
Meehan is In the box; ho appears 10
hayo dyes for no other player but the
one at The bal, and thetimeho consumes
In aiming al him, makes stealing az
easy as rolling of q log, and prolongs
Tho game itighttully. The errors OF
HobteCht and Halter allowed two un.
earned runs TO DO made Ia the gith.
The others were earned by. hits and
steals, MeehRn's delivery when II was
finally made was quite effective.
The game had 10 be called a. tho end
Of the seventh In order 70 allow the
players 10 get back 10 Court by 0 O'clock.
