Yesterday-Ball News.

It was q mere handful OF people that
witnessed yesterdays game Of ball at
Island, Park between the Wheeling and
Hamilton teams, which resulted in
Wheelipg's favor by a score of Q to 0,
1t was the opening game OF Hamilton's
second series here and was one well
worthy the attendance Of u large and
enthusiastic crowd, aS 1t was one OF the
best played Of the season. The attend
anCe was distressingly small, there
not being enough present 10
more than pay the guarantee to
the visiting club, Had It been generally
known that Kennedy was to pitch for
Wheeling there would probably have
been much larger attendance, despite
the shower and threatening weather
which prevailed Just previous to the
calling OF the game and which doubtless
had the effect OF keeping many away
who would have otherwise attended.
Among those present was that man
with the saw-mill voice and who en-
leayored to make up what lack Of en-
thusiasm there was and succeeded nd
mirably. He was never in better voice
and he was on deck with it whenever
there wasa hit or good play made.
Kennedy was in good trim and pitched
q rafting good game, striking out eleven
men, The only time he showed sign
of weakness was in the third inning
when he gave two men bases on balls
after striking two out; fortunately, how
ever, the fifth man at the bat flew out
and this weakness awaited the
opposition nothing, Four paltry hits
were all that were made off his
superb delivery. Bowman excelled
himself behind the bat, his throwing tC
second being exceptionally good, and
with the stick he was regular terror tt
Mr.. Dolan, who labored in the box fol
the opposition and had II pretty hare
time OF it. He was slugged for clever
hits with total OF twenty, Dolan CoulC
not complain Of his support, for o
Wheeling's six runs, five were earned
by good honest hitting, The fielding
on both sides was good,
The runs were made as follows: In thu
first, 0'Rourke first at bat flew out II
Higgins, who was playing in outer q
that time; he exchanged places Will
Dillon behind the bat in the fourth in
ming. Dunn, second at bat, hit two
Dagger over the right field fence, and got
to third on a passed ball. NiChol STRUCK
out performance he repeated twice
afterwards. Williams and Speidel follow
cd with hits, and Bowman cracked out {
double that scored Williams, who also
had steal to his credit. Dunn hat
scored OH Williams hit. Bowman and
Speidel were left on bases by Miller fly
ing out to Weihe. In the third, NiCho
opened with two.bagger. WilliamI
made a sacrifice. Speidel made two
Dagger, scoring NiChol. Bowman fol
lowed with n single that scored Speidel
In the eighth, after Nichol had struck
out, Williams got a hit. Speidel madC
n sacrifice, aud then Bowman sCOreC
Speidel with his three-base hit. In tn,
ninth, aftertwo men were out, 0'RourkC
got to second on a very bad throw o
Whites and scored on Dunn's three
base hit.
The same clubs will play again to-day
shamus the new pitcher from Erie, vii
probably pitch for Wheeling.
