The Score.

A stray current IIom the NVi'h AV'S
wandered about on the leland yesterday,
and toyed smorously with the professional
base ballist's whiskers. Five hundred
people braved it, and they would doubt;
less demand with one voice that the REG
IsrEK flash forth its boldeet, grandest and
loudest growing chan,ieleer to commem-
crate the occasion. Only the magnificent
proportions of the great American rooster
could convey TO the mind at glance the
height and the depth and the general all
oroundness of the walloping the Wheeling
team bestowed on the Detroit international
Leaguera. 1t was cold, cold day
for the Windy City boys. Our own took
in everything, good, bad and Indifferent.
They made more and harder hits, more
and dirtier errors, and ended by scoring
one more run than their opponents and
winning the game The contest was any
body's until the last man WAS ont; and 1t
WAS so exciting and at times so dissp-
pointing that the man with the bass horn
voice on the bleaching boards forgot TO LET
out more than one or two halt-hearted
horse fiddle screeches.
The features were the magnificent pitch
ing of Kennedy, the Bellaire boy signed
by Wheeling, Mannssau's great base run
ming. Dunn aud BOwmsn's work at the
bat, and Goodfellow's miserable backstop
work. The latter dignitary couldn't have
done much worse if he had tried, and to
his errors two of Wheelipg's runs are d.
rectly due. Mr. James GreeD, who covers
center garden for Wheeling, and Mr..
Michael Hobrecht at shortstop. were both
little off in their play in the first three in
Mugs. but redeemed themselves III fine
shape afterwards.
Knauss, the old Wheeling pitcher, WAS
in the box for Detroit, and the way the
balls csvorted around home plate showed
that his hand mad not lost its cunning, or
bis curves their very peculiar deception,
for which Mr.. Kuauss is noted. He was
relieved at the end of the fifth inning by
Zell, who pitched good game.
Ryan was first to bat for Wheeling and
hit three tremendous swi es at nothing
and sat down. Dunn hit safe. Green
flew ont; Peggy Spsidel got ball where
he wanted it, snd lined it out; Dunn was
on third, and five hundred cranks prayed
for hit, but Bowman failed 10 do more
than force the rapid Peggy out al second,
and the side retired. while the fOg-horn
man drew his voice into himself and sat
on it.
For Detroit, Day got his base on balls.
Campau famed the air, snd relinquished
the willow. McGlone raised nice little
easy fly to center. odd Reliable" Jimmy
Green got under it, and smiled. The emile
widened into grin as the ball came sail
ing down. 1t struck James hands-snd
gracefully bounded to the ground. 1t is
unne cessary TO say James felt tough. Then
thinner missed Kennedy's throw, and Day
and McGlone advanced base. HObrecht
fumbled Virtues hit, and Day scored on a
close decision, and while the Wheeling
team was wondering what had struck them,
McGlone rushed in and added another
tally.
In the second Hobrecht got his base on
balls, and went clear around TO home on
passed balls by GoOdiellOw. Detroit got
one more run on Hobrecht's wild throw
over first and GoOdfellow's out Wheeling
scored again in the third on Green's base
on balls, an out aud Bowman's hit. This
ended the run-get:iug for time. Several
times it looked like each side WAS bound
to score, but sharp work prevented it.
Detroit still had one of "A lead, ard
things we're beginning to look decidedly
blue for Our Own. when they came TO the
bat in the ninth. Mannassau was the
first at bat. Mr. Mannasssu hiss an acute
optic and got his base on balls. Mr.. Man
nassau is also SOmewhat of Splinter, and
at the first ball pitched 10 Kennedy be
made magnificent rush for second and
got there Kennedy flew out, and Ryan
got base on balls Dunn had been slug
giug the sphere at every opportunity, and
Dunn came next to the bat. Everybody
was waiting for hit 20 win
the game, Damn strickland miss
ed. Once again did he fan the
air, and just as Zsll was getting ready to
deliver what he intended should put
Jonathan in the puree, MGnnassau made
a wild dash for third. A frantic cyclic
mean howl from Csmpau announced the
rush, GOodlellow got the bsll and fired it
TO McGlOne, who let it slip by him, and
after Mannassau had rolled in the dust for
full minute he gathered himself and
made another dash for home and got there
Ryan took second Theu cane Dunn's
hit. 1t was z corker, and Ryan scored.
This ended the run getting, the score
standing four three in WheeliDg's favor.
Following is the official score:
