WHEELING PUTS UP A FIEB GAMB OF
BALL
And Beats The Hamilton Team Eaiily-Gsnsral Fine
Work-An Eighisen-luning Game
at Dayton.

The real Wheeling team pranced out
on the Island park yesterday after
noon and administered a sound drnt-
bling to the visitors from Hamilton. There
were no counterfeits among them. The
genuine Jonathan Damn was back again
at thitd base, the only Colonel Spsidel
showed how how he could swallow can
nonade Of base balls at frat, and Michael
HobIecht's legs had their old familiar look
as they twinkled about in the left garden.
perkins" Kennedy was back in the box.
Perkins showed what nice work he was
capable of, aud his admirers who sat on
the bleaching boards had plenty Of oppOr-
tunities to exercise their lungs.
The Hamilton black legs were taken IN
to camp bag and baggage. Before the
third inning they were an humbled COM
munity, and remained so until the last
man was called out. Browner essayed to
pitch for them, and before he was through
he found thst he had the biggest contract
of his life on hands, The home team had
on its batting clothes. The hOodoO had
been shaken of and they found the ball
whenever the Hamilton twirler dared put
it close to the plate. Hobrecht led in the
smuggling honOrs, while Dunn, Williams
and Miller followed him close. Ryan
batted hard for the visitors, and put up
good all around game, bat outside OF his
work HamiltOn's playing was without any
feature of especial brilliancy.
A gentleman who rejoices in the patri-
clan cognomen OF Doodle Barrett lorded it
over the grounds where Messrs. Bartlett
and Butler had once ruled supreme.
Doodle WAS not infsllible, but he wac
vast improvement ever the last two UNI
pires, and he distributed his errors with
fair and impartial hand.
Neither side scored in The first inning,
though Wheeling should have done so.
With Damn on third, Bowman hit duster
to Wetterer, who fielded il to first in good
time, but joe White dropped it. Barrett
did moi see White drop the ball and called
Bowman out, thus retiring the side with
out q score. Ia the second, however,
HOwsll's pets got in their work.
They opened up their slugging batteries
aud the caunonade did not close until four
mea had crossed the plate. Miller led of
with nice single and Hobrecht came to
the bat with blood in his eye. He caught
the sphere Ia Sullivan, and it sailed far
out into centre field for two bases. VIII
liams, Dunn and Spsidel followed with
corking hits. Spside's wes two-bagger,
and scored all before him. The heroic |
Peggy, however, was left on second by
Haller's out.
Wheeling added one TO her score in the
fifth, three in the sixth. one in the seventh
and three in the eighth. All of them
were clean earned runs, pounded out by
batting.
Kennedy allowed the visitors only one
run up to the eighth inning. Then errors
by Miller and a hit gave Carr and Browner
their bases. Lancer got his base on error9,
and Higgins sacrifice scored Carr. Mike
Ryan was next ut bat. He solved Ken
uedy's curves for magnificent home run
drive, scoring al before him. and making
a total Of five for Hamilton. Neither side
scored in the ninth. Following is the
q III aia1 record.
