The game OF ball played at Island park
Yesterday afternoon by the Wheeling
and Springfield clubs was in striking
contrast with the game played by the
same organizations Monday afternoon,
when the sloyenly work Of the home
team and their disastrous defeat, coming
as 1t did on top Of previous bad work,
everyone, Yesterdays game
resulted in the complete shut out Of the
visitors by score OF s to 0. 1t was a
game on the part OF the recognized
Wheeling team that set the three
hundred aud odd enthusiastic patrons
who were present wild,
The field work Of the team, notwith-
standing the slippery condition OF the
grounds, was perfect and,in many par.

showed up In o style that was all that
could be desired, Fred Miller, who was
signed at McKeesport Tuesday, played
az short, and Freddy" Williams, Of Bel.
laire, the other new player signed, was
at right, while o. Rourke covered second.
The entire nine worked together SO like
q machine that there is no particular
praise to be bestowed, unless 1t be on
Miller, who had considerable to do and
did 1t all In an easy, dashing style that
caught immensely with the audience,
The visitors also played q good game
in the field, but at the bat they were at
the mercy Of that popular and promis-
ing young man Kennedy, who pitched
what was undoubtedly the best game
ever seen on these grounds. He was
unusually swift, and always reliable, and
was cheered tune and again. Up to the
seventh inning the Springfield nine went
out in one, two, three order. Stencil,
first at bat in the seventh got his base on
balls, but was caught, and the side re-
tired by q difficult double play made by
Miller. In the ninth after two men were
out WittroCk got in the only hit Of the
game made by his side, but was caught
trying to steal second. The result was
that only 81 sprlng6elds were at the
plate during the game, Thescore shows
that only 20 men were at bat, Stenzel's
base on balls not counting as time at
bat.
The runs were made as follows: In
the first inning 0'Rourke, first at bat,
went out on pop.up fly to Harris. Dunn
got his base by being hit by n pitched
ball and was advanced to second by
NlChol being presented with q base on
balls. Dunn then went to third on Q
short passed ball and Nlchol stole sec
ond, Williams struck out, and then
Speidel cracked out the FIRST hit Of the
game, and Dunn and NiChol both
scored. speidel was left on his base by
Miller flying out TO G. Westlake. In
the sixth, Williams, first at bat, got his
base by being hit with pitched ball

Ter and Bowman kept things red
hot by knocking out sin
gle each, and both stole Their
second base, Hobrecht, next at the bat
hit out q timely sacrifice, and Bowman
came home on 1t, Williams, speidel and
Miller having scored before him. Ken
needy followed Hobrecht, who was the
