A GREAT VICTORY.
Wheeling Wipes Up the Earth with tn
Springfield Sluggers.


Springfield sluggers.
Perkins" Kennedy was an unsolved
mystery to the Springfield sluggers, and
Colonel Wittrock's graceful curves came
at just the right angle for the home team
to hit This accounts in brief for the mag
niflcent proportions of the victory won by
the Wheeling ball club yesterday. 1t wat

was well earned. The only error wai

The game on Springfeld's part was
rockey. Sterzel, one of Wheeling's old
time favorites, was at first, and was credited
with two errors, and the rest Of the club
succeeded in harvesting five more

then Wheeling broke Wittrock's heart
The first man at bat hit the ball safe, and
a regular fusillade began. 1t was kept uT
without intermissiOn for about ffteer
minutes, and the run scoring went on fast
and furious. Springfield gave able assist

game, aud little interest was taken in il

attempted to drop, when Sullivan hit MIN
with q vicious upper and under cut,
knocking him down heavily. Time l.
minutes.
Round 69.-Kilrain was knocked down
with right handler in the jaw. From this
pursued his running away tactics; drop
ping on every attempt of Sullivan to ad-
minister punishment.
THREW UP THE SPONGE.
At the close of the 18th round Mitchell
went over to Sullivsn's corner and asked
to have the fight declared draw, to
which Sullivan and his seconds responded
''No," 'No." Donovan then stepped to
the centre of the ring, and threw up the
sponge, amid scene of the widest ex-
citement.
Kilrain was toeing the scratch when
Donovan, his second threw up the sponge,
thus declaring Sullivan the victor. Kill
rain was by no means satisfied, but not
withstanding his protestations, he was
bundled up in black shawl and hurried
to carriage in waiting. Kilrain, Dono-
van, Butler, Murphy and Mitchell drove
rapidly to the train and entered their
car. Sullivan, Muldoon and Cleary
entered the fret coach. When Kilrain had
seated himself he was soon surrounded by
host of sympathizing friends who con-
soled him for mis- misfortune. Kilrain
wept like child, and continued exclaim-
ing:
II HAD HIM BEATEN"
A large crowd had followed the hacks, and
remained standing around the coaches
in which Sullivan aud Kilrain were.
Mr.. Stevenson, who had been Kilrain's
friend thrOughout, remained by his side
and sponged him occasionally, giving him
a drink of whisky and water. Kilrain
would not be consOled, but continued to
bemoau the lo;1 of the battle, which be
had hoped to win.
Charley Mitthell, Kilrain's trainer, held
himself aloof from him, however, but there
were many other friends of Kilrain there
to take his place.
IMPROPERLY TRAINED.
Referring to the fight, Kilrain said that
he had not been trained properly, and
that be was not in condition when he en-
tered the ring, and this seemed to be the
impression of every one who saw him
when he entered.
Az soon rs the two GladiatoTs and other
friends had seated themselves in the
coaches, the train moved eff at q rapid
rate Kilrain appeared to be suffering
more from mental than physical injuries,
and was gloomy.
His face did not betray the great punish
ment he had received at the hands Of his
big antsgonist. He had a cut under the
nose scro7l 10th lips, and his left eye was
slightly discolored and swollen. His
right hand had been injured by blow on
Sullivan's head, and his left instep
had been cut by the spikes on Sulli-
van's shoes, which cut through
the leather Of Kilrain's left shoe. He had
received terrible punishment about the
ribs, and doubtless suffered considerable
pain, but he gave no voice to his sgony if
any he endured. He claimed 10 have
been more overcome by the heat than by
the blows Of Sullivan.
