the hardest slugging contest ever seen
on the Island Park, The fielding on

times, Wheeling kept the lead up to
the fifth inning, but when the visitors
had finished their half they had scored
ten runs, and Mr., shamus, a newpitCher

thoroughly exploded phenomenon. The
score at the beginning of the sixth was
10 to in favor OF Hamilton, Some

amusement at best, and the laughs they
raised were among themselves, Dunn
went in TO pitch, and the visitors got
Just one run during the remainder Of the
game,
In the seventh and eighth innings
Wheeling knocked the ball all over the
field, and Browner retired in favor OF
Dolan, but he Jared no better. After
this the Gays" were heard no more.
Shamus pitched good game for four
innings, but his support was bad. He
appears to be q very clever young man,
but the fifth thoroughly disheartened
him. Browner, however, was hit Just as
hard. He had little command OF the
ball, and kept LaIser dancing all over
the backstop ground.

hit over short, steal and two wild
pitches. In the third Shamus hit a
beauty to center and crossed the plate
on passed balls and wild pitches, Dunn
