milt West Makes One Rank Decision that
Loses Wheeling n Game-Other Games.
Mr.. Legs Mallory, the tall, slender gen.
tleman whose residence is Martins Ferry,
and who pitched baseball for the Wheeling
team Of 's7, and who this year has been
limbering up his arm in the Texas League,
went into the box for Wheeling yesterday.
against the Mansfield jays, and he held
them down in fine shape. In fact, had it
not been for glaringly rotten decision by
Milt West in the eighth inning, he would
have shut the visitors out.
Henry Morrison pitched for the visitors
and he put up good game, striking ont
an even dozen OF the Wheeling team, and
giving them only three hits.
Wheeling made her only run in the fifth
inning on Myers single, Mallory's sacri-
fee, wild pitch and passed ball.
Ia tine eighth the visitors got the bases
full on a muff by Hobrecht. hit by Nor
rison and an error by Dunn. One man
was ont and the next man at the bat hit a
long fly to Hobrecht, who gathered it in
"
to catch the man who started home from
third. Bowman caught the runner sew
eral feet off the plate, and everybody was
sure he was out, bu. Umpire West who was
standing down behind the pitchers box
not attending to his business, never ran
toward the plate but called the runner
safe, to the diPgust of every one present
Even the Mansfield people smiled audibly.
1t was a bum decision and West knows it
After this Myers made bad throw and
let two more runs in, and as Wheeling was
unable to make any in the ninth tie game
was Mansfield's, but not fairly, and they
can set 'em mp TO West for the victory.
10 to this time the game was ss fine a
one as has been seen on the hOne grounds
this season, and shows what the Wheeling
team can do with good pitcher in the
box.
Haller, who has caught every game for
four or five weeks, had q nail knocked of
in the third inning and had to give place
to Bowman, Dunn going to third and
Sbamus to right.

On March 13 he was drunk and quarrel
some. He had been drinking hard for
several days. On the night Of The 18th he
fought with the people in the hOnse who
we're friends of his wife, and cut the head
Of one man with water pitcher. Packen-

it was of no use. The keen-edged blade
was used with deadly eff.ct, seveIins tbs
jugular veins. Packenham was cleaning
the razor and washing the blood from him
self when the police came in and arrested
him.
