Wheeling Wins a Game Yesterday
Which was not Much to her
credit-TFi.statc Games-Ball
Items Near aud Far,

MI. William Trainer, representing the
London, Canada, ball club, OF the Inter
national League, was here yesterday me-
g~otiating for the sale to that club OF
Pitcher Kennedy, He was told that
that players release could be purchased
for $500, and he at once tslegraphsd on
for authority to close the deal at that
figure, which will probably be done
to-day, There is no question that
Keunedy's days Of usefulness as a
Wheeling player ceased some time since.
By his own behavior he has fallen from
the position Of q prime iayorite, whose
appearance was nearly always the occa-
sion for applause, down to q point where
few, II any, have a good word for him,
and Instead OF applause Kisses and ex,
pressions OF derlston are given vent to
when he appears,
Kennedy was signed by Wheeling
early In tho Tri.State Leagues season at
$50 per month, He was recommended
tothe Wheelingm anagementbyamutu
friend, and his appearance with Wheel
ing was his FIRST with a professional club.
He made a splendid showing at hestart,
and until he got the big head and the
sulks, he was one OF the most valuable
playersin the League; he was Justly en-
titled to be classed US a "phenom." AS
h0 rose in the publiC's estimation his
head began to swell and he started in to
lush, and from the time he began to
drink dates the commencement Of his
downfall. Unsteady work in the box
began to show soon after tho drink
Ing began and 1t was not long till, Rs a
"phenom," he was thoroughly exploded.
Fines and suspensions had no effect for
good. He apparently made no effort to
play either at the bat, in the box or in
any field position in which he may be
placed, His rank work IN Yesterdays
game was a sample Of how he evidently
tries not to play. The Wheeling man.
agement was ut one time offered $500 for
him, but refused It; now they arc In
luck 10 get as much as 5000. Transferred
to some other club, an6 with more
salary, Kennedy will probably play the
game he is capable Of, and for time, at
least, prove q valuable man TO the club
that gets him.

The Athletics, Of this city, a lively

to Martins Ferry yesterday and were
defeated by the Woods club OF that

ing Wheelmen, newly organized as an
L. A. ", club, was held in the police
court room last evening, There was
manifest a good deal OF enthusiasm
for the success OF the new departure, and
among the suggestions for its success
was that a more comfortable place Of
meeting be secured, 1t Is possible that
the old Masonic hall, in the third story
Of the Grand Opera House building, will
be secured.
The committee appointed to select q
uniform reported progress and was con-
|tinued, and the club then went into an
election for permanent officers, which,
after q rather spirited contest, resulted
as follows;
PresIdent-C. Il. Hart,

Bnglers-John HrMCClure and James

Captain Mccoy suggested the advisa-
bility OF dividing the members into
squads for drill, and this will probably
be done. Many Of the members of the
club are also going into the Wheeling
Athletic Association for the gymnasium
practice and the benefit Of Instructor
SChambra's excellent training.
II is expected that a successful meet
Of n State Division will be held here
this fall. There are already over thirty

MANAGER HARIINGT0NASA PIrCaRR


Proves q Shlhing Mark tor WloclIng'a lit.
.ters-other Points ofthO Game.
BY the grace Of Manager Harrington,
Of the Canton team, the Wheeling club
was enabled to win yesterdays ball game
by a score Of n to ., Harrington, pre-
sumably feeling the need Of some exer
else and desiring to give his regular
pitchers a rest, arrayed his 1.-the form in
q black nadjy uniform and a big white
belt, and did the twirling for bis team.
He pitched q slow ball, giving 1t an I'm.
derhanded toss rather than a pitch, and
was lined out all over the field. The
only Wheeling players who were
not able TO reach bis delivery
were Zimmerman and Speidel; the
latter, however, was ~excusable for not
hitting the ball, owing to his broken up
physical condition. Shamus took the
honors In the hitting line; he was at bat
five times and got two home runs and
two single hits. His second home run
hit was about the highest and longest
ever seen on these grounds. Dunn was
close behind Shamus'in his stick work,
and Freddy" Williams was as pleased
as though he had struck a winner over
his two home run hits. The nineteen
hits aggregated a total OF iorLy.one bases
and netted eleven earned runs.
Shamus not only did himself proud in
the way OF batting, but he distinguished
himself In the pitchers box. He pitched
an excellent game, and puzzled all the
visitors except Berger, who got three Of
the seven hits made of him. They
would hit him-he only struck out one
man-but nearly every ball hit popped
up as an easy fly or went to the inlield,
which, badly crippled though 1t was,
rendered much better support than any
one had reason to believe it could give.
Mr., Harrington probably reasoned that
bis sluggers could bit Shamus hard
enough to oyerbalance what amusement
and profit the Wheelings might get out
OF his delivery, and thereby win the
game, and on the other hand that be
could we'll afford 10 lose, considering
what a lead his club has In the League
race. All oil his men, however, did not
apparently approve Of this, especially
Dummy" Ryn, who, as he saw his
manager being knocked around like
an eight-day clock while the
great majority OF the Cantons
failed to reach first base, became ex.

Miller was also disposed To protest at

to pitch a harder ball, But lie finally be,

The crowd was distressingly small.

in a very satisfactory manner.
