ed to the visitors in the last half Of tho
ninth inning, when 1t was necessary for
them 10 make three runs to tie the score
and four to win, Alcott, first at bat, was
given his base on balls, two OF which
should have been called against him us
strikes. Smith then hit the ball past
third aud so far outside the foul line that
Dunn had to run over the bag In his en-
deavor to get 1t, The ball was plainly a
foul, but Barrett called 1t fair, and It had
to be scored US q single. Remsen then
flew out to Hobrecht. That very much
rulCedup comedian, Burchard, thenstep'
ped 10 the plate aud managed to get to
lirst very easily by pretending to have
been hit by a pitched ball, 1t was about
the nerylest thing ever attempted and
successfully carried outon these grounds.
Carey, the kicker, was next at bat, and
he hit a ball Just as Smith had done
beyond third and outside the foul line.
II was even q more apparent foul than
that hit by Smith, but Barrett called It
fair, and Carey got his base, while Al.
colt and Smith scored. A passed ball
put BurChard on third and Carey on
second, and then Kelly smashed out .

won the game.
The spectators and the Wheeling play
ers were simply p~aralyzed with indigna'
ton over Barrett's performance, 1t was

lied his work in the trying position he
occupies,
nthe fourth inning he made another
decision similar to the two above de-
scribed. Burchard knocked 4 foul fly
over back OF first, that Barrett called fair,
much to BurChard's amusement Had
he supposed the ball would be called
fair he could easily, fat and e%lephantine
in movement US he Is, have made second
base on 1t.
Mansaeld's first run, made In the first,
was by Kelly, who, after Carey having
gone out at first, got a base on balls,
stole second, went TO third on q hit by
O'Brien and scored on an error by
Speidel, who failed to put out Bird on
Dunn's assist, but recovered the ball in
time to nut O'Brien out at the plate, us
he was trying TO follow Kelly In after
having stolen second. In the third after
one man was out Carey got to second on
a bad muff by Hobrecht Of Ills easy lily.
Kelty followed with his home run hit
and 0'Brien came next with his two.

wild pitch, and followed Carey and Kelly
across the plate on a hit by bird.
Wheeling scored three runs in the
first after two men were out. Speidel
led off with a two.hase hit, Halter got q
base on balls and then Hobrecht again
distinguished himself by lining out
another one OF his home run hits. In

pitch and two very yellow errors by
Rurchard aud Bird. In the seventh
Dunn got to first on Williams put out,

orders with fines. One OF Carey's mean
tricks was a very apparent effort to spike
Haller, which happily did not succeed.
Another contemplate thing that Carey
aud his gang did between them, was to
make away with the first new ball
thrown out, before II had been pitched.
The ball was properly sealed when de-

and Burchard was q very dirty anna

into some ones pocket. Carey refused
to play with tho ball he claimed to have
found in the t%in-ioil, and had the gall to
intimate that President Howell had sub.
stituted the bad ball for the good one.
Mr.. Howell got boiling mad oyer this
aud intimated a desire To punch some,

over this which continued throughout
the game. There was much OF the
comedy element about the game, and it
