THE SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

Another victory was scored by the local
National League club by defeating the
Wheeling team. Jones pitched well. Herty
and Moore make a great record in the big
local six-day race. An intense struggle is
going on. Two more games were played in
the billiard tournament. The local Players
grounds are almost finished.
As rule there is much to interest and eI-
cite people at baseball game, but it is safe
to say that had all the wonderful features of
the national game been seen in Yesterdays s
contest the few spectators who saw it would
not have been happy. The weather was too
cold. 1t was awfully cold, and the ssnow-
flakes which fell made the surroundings
look dreary indeed. There were hardly 100
people present to see the game, and they did
not see a very good contest at that. or course
the local National League colts again walloped
the Wheeling Tri-State League representatives.
The latter ought really to have been shut out
had young Gray not made his appearance in
the box for the home players.
Old stagers like Dunlap. Hines and Sunday
had little too much respect for their health
and comfort to face the keen wind
TOO COLD FOX PAUL.
Hines did make bluff, but he retired at the
end of the second inning, and in doing so he
displayed bis wisdom, no matter what his ex-
cuse may have been. The game opened out
very well, and continued so until the seventh
inning. when Jones retired from the box, and
Gray took his place. The latter is a very young
man. and it is hardly fair to criticise his eff orrs
yet awhile. He has some good quail ties as a
pitcher and may some DAY develop into
frstclass man. But he is at times so terribly
wild that it would seem impossible for him to
pitch a winning game, even in moderate COM
pang. 1t may be nervousness that deters him
from doing better, but if he cannot soon get
clear of his wildness it will be dangerous to
risk him in a championship contest. Jones
pitched a good game, and only three hits were
made of his delivery in the six innings. He
was very cool and deliberate. The fielding of
the local players was poor. Hines in two
innings made two mistakes. Roat also made a
couple of bluHders. Youngman, however,
again did well. Kelly had had no fielding
chances, but so far he has not done much at
the bat
A PRETTY FAIR TEAM.
The Wheeling club has a very good team for
the class it is IN. Fitzgerald is not bad pitcher
and will probably be considered good one in
the Tri-State League. He pitches very puz-
zling ball. He was not hit very hard, but his
helders gave him very poor support indeed.
Ireland, not the Emerald Isle, the Wheeling
third baseman, made wretcbed display. He
not only fumbled the ball. but after fumbling
it, he invariably failed to discover what di-
rection it had gone. He was cold, however.
1ytle caught well and he is an excellent
thrower to bases. Zacharias again did salts
factory work umpire.
The Colts began well in the first inning
Hemp made a single and reached second on a
balk. Hines then cracked the ball far into left
field for two bases and Hemp went home. Mil
ler's sacrifice sent Hines to third and then La
Rogue was retired at first. Youngman thumped
out single to left, and Hines scored. Three
more runs were made in the fourth inning by
mistakes of the visitors. Miller led of and got
his base on balls. La Rogue few out to Os-
borne, but Youngman banged out double far
over the center felder's head, and Miller
reached home. Kelly struck out and Roat
reached first on tumble by O'Brien.
IRELAND's MISTAKES.
Roat stole second and Jones got to first on

Berger's grounder and Youngman scored. Ire
land fumbled Hemps grounder and Roat
scored the third run of the inning.
In the sixth inning after Kelly was retired at
first Roat sent out a two-bagger to center, but
was nabbed while trying to make a triple of it.
Jones made single and Ireland again fumbed
BeIgers grounder. wild throw by Armitage.
passed ball and tumble by Glenalvin SEM
Jones and Berger home. In the seventh inning
Miller led off with q two-bagger to center field
and after two men had been retired he scored
on a single by Kelly.
The visitors didn't score until the seventh
inning. They could do nothing with Jones' the
Mckeesport twirler. Gray, however, appeared
in the box in the seventh inning, and after
man had been retired he hit a batter with a
pitched ball. gave another his base on balls and
the next was put out at first. Then Glenalvin
knocked out single, filling the bases. Another
single by O'Brien, combined with errors by
Wilson, Roat and Hemp, passed ball and two
stolen bases sent in five runs. Two scratch hits
and life earned a run in the eighth. Follow
