WHEELING BEATEN
IN TIE CANE WITH MARIETTA, YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.
The Homs Club Handicapped By the Fact that
Several Of the Best Players We're
Not Available.

Fifteen TO nine in favor or Marietta
was the result of the ball game yester-
day at the Irwin park, South Side, in
the contest between the Wheelings and
the club from down the river.
All things considered, the Wheeling
boys did well. They did the best they
could all through the game. That could
be seen in the last inning, when the
home club were so anxious Of victory
that they ran in two scores and Don't
van banged out long one nearly to the
fence, over the head Of the center
fielder. At that time the pitcher VI the
Marietta team was about as near
knocked out as he ever was in his life.
What handicapped the home team was
that none of their regular pitchers were
there, as neither Malcolm, the best
twirler In the club, nor Reiyer, could
get off to take part in the game. Pad
den. the second baseman, was not
there, and several Of the players had 10
play positions new to them.
The battery for the home team was
Baggs, Lucas end Chamber and that
of Marietta was Hastings and Collins.
Hastings proved that he was very hno
pitcher, having good control Of the ball
and a remarkable speed. In the last
part of the eighth inning Raggs was put
in the box for Wheeling, Lucas having
given out. The visitors could do moth
Ing with the new pitcher. They d!d
not even get hit of him.
The home team came TO the bat hrst.
Manley came to the stick. and the first
thing be did was TO lift the ball over
the left field fence. Donivan then pro-
ceeded to lift another over the fence.
Both these were fouls, however and
and Wheelngs did not score ia their
half. Marietta was retired 10 their
first half by an out at first aud double
play. In the second Inning, George
Nau knocked three Dagger. Cham
sbers singled. Edward Baker was
IAtruck in the head by a fast ball, and
was unable TO play with his usual avid
ity afterward. In this inning Cham
bers aud Marley scored. McLaren
and Thomas, in the Marietta half, were
out as fast as they come to the bat, one
on first and the other by caught fly.
Brodie knocked tWo.bagger, but did
not score.
In the third inning, the Wheeling
players filed the bases, and were able
TO make one score. In their half the
visitors made TWO runs. At the begin
ing OF the fourth inning the visitors
take the, lead for the first time. Baker
flew out, Baggs was out at first, and
Pritchard flew out 10 the left fielder.
The sixth inning was lively one
throughout. The visitors made seven
scores in this inning alone. They
kept the fielders busy chasing after
tbree-baggers and the like. Collins hit
the ball terrific belt and made home
run. The half Of the inning on the
part OF the home team was marked by
the first three coming tothe bat getting
out When the home team came TO the
bat n their part of the seventh inning,
Baggs and Lucas. the first two men
who came to the bat were both put out
on long liners. Then the WheeIings
began to make scores, and before they
had quit tney nau auueu tDIee W IueII
list. Donivan retired the side. The
half OF the visitors was characterized
BIZ the hree-bagger which Ryan knock
ed out, bringing 10 two more scores. In
the last half Of the eighth Inning, was
when Bags was put in the box to pitch.
Had he been put in the box earlier in
the game it is thought the result would
have been different. His curves were
puzzles TO the boys from down the river.
In the frst half OF the ninth the home
team took squirt and got in two runs.
II looked for a time like the home
players would make things lively for
the visitors, but the squirt proved TO
have been made too late. Wheeling
was game to the core, and did DOT give
up until the last man was out. Umpire
Jack Crogan gave the best OF satlstac-
ton. Attendance, 300. The score:
