Wheeling won her first game sineo
beipg admitted to tho Iron and OH
league yesterday, but 1t was won on q
margin entirely too small for comfort.
hher 0urs had been retired IN the
sirbth the scoTo stood - TO 4 in Wheel
ms favor aud as Conover had been
piIching great ball, keeping the hts
beautifully scattered, 1t didn't occur TO
Snybody that the home team could pos
,ihls be beaten. However, those
Fma kiln boys are never beaten until
The last man Is out, and that they are
srs,t inishers nobody In Wheeling viii
Jsny, The first Franklinlte up in.the
sis6th was George Zeigier, WHO'S hold
ipr down third bag in place OF
"Biily" Niles, who has Joined
P~iHsburgh. Tho best he could do
wa, pop up a dy to Ball,
PinsharS the ex-rwiu, caught q
Iirligh! one and planted q single in
esnlre. Duncan, who had already made
v lwo.haggerS. landed safe for an,
othsr. Rinehart scoring. Then followed
singles by Fricken, Troy and Stuart,
and when the inning was over Franklin
had scored four runs and we're IN sight
OF the Weddings.
WheelinGs ware easy In the ninth,
only four men facing the pitcher, II OF
whom was sent to first on balls, Tho
visitors, however, rsopenud their fusil'
ada on Conoyer. Nettars led on with u
two.bagser, Boyd went to first on four
bad ones, and the Franklin coachers be-
can 20 make things lively IN tho ltnos.
The spectators, too, were getting very
anxious. Ziegler eased the pressure
BY hying u to krlkhoi In confer.
RineharI did the unexpected by hitting
for his second two.baSe hit, the two run
rer, scoring. Duncan followed with bis
fourth sale hit, Rinehart scoring, by
this tune IL began; 10 dawn upon the
spectators that Wheeling'a easy vie
tory had gone Gl:mmering, and visions
Of game lost in the fatal ninth became
general. Fricken popped up a little fy
10 Brodis at third, but he muiled it and
matters were worse than ever. Al this
.,ags Of the proceedings "Thad" Troy
cane to bat. Now Troy would like
n5,hing better than 10 line out n
hi. through tue indeld OF his old
team. COnovcr was getting some
what wild and soon the umpire's
table. showed three balls and one
strike. For come time the western sky
had been black and murky, and the
threatened rain began to fall. Umpire
McNiernsy called time, and for fifteen
minutes the rain came down steadily,
bat then ceased, and the teams marched
on the field again, tho Wheslings very
unwittingiy and the F~rankiins certain
Of a great victory. But when Herr Troy
faced the Wheeling pitcher II was e o
that Conoyer had been retired and
Wheeling's twirlinE pride, folly
Kane was in his place. Troy lined out
a no. one between fret and second that
looked good TO get by both CEot.y aud
Pritchard. "Priich," however, made n
great sprint for it, and although he
could not hold 1t, recovered himself in
time to assist TO second and retire
Fnckeu. With q mau on third and an
other on first ready TO 90 down TO Sec
oud, a siugle meant a franklin victory.
DnbbI. the pitcher OF tho visitors, was
at the bat. Kane knew the importance
Of retiring a weak hitting pitcher and
put them vel With plenty Of Wthskets.
'Ono," 1.-TWO" and Three was tho
tale, and Wheeling had won a contest
remarkable for the great uphill fight
made by franklin.
