Uncle Dan Crotty's wagon tongue was
not very much in evidence in yester-
days game. but Leamon had a Vaughn
tongue. and it helped to make things
lively. Leamon is quite a coacher. His
voice IS a cross between d fog horn
note and distant thunder. and he pos
sesses a vocabulary of base ball slang
that would make Jack Crogan turn
green with envy. But Leamon is not
a success as a squeezer. McGinnis'
cannon ball delivery knocked Smith
ont in the first inning, and LeamOn took
his place. lie could not handle the
speed Of the eX-WashingtOn twirler,
and to this fact as much as anything
else is due the second victory Of the
home club. Wheeling won the contest
in the first, when four lucky hits were
made with total OF eight, scoring five
runs. four of which were earned.
The morning game was postponed on
account of the lateness of the hour when
the Buffalo Bill parade started. There
was but a handful of persons present.
The crowd in the afternoon was large,
and exceedingly noisy. The roofing
was intended to be good natured. but
some of the fans in the grand stand
INDUCED in personalities which
should not be tolerated by the manage
ment The game was called at 4:30,
and it was nearly sevei o'clock when
il was over. Very little interest was
manifested after the first inning, and
most eff the spectators lett when it
looked like Wheeling had a grave
ward cinch" on the victory. McGinnis
pitched a splendid game after the first
inning, and the contest was scrappy
all the way through
Wheeling started out to paralyze the
delivery of the high salaried twirler,
and after five men had crossed the
plate, the visitors appeared to become
disheartened. Ball led off with a lucky
hit after two strikes had been called.
The crowd in the grand stand whistled
Sweet Violets. and the sprightly Gus
JOdian of the left garden came up smil-
ing and punched the sphere for a clean
single i'm left field Ball going around to
third. Uncle Dan swung savagely
three times and missed. Smith failed
to hold the ball and Crotty was thrown
out at first. Ball coming home Glass
cock hit a little fly which fell safe in
left field. and Violet crossed the plate.
Kerr famed. and LeamOn, who had
taken the place of Smith behind the
bat, allowed the ball to pass through
his fingers. giving the Canuck a life,
and scoring Jack Shaw banged out a
long fly to centre field which Cooper
started after but failed to get. He
could not find the ball and Shaw COM
pleted the circuit of the bases. Kalk-
hOff went out at first. and Davis was re-
tired on fly to shOrtstOp.
In the next inning, after Staley had
been thrown out at first, Ball reached
that bag on an error by Ritchey. Violet
drew a base on balls. Crotty went out
on long fly to right field. and Ball
came in GlasscOck's single scored Vio-
let McGinnis only allowed Wheeling
TO make three hits after the first inning,
and none of them figured in the two
runs which were made. In the sixth
GlasscOck got a life on Wagner's bad
throw. stole second and third, and
crossed the plate on a wild pitch. In
the eighth KalkhOff walked, went to
second on a wild pitch and came in on
Staley's out at first, after Leamon had
dropped the third strike.
The visitors were shut out without a
run until the fifth inning, when they
got in the game to some extent. Lea
mon hit the ball in the inield and
reached first ahead of it McGinnis
got a life on Balls tumble and Leamon
scored. Barrett knocked out a nice
double to left. Rickert hit to left scor-
ing NcGinnis and advancing Barrett to
third. He attempted to steal second
and was caught. but Barrett came in
on the throw. One more run was added
in the ninth on a double by Leamon
and a single by Barrett.
Both pitchers were given good sup
port. Staley pitched straight speedy
ball. and IL was generally knocked up
i'm the air and fell into the hands of a
fielder. Sixteen of the visitors were
retired on fly balls. Violet made sew
eral very pretty catches in left field,
and Ball. Crotty and Shaw played a
splendid game in the inheld. Ritchey
also PLAYED well. and was several times
applauded for brilliant stops. The
