The Iron and Oil League, ana e-i0 w.
Interstate clubs Will furnish their IuiI
oro-a. Yesterdays game was scrappy
enopgb for anybody. The result was
=, 5,rhr until the last man was re-
-irod in the ninth. Wheeling fairly
earned the game. but pulled out OF an
sv,f,l hole in the ninth, thanks to folly
Kane's strong right wing. Manager
Bovd didn't like to lose il. The word
has been given out up in Pennsylvania
that the company is too fast for Wheel
ing and the Twins. But it wouldn't do
70 permit FRANKLIN TO win the pennanr
i'm q canter. ana besides, Wheeling has
some aspirations in that direction.
With apologies to John Godfrey SAKE,
the following lines are respectfully
dedicated to Manager Boyd:
Depend upon it, my sanguine friend,
The championship title you can de-
fend
Without good reason to apprehend.
You'll find i1 lost m the season end,
To Whealing's able defenders.
Try something better than pitcher
DUbbs
Or down you'll go before the clubs
And wind up as tail enders.

when the rain fell harder. and Mac"
