IN, playod a very poor fielding game on
saturday at Franklin aud that Conoyer,
thc teams prize twlrlsr, was away oil IN
the opening inning, the Wheoling'
should have won tho game, which, by
the way, was one Of the most enjoyable
10 witness that has been played in the
Iron and Oil League, Five hits aud
Jour errors were the combination that
made it possible for the Franklins to
srore those seven runs that at that time
scanned to c!inch their victory, But
Conoyer was like good Wino-he inn
moved with age, and rs the Innings fol-
lowed one another the FrSnklins' hits
bscams more and more scattered. On
,bo other hand, tho WheOling batters,
WHO could do nothing with McGlynn in
the first aud second innings, hit him
freely in every succeeding inning. In
the eighth McDougall, late oil the East
arm league, who 80 BADLY fooled Wheel
ing on Friday, was substituted, but il
was IN that inning that Ours forged
ahead for the lirs timo in tho game. A
very lucky combination Of circum-
stances, however, allowed Mac to win
gu. his own game.
That disaitrous first inning would
have taken all the backbone out oil an
ordinary team, but Wheeling was still

Glynn's hot grounder to Crotty was as

play was generously applauded, Stuart
lit for two bases, but TorreySon sent an
ugly grounder TO Ball, which was handled
