Yesterdays game with Mansfield was
a cake walk for Wheeling. The visit
ors were not in it at any stage of the
game. The home players touched up
Wilhelm almost at will, and when the
felders got the ball, the Wheeling
players had an even chance of getting
to first in safety. The boys all fatten-
ed their batting averages, and felded
well. Princes errors at short were
excusable, and he redeemed himself
by his good throwing and excellent
stick work. Anderson went into the
box for Wheeling and puzzled the Wis
itors by his curves. He managed to
keep the hits we'll scattered, and not
one Of the four runs credited to Mans
field was earned. All the pitchers
were wild. Eighteen bases on balls
were given during the game, and one
man was hit by pitched ball.
The visitors need nothing so badly
as good head work They fell to pieces
at times and played miserably. All
the errors made were of the rankest
kind including three NUTS OF easy
flies. Jack" Dunn and Billy" Otter
son, two old Wheeling players, held
downt bird and short respectively for
the visitors, and both played fairly
good ball.
The weather was cold, and the few
hundred persons who witnessed the
game were too busily engaged in try
ing to keep warm to indulge in much
cheering.
The fun started in the first inning,
when Wheeling tailed twice on base
on balls, a double by Crotty and a sin
gle by Davis. Two more runs were
added in the second on a base on balls,
and hits by Keefe, Anderson and Da-
Wis. Kerr and Keefe hit safely in the
the third, and the score was increased
to five In the fifth, with one man out,
two men on bases, Anderson knocked
out two-bagger. bringing in one run,

second hit in the inning, bringing
Regan home. Kane hit to center, and
Donovan retired the side by flying out.
Wakefield went into the box in the
eighth, and kept the home players
down to two hits. which, with the
stupid fielding Of the visitors, added
four more runs TO the score.
The visitors tailed for the first time
in the third. Otterson went to first on
four bad balls, took second on an error
by Prince, and scored on a long drive
to left by Dunn. Three more runs
were made in the fifth. Conley led of
