big nine who represent Cincinnati in
tho National League whom tho two
teams met yesterday afternoon, was un-
thought Of bv the most enthusiastic
admircr Of "Billy" Whites boys. But
this is what happened. and but for m
inadvisablo change OF pitchers in tho
eighth, 1t is no suro thing that Cincin.

derson and Smith had douo good work
for tho homo team. doing fully NJ well
as Rhinos and Phillips tor tho Reds.
Tho game was nip and tuck through

much better than was expected. Kerr.

the game, making a hit every time no

in that inning didn't cost anything.
Latham, the visitors third baseman,
the clown OF the league. was OF course
in his element. aud gave the crowd as
good as they sent at him in their little
war OF words.
The attendance was much larger than
had been expected. The number of paid
admissions was l,2S5 and it is probable
that fully fifteen hundred people wit
messed the game. These are big figures
for Wheeling and show that the pre-
diction made n month ago that tho old
time base bail interest had been re-
awakened in Wheeling was not at fault.
It is probable that the figures OF attend

morrow afternoon at the kenton-
Wheeling game.
The first inning opened promisingly
for Wheeling. Crotty going to first on
an easy chance offered Smith which he
