Standing OF Clubs

Wheeling outplayed Fort Wayne at
every point IN TWO very dull and tire
some games at Coxey park yesterday
afternoon. 1t broke George Tebeau's
heart. "Cy" swain, the double-jointed
twirler from Scio, essayed TO pitch the
Farmers to victory, but be was doubled
up in knot in the fourth inning, and
his feet didn't connect with terra firma
again in the game. Tebeau was pranc-
ing about like a restless horse, and
heaving huge signs in the vicinity Of first
bass. In the sixth, the situation BOT so
muddled, through mispiays by the
Farmers, that Tebeau sent Swain over
to warm the bench and went into the
5cx himself
The binchers hOwled with delight
Visions of home runs and fat batting
averages appeared TO every spectator,
but Tebeau fastened rabbit foot TO the
sphere and shut the home club out for
three innings. He found no trouble in
locating the pilye and he had curve
which was visible TO the naked eye, but
his slow ones fooled the batterS, who had
been up against speed in the first part
of the game.
Swell up, George came in chorus
from the bleachers each tine Wheeling
was retired without a run. Tebeau was
asked 10 puff up his chest, etc, and he
stood it for awhile, but finally retorted:
III isn't how good l am, but how poor
they are"
This was a very modest way of put
ting IL, but T5beau probably was swollen
UP little over his success. Al any rate,
he went on the rubber in the second
game, and mis- head was so large that his
cap dropped off when he pitched the first
ball. Wheeling started in to put him
out of the business, earning two runs in
the first inning. Tebeau worked all
kinds OF schemes-he is man Of infinite
resources-and succeeded in preventing
the home club from scoring until the
seventh Then Wheeling got onto his
INCOMES" in a way that made him very,
very tired. and ne called ICY cut again.
TIE games were devoid of interesting
features. BY winning both, Wheeling
passed Fort Wayne, and steps into the
frs. division. The first game was
marked by very loose fielding by Fort
WAYNE. and the Farmers should have
baen shut out. "TOlly' Kane was on
the rubber for Wheeling and held the
Wis tors down to five hits, OF which three
were scratches. The solitary run was
