There were two very different styles oil
pitching in Yesterdays game. Borchers
allowed thirteen men to walk to hrst
base, but when he got the ball over the
plate rs curves and speed were so mix
ed I'D that as a rule the visitors did not
get the ball outside of the infield. Irwin
Brodie- gave an exhibition of the other
sort of twirling. He did not pass a
single batter TO the initial bag, ana ne
was hit hard throughout the game,
Brcdies pitching YVES the most erect
i've. He was steady at critical times, and
kept the hits we'll scattered. The game
should have been won by Youngstown
without having 10 play the extra Inn
ings, and that would have been the re-
suit had Brodie been given the proper
support AS it was, it was won i'll the
twelfth. Donovan had two strikes ana
one ball called on him, but the big Call
fornian threw the next three wild, send
ing him to first Berry then made
clean h:~Sover third base advancing
Donovan 10 second. Brodie hunted SLOW
" between first and second. Borchers
started after the ball, but Brodie beat 1t
10 first. The bags we're full with no men
out. and the spectators started 10 leaVe.
Cooper who had previously drawn three
bases on balls, next faced the piicaer.
Borchers gave him an out-shoot which
he sent to the right field fence, and Don
Ovan crossed the plate with the winning
run.
There were several new faces on the
YOUNGSTOWN team, and it was consider
ably stronger than when here BEFORE.
Pete Somers, who played in left garden
for Wheeling last season, put up splen-
did game. Schieble went in TO bat for
Harkins in an effort 10 win out III the
ninth, but he failed to connect. ScnieDle
is now captain and manager OF the team.
He is a Youngstown boy, but has been
playing in the Eastern league. His re-
lease was bought by the Youngstown
management. Schieble will be remem-
bered as one of Springtields pitchers,
when that city was in the CID Tr State
league, and his presence in the city will
recall the capsizing of a yacht in 1890,
in which Architect Ed. Wells lost his
life. Mr.. W. T. English, who was then
official scorer, was returning from the
ball game, and was one OF the persons
who were thrown into the river. Schiebie
saw the accident from the Stamm House.
where he was sitting in chair. He rush
ed down the bank and managed 10 save
the life of Mr.. English.
Schieble will not pitch any of the
games here, but will save himself for the
opening of the second season in Youngs-
Iown. Under his management the team
may be expected TO take higher place
in the second season. The Youngstown
players acted very gentlemanly on the
field. and the contrast with the rowdy-
ism of Washington and New Castle was
refreshing. There was crowd of about
nine hundred present yesterday, and
they rooted" hard for Wheeling. The
home club was compelled to play an up
hill game from the start. Youngstown
scored in the first on a base ON balls, a
wild pitch, and a single by Somers.
Whaling scored in the second on his
single. a steal a passed bail and a single
by Babb.
IN the third the visitors took big
lead Cooper was again sent to first
on balls, Somsrs made scratch in
field hit, both were advanced On Borch-
cr's error. AM Steen cleared the bases
by putting the ball over the left field
fence Winters then got a life on a
tumble by Babb. went to second on a
wild pitch, stole third and came in on Q
bad throw by Shaw. Donovan made a
home run in the sixth. and the YOungs-
town score was increased to seven when
Berry tailed in the eighth by a success
sion OF bad plays.
Wheeling earned two runs in the
fifth on Babbs single and Borchers's
home run drive over left field fence.
Gallagher made another in the sixth on
an error by Hawkins, hit by Whaley
and an error by Winters Rickert tai
lied in the seventh on his hit and steal
and Gallagher's two-bagger to left
field
The home club needed two runs to
tie at the beginning of the ninth. Vio-
let started by flying out to Cooper.
Then Shields made a clean single over
second base, and Rickert hit TO Hoff-
meiSter, who made'a beautiful muff.
Gallagher sent the ball out 10 center
garden for safe hit and Shields scored.
Sleen threw TO catch Rickert at thru.
tut the bali went wild and bOth Rickert
and Gallagher crossed the pla-e, giving
the home club a lead of one run. In
their half of the ninth. Youngstown
tied the score through the wildness of
B0rchers. Winters took first on four
| bad balls HOffmeister famed. The
Youngstown players hell a consulta-
ton on the bench, and Sheible went to
bat in place Of HarkinS. but went out on
an easy fly to Gallagher. Donavin then
walked, advancing Winters 10 second,
and Winters crossed the plate on a sin
gle TO left field by Berry. Wheeling
was BANKED in the next three innings
and the visitors scored the winning run
in the twelfth, as stated above. The
