They were nearer the camp than
they suspected. As they blundercd
on among the cracking undcrbrush and
dry twigs, the sharp report of a rifle
echoed through the forest, and n bullet
whistled above their heads.

SECOND GAME.

Wheeling again played almost fault
lessly in the field, and bu, for hit by
Tebeau, which dropped JUS, outside tie
left field fence, Fcrt Wayne would have
been shut out. with The exception of
the third inning. when the visitors
scored, they did not connect W'th the
home plate in any inning In the
third two hits were made, and but three
more were made n the other eight in
ninx.
After Huff had struck out. Babb sim
gled, Carr,ck walked 20 first. Fisher
went out, and Tcbeau knocked q home
run.
Wheeling batJed out a victory in the
first three innings aided by tho yellow
fielding of the visitors After that Car
rick settled down. holding Wheeling
down to one hit and no runs in six IN
nings. The game was started out with
three beautiful drives. each for two
bases, by Violet, Wagner and Robin
son. In the next inning, the Farmers
played like a lot Of teu-year-olds.
Lucky Violet got q base on balls. and
stole second, going to third on Wagner's
sacrifice. Robinson hit a slow one IN
the in-field, which he beat 20 first, and
went to second on a passed bail Shaw
walked. Whaling was hit by a pitched
ball. Thurston go, a life on an error
by Carrick. Hariesty singled. Total,
four runs.
Four more were made in the next in
ming. Campbell scratched a single,
was forced to second on lucky V.olet's
base on balls, and boJh We're advanced
on Wagner's sacrifice, scoring on Rob
inson's single. Shaw singled and he
and Robinson made a double steal.
Whaling hit TO Carr.ck, and Shaw start
ed home. Carr.ck sent the ball to HUFF,
but he muffed IL and Shaw was safe.
Thurston flew ont, and Robinson scored
on Hardesty's single.

Standing of Clubs

For four hours ind th;rty-five min
utes the Fort Wayne Farmers bucked
against a sure thing. II was like play
ing a slot machine for that length of
time. The chances for winning were
about equal in both cases. 1t was a
great deal of baseball for a quarter. If
any fan" wasn't satisfied, he must have
been a ver.table glu,ton. There were
over a thousand spectators, and they
made things lively by Their roofing
and their running fire Of reparJee with
the Fort Wayne players. But there are
no more impartial crowds anywhere
than attend the Wheeling games.
George Tebeau had earned the dislike
of the bleachers by his frequent kicks
against the decisions OF Haller, and
they "guyed" him good naturedly ev-
cry time he went TO bat; yet when he
put the ball over the left field fence
for home run, the applause which he
received was even greater than that
accorded to Wagner, when ne did the
same thing in The first game. "Reddy"
Gray got an ovation when he made a
phenomenal running catch OF Wagner's
fly with one hand.
The Wheeling fans" like to see bail
Paying. and are quick 10 show their
appreciation CT good work.
Wheeling won both games by cut
playing the visitors, just as they did
Saturday afteroo Clean, sharp
fielding, hard hitting, and daring base
running put the victory on the side
OF the home club. Huff's throwing to
second was a decided Improvement over
Saturday, and he caught a number Of
Wheeling runners, but all the stolen
bases il the two games are credited to
the home Players.
The first game was very exciting at
the finish. Fort Wayne went to bat in
the ninth inning with a lead Of two runs
to overcome. Lynch hit to Hardesty
who fumbled, making the only error in
the game on Whesing's side. Babb
went to bat in place Of Powell and
walked to first. Fisher sacrificed. ad-
vancing both men, and Lynch was put
out at the plate on Tebeaus hit to Har-
desty. Creger sent the ball over the
fence for his third two base hit, and
Babb scored. With men on second and
third. "Reddy" Grey faced Baker. It
was a decidedly ticklish situation, and
Bakers GOODNESS and excellent judg-
ment won the game for the home club
Baker decided 20 take a chance on
Rickert. and sent Gray to first on balls
r exert knocked a fly to Robinson,
which was neatly gathered in, retiring
the side.
The visitors played a good uphill
game, with the score 6 to against
them in the fourth. Wheeling made
three in the third On Bakers single,
Wagner's base on balls, a double by
Robinson, and a single by Whaling.
Three more were added in the next in
ming, on singles by Hardesty and Gal
lagher, a double by Baker, and a four
Dagger by Wagner. What proved TO
be the winning run was made in the
ninth on V,Olet's base on balls, his steal
of second a sacrifice by Wagner, and
Robinson's single.
Fort Wayne scored two in the first
on hard hits; one in the fourth on sin
giles by Gray and Rlckert, and a sac
rifice; enc in the sixth on a double by
Kane, and a single by Hun; and one IN
the seventh, on a single by Babb, and a
dOuble hV Creger The score.

The campaign for free silver was
opened in Ohio county last night, with
an enthusiastic meeting in the Sixth
ward, which was attended by fully
three thousand persons. Notwith-
standing it was arranged on very short
notice, and the evening was chilly, two
thirds of the crowd remained until the
meeting closed, which was nearly eiev-
en- o'clock. The careful attention
which was paid to the remarks of the
speakers attested the earnestness with
which the people are studying the mon
ey question; and the frequent outbursts
of applause were evidence o. the fact
that the free silver sentiment is general
and is growing.
The meeting was called 20 order
about eight o'clock. Previous to that
time, Mayors brass band played a num-
Der o. selections, and the crowd assem-
bled rapidly. 1t occupied all the avail
able space in the vacant ground on all
sides Of the Big Democratic pole, and
extended out to Chapline street. The
stand was decorated with bunting, and
adorned with large portraits of Bryan
and Sewail.
The meeting was called to order by
