That Hateful seventh yesterday played
non with tho Wheeling team.
Double plays ~nbounded yestcrdny'llk
the leave that fall In autumn.
Delehanty on Monday cracked out, n
single, Il triple and two home runs, n
total OF u bases. Thu record has boon
eXccllcd only oncc this season, and that
by himself. On July IL he made four
home runs and n single. u total Of II
bases, which Is the record OF the leuguc.
Tho knocking policy" pursued by
wheeling Is not calculated to do any
good, still 1t will not disrupt the league.
The tactics pursued by Wheeling can
scarcely be understood. The only solu-
ton offered Is jealousy. Wheeling must
Ne on the top rung or there's fnult-find-
Ing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. correspond
cnce OF the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The
only thing that Wheeling Is 'klcklng'
these days Is base hits, und in.crspersed
among them are n few generous home
runs.
Here Is a dose that the Washington
Observer gives McNierncy: On nil sides
Tuesday evening the work OF Umpire
McNicrncy In the game with Toledo
was roundly denounced. The spectators
with perfect unnninIty, declare that the
nail, which McNlcrney called foul. pass
cd directly over first base, and as the
Initial bag Ia always placed with all
four corners inside the diamond, It could
not have been n foul ball. McNIerney
left on the evening train for Pittsburgh
Tuesday and II the Washington man
agcmen can prevent II he Will not return
here again this season. The game will
likely be protested.
That Tuesday Washlngton-Tolcdo
game Is commented on by the Washing
ton Observer as follows: There wac no
doubt that the ball went fair, and Nc
Nlerncy's bad Judgment Just cost Wash
inEton the Eume. Ferguson, who pitched
FOR Toledo, was bRtted hard at he start
OFT. I runs and as many hits were made
OF his pitching. After that he stcadIed
up and kept Washington from scoring
until the ninth. which babe fair 10 be
Il repetition of the first, when the UNI
pIre cut 1t short. RitZ's action IN taking
the men onthe field was criticised BY
some. II the hoys had played the game
out here was still a chance left OF WIN
ming.
Al the umpires in the Interstate
league are having a hard time of II,
says the Saginaw Courier Herald. They
nearly mobbcd McNIernGy in Toledo,
yet the papers say he was nil right.
keefc Is n OF the best OF the lot. yet
the crowd cursed him In Thursdays
game. After Thursdays gume two or
three OF the New Castle players gather
ed around him and made threatening
gestures. A police officer : who stood
near. asked him II he feared trouble.
II Keefe replied, turning contemptu-
ously toward the players, "If there Is
any trouble don't worry about ME.
I'm not afraid OF n player on the
team. I can 'look out for myself In
any gang Of ball plnyers." 1t Is this
spirit OF fenrlessness and decision that
makes keefe respected by the players.

II wns Il battle royal up to tho seventh
inning, when Wheeling went 10 pieces
on errors by iIArdesty md Whaling, al
lowing Toledo to score three runs, win
ming the game IN tho inning. Wagner
was out OF the game, llardcsty playing
third for Wheeling, Thuraton occupied
second and Whallcy resumed his old
place at short stop.
Mr.. Garvcy was OF tho rubber for
Wheeling and, up to the seventh inning
seemed to have the Toledo hItl6rs Mt hls
mercy, IN the seventh and eighth In
Mugs. however, Toledo landed on him
almost Mt Will. Carney appeared to be
indifferent In his work at times, and his
support was far from being good. It
was ono Of those OF days Wheeling
sometimes experiences.
Tho stnr play OF the game wns Robin
sons running catch OF Ccclrs long fly to
left, and the audience promptly rccog-
nizrd the feat.
"Kid" Keenan, was In the box FOR To-
lsdo and pitched a good game. Wheel
Ing hit him hard, but could not place the
ball In a safe place. 1t Is n hard matter
10 criticize the home team under the
circumstances, when there was n grand
change around In tho inflcld. Toledo hit
the bail harder; that Is the whole story.
Wheeling had a chance TO take n tig
lead In the early part OF the contest, hut
the hi, that was expected never mater

expect such a child to spring from a weak

weakness and particularly the weakness
that most strongly influences the health Of

A Sad Surprise.

Sunday morning at an early
hour Mr.. John Conn. of Henrietta.
accompanied by his wife and child
rem left Nocona to visit relatives in
Gainesville. Mrs. Conn had beeh
sick of slow fever for two or three
months past and was quite weak
when she left her home, but upon
the advice of her physician con-
eluded to make the trip bv private
conveyance. hoping thereby to re-
gain her health. They drove leis-
urely along and at about 2:3O this
morning upon reaching the city il
was discovered that Mrs. Conn was
sitting upright in the carriage stark
dead. Only two or three miles
west of the city she was conversing
with her husband, and imagine his
surprise when he realized by the
electric light that she was corpse.
The remains were taken To the
residence OF ]. F. Morris, whose
wife is a sister Of the deceased,
where they lay until 4:5O this
afternoon when they were shipped
to Henrietta for interment. Ply
sieians say that death was oeca-
stoned from heart trouble. The
deceased was well and favorably
known to many of the people Of
Cooke county. Her death was one
of the saddest that ever occurred
within the limits of Cooke county.
and our people with one accord
deeply sympathize with the bereav-
ed husband aud little orphan chill
