Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1896-07-09


The team which New Castle put on
the field to play Wheeling yesterday,
was the worst lot Of kickers that ever
came down the pike.
Even Broneho Jack, in all his glory.
was no, arrayed as one of these. In
the language Of the orchard, that man
CANCEL is a peach His pedal eX-
tremlties, and his capacious vocal or
gan, were the features Of the game.
Farmer" Brown lent some very able
assistance. This pair were very, very
tiresome. Tiresome hardly express
it. They were disgusting. They say
Tebeau and kid" Keenan, are kickers,
but those two worthless are outclassed.
WASHINGTON as "a team was bad, but
!, n rs Sar,sF-si2S.nNe,y worse.
AleXanaer PROBABLY realizes by this
time that the pathway NJ The Interstate
umpire is not strewn with rOs 5. When
an umpire is made 10 stand such abuse
as he received yesterday it is not diff
cult 20 find a reason for the many reS-
y ignatiCns from the stan. IL was a game
ara which there wer5 many close decis-
iOnS. but the visitors were treated fair
". Il was one continuous kick from
the first inning, but there Mere four
principal kicks before the game was
finally forfeited TO the home club. The
first was made when Alexander, who
had become slightly ratled by the ruiz
fianly tactics of the New Castle play
ers, was unable TO SAG whether q bat
ter had one or two strikes cal.sd upon
him. That was a mistake for AleNan-
der.
The next was in the third inning,
when Shields wG,s declared safe al the
plate. The decision was fair; the kick
was silly and babyish.
The next was in the visitors half of
the fourth Al. Wagner threw 20 Shaw
TO retire g. Camel at the p.aJe. Camel
was caugh, al least five feet from the
plate, but deliberately knocked tL5 ball
out of the caJcher's hands. Alexander
very properly declared the runner out.
The fourth kick was made In the
sixth. Donovan was on first and tried
to steal second Shaw threw TO Wag-
ner. and the runner was retired. This
was the only one of the close decisions
in which there was one person In the
crowd Of spectators who thought New
Castle had received the worst of it. and
Fnose VINO considered the decision fair
outnumbered the others ten TO one.
Camel gave childish exhibition
here. He was so persistent and so
abusive in his language that Alexander
