The home team has had TWO off days,
and may not have another for month.
Feel sore? OF course you do, and you
have q righ, 10, but withhold your judg-
ment about the home club for another
week. and it's dollars TO doughnuts
you'll say next Saturday night that
this city has a team of world beaters.

home club, buy few boxes Of ginger.

old drug store kesps it. If they happen

get a few punches from the big jar on
the top shelf. Present it to Capt. WaS-

all the money YOU have, and all YOU can
beg, borrow or steal, that Wheeling will
win Mondays game from Fort Wayne.
Ginger is the only thing that's lack
ing in the work of the home team. They
play like they are trying to earn rep
u,ation for gentlemanly conduct. It's
no use. Everybody in Wheeling knows
they are all gentlemen, but they will be
roasted away from home just the same.
1t must require a great stretch Of the i'm
agination to call the Wheeling team row.
dyish ball players. The fact Of the mat
ter is. they play altogether with signs.
When a man is running bases he has
to watch the ball, and at the same time
keep his eye on the fingers of the men
on the lines. The coaohers seldom
make more noise than that produced by
clapping their hands. After they have
been given several injections OF ginger,
each player should suck lemon before
Mondays game, then file off the rusty
edges of his voice, and whocperup 10
beat the band.
When this is done Wheeling will win
a majority of the games played. 1t

The umpire may win occasionally, but
Wheeling doesn't want games at that
price What's wanted is few songs
from the coacher's box, and a cheering
word occasionally in the field.

club had found the ball with any degree
of success. the result might have been
different. There was no, any brilliant
work in the field on either side. The
home PLAYERS seemed to lose heart after
that fatal fifth inning. The time was
when i; could DO said that Wheeling was
never defeated until the last man was
retired in the ninth. but the club does
