A SLICK GAM E.
How a Confidence Man Worked a
Market Street Business Nan on a
New Scheme.

Yesterday a nervy and very slick
game was worked upon an unsuspect-
ing Market street business man. A
stranger, who gave his name as Davis,
walked into Edward Wheeler's grocery,
streets, and ordered $3.50 worth Of
groceries, to be sent to No. S11 Market
street. He also requested that change
for ten dollars be brought by the boy
when he went to deliver the goods.
The boy drove up to the number given,
which is prominent residence, and
at the same moment the customer
emerged from a side entrance to get
the goods. He got the basket of gro
ceries and asked for the $3.50 change,
assuring the boy that he would bring
the ten-dollar bill back to him and
that he would carry the groceries into
the house himself, as his wife was
sick and he wanted to have no noise
made.
The boy remained in the wagon and
the man went through a side gate into
the yard. The boy sat in the wagon
and waited, but the customer did not
show up with the promised ten-dollar
bill. He waited for half an hour and
then proceeded to make an inquiry at
the house for the man. AS he went
inside the gate he found the basket of
goods there. A domestic informed the
boy that a man had come into the
gate, left the goods there, and had gone
through the yard and climbed over the
fence and disappeared Thus the gro
Gerry man referred to is now minus
$3.50.

Mr. Mahon. of Detroit, favored the

further: Il am tired of this thing Of

Speeches were finally limited to ten

Theconference finished its work
this evening. The meeting was pro-
ductive of several sensational speeches
and many resolutions, yet no decisive
action was taken in the principal mat
ter for which the gathering was sum
moned-the adjustment of government
by injunction. The convention which
had been announced as the last one of
its kind to be held, while adjourning

,TANDING OF Clubs.

1t was different yesterday. Toledo
braced up and Wheeling gave the ex-
hibition of how to play the game Two
figures are required to express the
number Of costly misplays on the local
side, and the error column tells the
story OF the second defeat in a nut
shell.
Jimmy Lucas was in the bcx for
wheeling. and if he had received any
thing like the support which was given
Garvey in the first game, he would
have another victory to his credit. The
only redeeming features in the fielding
OF the local players, were a catch of a
fly ball against the fence by Miller,
and hair raising stop with one hand
and a throw to first by Taylor. This
play by Little Billee prevented at least
two runs from coming in, and won for
him liberal applause from the bleach
erS..
There was good sized crowd pres
ent, and the never-say-die spirit which
now marks the playing Of the home
team was communicated to them They
held on to a hope with pertinacity
worthy OF better cause, even in the
last inning, when eight runs were re-
CURED TO tie the score. 1t was a
large crowd, but goodly proportion
were ladies.
Keenan's work in the box was infer
ior to that OF Lucas. He was touched
up safely fourteen times, and he
passed eight men to first on balls. But
keenan, never loses his nerve, and he
pitched effectively when men were on
bases, with the result that Wheeling
lost several opportunities to score
when hits would have meant runs He
held Wheeling down to one hit until
the fifth inning, but after that he was
easy and in the ninth the first four men
to face him hit safely Torreyson, Mil
Ter and Donohue were on the bags, and
Shay cracked out double which
brought three of them across the plate.
Campbell famed and Lucas went out
at first. Bradley's double over the
fence scored Lucas, but Vetters was re-
tired on an easy chance, Beck to My
ers.
In the first inning an error by Tor
TeySOn gave GiikS d HE, ana SeCUHu
base, and he scored on Myers single to
center In the next inning three I'M
earned runs were made on base on
balls, two singles, and four errors. To-
ledo did not earn run until the sew
enth, when Langsford made two bag
ger and scored on Smiths home run
drive.
Bradley's work was a feature of the
game In the field he accepted nine
out of ten chances, and at the bat he
got first on balls three times, and made
two doubles and single out of three
times at bat Bradley is good waiter
and ordinarily a good run getter, but
Yesterday he was retired at the plate
twice. The score:
