Though Springfield outfielded the
wheellngs yesterday afternoon, the Gov
ernors were not in the game at any stage
simply because the Nailers had on their
batting clothes and nothing could stop
them in their mad career. With Robin
son at the top OF the heap, the other Nall
ers followed in battle array, all OF them
with the exception of DIESEL getting one
or more hits. The only man on the
Springfield lineup who could do bust
ness with Campbell effectively was Hoff-
melster, who succeeded In getting four
safe hits. though only two OF them were
clean drives.
RobInsons batting performance Is the
record Of the season, ecllpslng McCree-
RVS. The Louisville man got three
homers In recent game. Robinson
Jumped onto Poole and Coggswell yes
terday to the extent OF three homers and
n single, n total Of thirteen bases. Dele
hanty's four homers is the only perform
ance that bests Roblnson's,
Poole. the GAINESVILLE recruit, faced the
Nailers at the start, but he met with q
very warm reception and retired at the
beginning OF the third. after Bullock had
led off with n single. In the first he was
hit for two singles, In the second for six
safe drives and then came Bulluck's sin
gle, after which Whistler concluded to
take him out and substituted Coggswell.
Coggswell, too, was easy for the Nailers,
who didn't quit in the third until five
runs had been scored.
Campbell pltchedIa better game than
the score shows. The boy pitched ele-
giant ball, being especially effective with
men on bases. Although eleven hits are
chalked up against him. several of these
came after chances were offered to retire
the side.
O'Brlen at first and Bradley at second
were away off in their fielding, capturing
all OF the Wheeling errors. Springfield
put up a fine fielding game, having but
one misplay, catch In short right field
being halr-ralser. In the eighth In
ming, Robinson cracked out one that
looked good for q homer over center field
fence, but It was a little low and Ashen-
beck backed up against the fence and
caught II. The force OF the ball sent the
fielder against the fence with such force
| that he was dazed, but stayed In the
game.
In the first inning, Lyle led off with
scratch single with O'Brlen out, Lyle
attempted a steal, but was out easily
Robinson elnglcd but Brady made a fine
capture Of Bradley's fly to short right
Springfield went down in order.
Wheeling got in the game In the second
inning. With Campbell and Bullock out,
DIESEL wns hit by a pitched ball after
Rupert had muffed foul. Then came
singles by Coyle. Relsllng, Lyltle and
O'Brlen, followed by Robinson's homer,
clearing the bases. With six runs scored,
Bradley hit for two bases, but Campbell
retired the side. Not one Of the runs was
earned, though brought In by clean hit
| ting, because n chance to retire the side
had been offered Rupert and declined,
A double play spoiled Sprlngncld's
| chances In their half, but Wheeling got
in the game again In great shape. Bull
lick led of with n Gingle. At this point.
