The Nallers got a hRlf-Nelson hold on
the proud leaders yesterday afternoon,
with Beck, Myers and the other much
touted National League coming stars
IN the bunch, and threw them with
consummate ease, although the exhibit
ton was delayed until the eighth and
ninth innings. OF course the locals
could have forged ahead in the earlier
innings, hut 1t made such refreshing
finish and gave the proud leaders a
more terrific shock by winning out In
the eighth and ninth.
ToleGo's team Is made up OF some
good ball players, and not least among
them is George Darby, who pitched in
Yesterdays game. II he had received
the support that was accorded Camp
bell by the Nailers. the result might
have been different. AS II was, he had
pitched much the better game until the
eighth and ninth, when the locals gave
the eX-Quaker what was to him palm
ful exhibition OF hard hitting and spien-
did base running. In fact all OF the
Toledo players were surprised, for on
every other occasion of meeting the
Wheelings, the local team has been
beaten before the first ball was pitched.
Now it's SO altogether different that
their surprise Is perhaps eXcusabfe.
The double Injection OF "Torreyson's
Extract" has had an effect upon the
team about In line OF Wnat Ponce de
Leon was chasing In the swamps back
10 st. Augustine four or five centuries
ago. II old Ponce could only come to
life for & day or two and come across
TO Wheeling, no doubt the Messrs. Tor
rCysOn could fix him up at trliling eX-
pense and without the dangers that he
encountered in his famous search for
Eternal Youth.
1t was a game that deserved n larger
crowd. for the locals played all around
the visitors both at the bat and in the
field. Though Toledo got terrific lead
in the third inning. the Nallers kept
pegging away, once nearly wrestling the
lead in the fourth and then falling two
10 the rear In the fifth. Then came the
eighth, when the two runs that tied
Toledo were scored, and in the ninth
the crowd was wildly enthusiastic when
the boys scored three runs on good hard
hitting, the three runs being earned,
while In their half the leaders were re-
tired in one-two-three order. Such
game ought to induce the presence of
a record breaking crowd this afternoon.
Toledo began ungettlng in the open
ing inning, Hartman led off with
single. Gllks was an out but Beck
singled, sending Hartman to third, and
he scored second later on Myers SIN
BILE LaRgsford sent grass-cutter TO
Bradley, who assisted to Taylor for
Myers out and "Blll" by very fast work
got the ball over to first before the n.y.
ing Langsford had reached Captain
Torreyson's wool-sack.
The locals tied the score In the second
inning. Miller walked on four wide
ores but was forced on Donahue's in
field hit. and the latter was in turn
forced on Shay's bourder to Melon
ouEh. Messett singled to right. Hart
man was playing in close to first base.
In his eagerness to throw out Messett
on his clean hit he fired the ball into the
hleachers and Shay came in with the
run.
In the third Toledo did business with
the Sistersviiie boy for keeps, and be-
fore the inning was completed there
were cries for Lucas. Hartman started
the fun with three-bagger and Gilks
and Beck were furnished passes coun-
tersigned In regular order by William
Campbell, general manager OF the Base
on Balls route, which were honored
without question by Captain Torreyson,
who presided so gracefully at Station
No. l. With the bases full, Myers sent
a foul fly to DOnahue that was accept

caught, but Hartman scored and Gllks
reached third on the play. Then
Langstord singled. McDonough worked
base on balls, and Smith, Arthur and
Darby singled, the result OF all this
funny business being i've runs for To-

The Nallers got In the game again In
the fourth inning. on Langsford's err
ror. Torreyson was safe at first and Mil
ler's sacrifice advanced him to second.
on Donahue's two-bagger over right
field fence f'orreyson scored. Shay
walked, and both Donahue and Shay
pilfered bases while Lucas was en-
gagged in striking out. With two out,
Campbell hit for two bases and Dom
ahue and Shay scored Bradley got
free transportation to first base, and on
Vetters two-base hit Campbell scored
the fourth run OF the inning. With
two on bases, Taylor was unable to
conc up to expectations, the best he
could do being fly to Commodore Me-
Donough, who captured 1t in true
Champaign style.
In the arm the visitors Increased
their lead OF one run by another. Smith
singled. stole second and scored on Dom
nhucs error, The next three batsmen
were outs.
After the third inning Campbell kept
the hits well scattered and Toledo was
al a 8taHdgtIll, but as the locals were
doing little or nothing with Darby the
outlook was unpromising, until the
eighth. when the boys got In the game
IN fine style and tied the score, Shay
began the good work with n base hit
to right field. Lucas was an out to
Gllks, but Campbell got base on balls
and Bradley followed suit. Vctters
