The very warmest exhibition Of the
national game witnessed in this ylcln-
ity for many day, was the contest at
the Island park yesterday afternoon be-
tween Willy Willie Windsors weary
warriors and Monte" Montgomery
merry montebanks, representing re-
spectvely James T. MCGEE and Bern
ard Stanley Divisions of the q. r. K.
of P. 1t was a splendid exhibition or
how not to play the game. They were
all-star aggregations which lined up
against each other, and their collection
CT job lot uniforms would have enrich
ed some base ball museum. They were
insists for the most part and there was
striking collection Of hosiery which
could not be duplicated, perhaps, out
side of an Oriental harem.
The distinguishing feature of the
contest was the mastication Of the
sock, which started few days previ-
Gus TO the contest, and will probably
continue until several sets of teeth are
ruined. 1t was one long growl from
$3.50 to 6 o'clock, and once or twice
there were threatened outbreaks Of ac-
tual hostllities. Bobby" McNichol
filled thankless position. He was the
kickee, and the eighteen players were
kickers Bobby" had his hands full,
but he was once a target for something
less than a thousand beer mugs at a
Sunday game in Cincinnati, when he
was on the National League staff. He
came out of that battle unscatched, and
it is said that he is the only man IN
Wheeling who would consent to tackle
the job yesterday Bobby was lit
tie rusty on the rules and his optics
were slightly dimmed, but he played
his position well.
The 'rooters" made up in noise what
they lacked in numbers, and altogether
there was a very lively time among
the Indians and bleacherites. The first
grand kick came in the second inning.
when the Warriors landed on Mont
gomery's curves, and "Monte's" feet
were dangling in the air They sub
stituted Dick, and there was a howl
which might have been heard in How
leytown. And thereby hangs tale.
1t seems chat the Shanleys were very
much frightened by the boasts Of the
McGees, and decided to try a little
strategy. In hunting about for an
available pitcher, they hit upon Dick.
an old Shamrock player, who was a
member of the Knights of Pythias.
They induced him to join the Uniform
Rank, and he was duly initiated some
time between Sunday and Monday. The
McGees kicked and the matter was duly
compromised by allowing him to play
in the infield. When Dick stepped into
the box in the second there was a verit-
able Babel of tongues, and the upshot
was the McGees refused to continue the
game. Monte then stepped on the
rubber again.
The stellar celebrities were eighteen
in number. Loeffler, the boy wonder,
did the twirling for the McGees. II a
cyclometer had been attached to Wind
sor's pedal eXtremeties, it would no
doubt have registered five miles in his
chase after the wide ones that sailed
over the plate. Willy Bill was chuck
full of ginger, and it was not until the
fifth inning that the merry clip began
to tell on him. 1t was too much for his
averdupois. In the sixth he was grog-
gy, and another inning would have
made the services of a physician neces-
sary.
Richardson showed how they used to
do it back in the COS, and he and
Stoetzer cut down the sprinting record
in the ice wagon class. Wolf broke in
to the game in the third, and first time
he handled the ball, executed his great
speciality - Count 237 before you
throw" Graham and Schul paved rhe
outfield with mail sacks. Stellhase
had hole in his stick, and discarded
his bat for a water board, with which
he did wonderful execution. Marshall
was injured in a slide to the home place
The Shanleys had a stone wall infcld
that won the game for them. KinGle-
berger did some marvellous stick work
but played in hard luck. ii ne bad sue
ceeded in landing on the ball, it might
have broken a window N Aernaville
The center fielder, Schuch-d the flies
to left, and Stanley muffed them. A
hit to the outfield was always good for
several bags, unleas Richardson hap
pened to make the hit
