There was much curiosity q sto what
The untried Wheeling team could do
against a club that has established such
.-.n.t fAt- ttSn1f en- ia 80 IN nd .<ynrty
f.y thought a victory possible. The
Wheeling boys showed up much
stronger than their warr1est friends
had hoped for, winning the game In the
trst Inning by strong and timely hit
ting, and by q balk on the part OF
Pitcher Lyons. As the game progress
ID. the crowd began 10 realize that
,bey had n first class team to represent
me city, and they howled themselves
hoarse over the sharp and snappy play
Of the locals, and the excellent head
work shown at critical points. some
thing local teams In recent years have
been sadly deficient In.
Morris pitched a very fine game In
deed. showing excellent judgment and
control at critical stages OF the game,
and holding the heavy hltters from Can
ion down to three measley singles, one
OF them being very questionable. The
work OF Eggert at second was remark
able. a left handed stop Of a wild throw
IN the eighth inning and u phenomenal
catch after q hard run, which resulted
In a double play and ended the game,
In the ninth. being Of the Embarrassing
order. His batting was also-a feature,
he having three of the nine hits to the
credit Of his side. The rest OF the team
are a sturdy lot Of young men, and will
make a very strong bid for the Ohio
league pennant, IL they keep up their
fine work Of yesterday. The people Of
,.hee:!ng are always generous in their.
supnor, OF n good club and oil indica-
tons rolnt to the fact that Messrs.
Starr. BUGGY and Prichard have gotten
together a first class lot OF players, who
can hold their own In any minor league.
The grounds. when they have been
played OH a few times will be a great
Improvement on the diamonds of the
last two years. There Is plenty Of
room, ard the field is. almost as level as
a billiard table. The grand stand will
he corr!eted IN a day or two. and It
Wi. be so arranged that the sun will
rot interfere with the comfort OF the
SPECTATORS. There should be q large at
;~trt,lrce at to.day's game, and there
dnuS;less wEI be. as a res1iIttof the very
fae contes; Yesterday.
Morris struck out two OF the first
three opposing batters, Drumm getting
his h,sa nm M arror hr sbor,
After PHchard and Koran had gone
OF; on easy lrle,l hits. Wheeling began
to set the pace in a lively fashion,.
Eegert cracked out a siashing single. u
balk advanced him a base, and he was
brought home by a fine two-bagger BY
Davis, who came IN himself a second
latsr on Breneff's single. Wilson flied
out 10 left field.
Canton was disposed Of in one-two-
three order in - second. while Wheel
Ing added another run, Minton walked,
ard was advanced TO third on a hit by
Morris ua scored an a Iorg ay 10 rigbt

The best Canton could do In the third
was a c!ea nsincIe by Middleton, but
he got no further. .he other three men
being easy marks for Morris.
For Wheeling. Eegert hit q long fly to
left, Davis was ont from oitcher 10 first.
