STANDING OF CLUBS

The Massilon Turks almost won
victory yesterday to which they were
not entitled. 1t was snappy, stuo-
bornly fought game, and 1t was not
until the last half Of the thirteenth
inning that Harry Pritchard tro'teu
across the plate with the winning run.
For a local club to come out vlctori-
Gus in extra inning games, is decided
novelty to the Wheeling fans, and 1t
incidentally attests the gameness OF the
nresent team. Such exhibitions as
have been furnished at the Island park
merit the patronage Of lovers OF the
sport, and will receive it.
The Turkish costume of the visitors
is unique. not to say attractive. The
red trousers, which In most instances
are insists, recall pictures of the OIL
entail harems But the Massillon boys
understand the great American game,
and they deserve credit for their con-
test yesterday.
with perfect fielding the Turks
would have been shut out without
run. and with two scratch infield hits.
Morris was in superb form. He'had
splendid control of the sphere, ana
he mixed up drops, and inshoots and
outshoots, and speedy ones, and slow
ones. in a manner which made mon
keys of the visiting batsmen Eleven
of them perforated the atmosphere
with their bats, and but five men
reached first on safe hits. After the
Turks tied the score, they got but one
more hit, and it was the rSnkest kind
of a scratch. 1t was in the eighth in
ming. Two men had been retired, and
Mont Morinzo Corrven swung vicious
ly at one inshoot The ball dropped
In front of the plate, and rolled to-
ward the foul line. Morris stood wait
ing for it to roll on foul ground, but it
struck little up grade, and rested on
the whitewash line. This was fair
sample of the hits made by the visi-
tors.
The only clean hits made by the Sui
tan's representatives were in the sec
ond inning Dial hit to MCCombs, who
fielded the ball high to Russell, and
while "Skates" was skating after the
sphere, Dial advanced to the second sta
ton. Daily and Watts famed the air.
Mont Morinzo pounded out a clean sin
gle to center, and Dial touched the
home plate. Yousouf Heyman hit to
right garden. Pritchard nada an
error in handling the ball, allowing
Morinzo to go to third. Seven Dol
lars" Bullock hit to McCombs, who
made tumble, and Morinzo tailed.
The visitors tied the score in the
sixth. Stark led off, and famed.
Markell got life on Eggert's tumble.
Dial scratched out an infield hit. Daily
died on a fly to Billy McCombs. Watts
hit in. the infeld, and beat the ball to
Skates basket. The bags were fill
ed, and in his anxiety to make Morinzo
nibble at wide ones, Morris passed the
unspeakable Turk to first, forcing a
run across the plate. Yousouf hit out a
grounder, which EggerJ gathered up a
few feet back of second base. He
turned somersault and tried to crawl
to the bag before Mornzo reached it,,
but failed. Two runs were scored be-
fore Eggert was right end up, and the
game was tie. After this the Turks
found it impossible to connect with the
plate, although they gave the specta-
tors scare in the twelfth when Prit-
chard muffed Daily's fly, and allowed
him to go around to third
When the score was tied Heyman
settled down, and became more effect
i've. Wheeling lost chance to win in
the ninth, through stupid base running.
Another chance was lost in the tenth,
by fast double play from right field
to first. In the thirteenth. the WISH
tors went down in one, two, three
order. Pritchard was first at bat for
Wheeling, and he sent the ball spin
ming out to center field for a clean sin
gle. Eggert sacrificed, advancing him
to second. Russell sent pretty lire
drive out to center. and Pritchard
sprinted across the plate with the win
ming run.
The score:
