Perhaps Poole would also have been
touched up by the Reds if he had been
permitted to pitch the game out. He
had occupied the box for four innings,
however, and the visitors had been I'M
able to get q single safe hit, and that
explains why the spectators, about
seven hundred Of them, Kissed when
Parvin stepped into the box. 1t was
not intended as an indication of feel
ing against Bones" but simply an ex-
preston of disapproval of the course
of the management in taking Poole
out, when everything pointed to vic
tory for the Stogies over the Cincin-
natl team Of the National League
1t was a very interesting exhibition
game, and the visitors were required to
play ball at all stages to win it. The
Stogies outbatted them, but the Reds
punched their hits off Parvin, ran the
bases skillfully, and profted by the
costly errors of the home club. Brett
enstein, the pretzel twirler, played
third for Cincinnati, and gave an awful
exhibition. All the errors of the
wheeling side were charged against
I.eahy, but they were made on diff
cult chances. They were nevertheless,
very costly, as the home club would
have won hands down, if there had
been a clean record at short.
Wheelings outfeld did remarkable
work, their sensational catches aiding
very materially in keeping down the
score. Pop" Lyle made one-hand-
ed catch early in the contest which
was a hair-raiser. Later Strang got a
fly after long run, and Dobbs gath
cred in two in center field, each of
which would ordinarily have been
good for two or three bases.
Cincinnati went to bat first. Leahy
fumbled the infeld hits of Barrett and
Crawford, and the former scored while
Crawford and Setback were being re-
tired on double play. In the second
Wheeling tied. With one out, Dona
hue got a life on Breitenstein's fun
BILE, Turner singled, and Lytle was hit
by a pitched ball, filing the bags.
1Strang hunted toward Breitenstein
and beat the ball to the bag, Donahue
scoring. The bases were still filed,
but the succeeding batsmen could not
connect safely.
After Poole had pitched superbly for
four innings, he was taken out. The
Reds did not score on Parvin in the
first inning, but in the next, after
Leahy had fallen down on two chances
to retire the side, duplicating his per-
Torrance in the first inning, McPhee
drove out a double, and Breitenstein
sent ball up in the air back of short,
which three players went after and
allowed to drop safe, the net result be-
ing three runs for the Reds. A double
and two singles gave another in the
eighth, and base hit on balls, double
and three singles in the ninth, brought
the score up to seven.
Wheeling kept pounding Hawley in
spots, but could not concentrate the
safe ones. In the seventh, singles by
Leahy, Lyons and Niles, gave the
Btogies two runs. A glorious oppor-
tunity was presented in the ninth for
Turner, who is the only Wheeling bats
man who ever sends the sphere over
the fence. With one man out, and
Niles on second. Lyons drove out a
single which scored Billy. Donahue
cracked out fly against the right
field fence, on which he took two bags.
Turner had the opportunity to tie the
score with a drive over the right field
fence, and he sent the ball spinning
in that direction, but it was caught
close to the fence by Crawford.
