out Of the sunny, Southland there has
come n young man who happens to
possess pitching arm that seems to
be good enough to knock out most any
old opposition club that stacks up
against Wheeling. His name Is Parvin
and In build and speed he Is another
Ruslc. who Is possibly destined to
achieve as great fame us has come to
the Hoosier bali tosser. He arrived in
town at 1:ao o'clock yesterday morn
Ing. after having been on railroad
trains since Friday, got a little sleep
before Old Sol peeped from under
Wheeling hill. and In the afternoon
came to the rescue and made monkeys
out of the Grand Rapids batters, while
Wheeling hit Mick" Altrock hard and
often and pulled out victory, where
the fans had been anticipating defeat.
Needless TO say, Parvin Is now the Idol
OF the hour. A bleucherite accorded
the big fellow the highest praise he
could bestow When he yelled "Jeffries"
at him us he advanced to the plate to
take his turn at bat after having COM
pleted a particularly fine bit of twirl-
Ing. s';E
1t was the first game Of the series be-
tween Grand Rapids and Wheeling.
The visiting club was anxious to win
and banked confidently on turning the
trick. for mick Altrock was sent In
TO do the twir,ing. Last season he won
fifteen o. eighteen games pitched for
the second division Grand Rapids team
and was Internationally the best of the
Interstate bunch OF '9S. Wheeling,
however. was no respector of reputn-
tons, and Att 'rck's was considerably
shattered when the local hitters got
through with him.
Wells started In to pitch for Wheel
Ing and he lasted three innings. In the
third. Grand Rapids jumped on his de-
livery for five hits. undertaking into
FIVE runs, giving the visitors the lead
by three runs. At the conc fusion OF the
inning Wells went to left and Parrot
came in to pitch. He escaped with his
life. giving only one base on balls and
n hit, without any runs. Then Wheel
ing got In the game In the fifth. sccur-
Ing the lead by run, and Lyle reliev-
ed PARROT, sending In the new recruit.
Parvir. Hts performance cntftused
the fans, and 1t was certainly the finest
exhibition of pitching seen on the Is
land grounds this season. His work In
tight places was especially brilliant.
Grand Rapids was never dangerous
and Wheeling won victory that was
easier than the respective scores Of the
two teams would indicate.
The game opened with Dobbs crack
Ing out three-bagger that broke the
proud Altrock's heart. After that hit

nothing. as Dobbs was retired ut the
plate on Taylors intield hit. and Lyons
retired the side with q fly to Daily In
left. In their half. Grand Rapids got
run on Taylor's error. giving Hemphill
n life. and Days two-baggcr. Daily

and he went to third on Twineham's
