The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-08-30


Toledo ut New Castle,
Springfield at Mansfield.
The Old Soldiers from Dayton gave
the stogIes and the spectators Of yes
tsr!ays ball game a great scare In the
c.rh,h inning, when they rallied at the
bat in handsome style and took advan.
,agc OF ragged play by the Wheeling
feeders that doesn't show in the tabula-
ted score. 1t was the old trouble again
failure OF players to call out the field
ar to whom the bali properly belonged.
Twice In the eighth when the Daytons
tied the score, both Strang and Leahy
went after balls and both stopped short
and let the sphere fall safe. This would
Eccm to demonstrate with sufficient
strength the need Of an assistant cap
tain In the inileld, either Lyons or Niles,
who should call out the fielder who has
the best chance for the play. With such
an arrangement in yesterdays game
Dayton would have been shut out, and
4 heart-brenking ten-inning' struggle
would not have been necessary.
Poole and Moore were the opposing
twirlers and Eddie had far the better
OF the argument. But for the ragged
support he received In the eighth In
ulng he would have shut out the WIS.,
itOrs without run and but four hits.
AS It was, four OF the nine hits recorded
against him were the verlest scratches.
Moore. on the hand, was hit hard and
often. Dobbs distinguished himself by
hitting out for two clean three-base hits
and single, besides going down to first
once on pass and scoring n neat sac
finCe hit. "Dobbsy" was attlred In
sky-blue trousers and yellow striped
stockings, but there's no yellow streak
in his composltlon-aulte the contrary,
in fact.
Wheeling opened up heavily on Moore
in the lrst inning. when Dobhs worked
his way TO the initial bag on four wide
ones and scored on Niles fine two-bag-
ger TO the fence. on DOnahue's out to
D0nnclly. Billy" Travelled on TO third.
and Lyons fly TO Miller carried him
home
Again in the second the Stogles made
the circuit OF the bases, Leahy getting
n life on Middleton's error, stealing Sec
Ond and scoring on DObbs' first three
Dagger after two were out. Dobbs was
left on third.
Niles scored the fourth run In the fifth
inning, reaching first on Whalen's FUN
bic. going to second on DOnahue's sue
Ccssful bunt. to third on Lyons sacri-
flee, and scoring on Srang's bunt.
Leahy was the third out. leaving two
on bases.
Another score came In the sixth. Cote
hit out for n single, and POOle's life on
Cawley's error advanced Cote to Sec
Ond. Third was reached on DObbs'
clever sacrifice, and the run came In on
Niles out at first.
The visitors could do nothing with
Poole until the eighth. Moore led on
with strlke-Out. but DOnnelly was
given n base on balls. Then Whalen
flew out 10 Pop" and the fans breath
ed sigh OF relief. but Just here the
beautiful uncertainty OF the game was
given n striking eXempiliicatiOn, and
the StOGies' nice lead Of 1--WE runs was
as nothing before the smoke had
cleared. With DOnEclly on first and
two out, Frank popped up llt;le fly
that either Strang or Leahy could have
taken. but each thought the other
would. and both stopped short, the ball
falling safe and allowing Donnelly to
sCUue. Then Pot" RIem1n's scratch
two-5ag5cF sent Frank 10 third, and
Millgr's !Giicld single scored him.

Billy" Niles got mixed up on the
throw 10 catch iinau At third. the ball
rolled OUt toward left field and the
risky German came In wi;h ths run
that tied the score. Middleton hit for
another scratch single between Leahy
ana Sirang. but Clwlcy ended the
agony by striking out.
Neither side did anything In the
ninth Lytle's two-hagGeT going for
nothing. but In the tenth Wheeling
pulled the game out OF the FIRE. With
Ltahy an out. Cote hit for Il single,
AMI Poole followed suit. amid great
enthusiasm. Cote was nearly thrown
out 1t thlrd-in fact. many fans assert
al % was an OUTPUT as the inning
finally resulted. one run would have
been scored even II Cote had been de-

Were robbed Is basclcss. DObbs was
loudly called upon for HIT and he re-
