Weary Wanderers. who now register
from Columbus. fell victims to the
home club in well played game yes
terday afternoon. 1t took Wheeling
eight long innings to solve the mys-
terry which surrounded the sinuous
curves of Wolf, but they landed on his
delivery with vengeance in the ninth,
and won out in a Garrison finish. 1t
was hair raising end to a well played
game, and it put all the fans" in good
humor, besides begetting desire to
return to-day.
Frank Torreyson was conspicuous by
his absence. but his brother Thayer,
attended to the talking end for the
family, and fully sustained its reputa-
ton in that respect. His jaws moved
automatically and with the regularity
and rapidity of a trip-hammer. He was
given full sway until the fifth inning,
when he was sitting on the bench, and
Beville indicated with a motion OF his
bat that Carothers was in error in call
ing strike on him. That was suftici-
ent for Thayer. 1t was his cue.
Jaw! Give us a run for our money
Them amt strikes" he yelled.
Carothers promptly ordered him out
of'the game. For about an inning and
a half Torreyson was good little boy
but it would be as easy to stop the
flow of the water over the falls of Nj
agara as to prevent him from talking.
He broke out again in the seventh, and
Carothers ordered him off the grounds
TOrreyson got as far as the club house.
and was in hiding until Columbus half
of the eighth and while his team was
scoring he ran out like an Indian and
his voice drowned those of all the
coachers. Shorty" Gallagher the old
Wheeling favorite, succeeded Torreyson
at second, and was given a hand when
he first came to bat.
The game was a pitchers battle. in
which the honors were fairly divided.
Pastorius was hit throughout the game,
while Wolff held Wheeling down to
1.-Two singles until the ninth, when the
home players punched four safe ones
and scored the winning runs. The
crowd was small, but made itself heard,
and in no uncertain tones, in the last
inning The feature of the game was
a sensational catch by Ziegler in the
second inning. A hot liner left Daniels
bat and looked good for two bases.
Ziegler stopped it with his left. Jug
gled it a second, and held it.
1t looked like Wheeling would make
a million at the first dash out of the
box, but only two scores were pulled
out Dobbs led off with a single.
Lyons waited and got a pass. Niles
hunted and gave Wolf an easy chance,
but he fumbled the ball and the bags
were filled, with nobody out. Meyers
was hit by the ball, forcing a run across
the plate. Carothers called two strikes
on Strang, one of which was palpably
wrong, and the little left fielder got
case of rattles and famed out. OHara
sent long fly out to Daniels, which
enabled Lyons to come in from third.
Ziegler hit to Kreuger, who retired
Meyers at second.
Columbus tied in the third. Kreuger
started the trouble with single to
center. Pastorious could not pitch to
Beville, and he walked to first. Torrey-
son advanced both runners on a neat
sacrifice hit to Myers. Bailey's single
to left field brought Kreuger and Beville
across the plate.
In the eighth the Wanderers took
what looked like safe lead Bailey
was hit by the ball and scored on
Lowerys double to left field Lowery
took third on wild pitch and tailed
on Daniels fly to O'Hara.
Then came the lucky ninth, in which
Wheeling earned three runs Strang
hunted toward third, and beat the ball
to the initial bag. O'Hara followed
with clean single. Ziegler had two
