Toms turn. He had been batting right
handed the other three times up and
wasn't doing very we'll. But, as usual
he was due. Cannon after one or two
trials finally succeeded in throwing
one to the big fellows liking and
Tommy swung hard. The ball started
on line between the centre and right
ielders. Pardee trotted in, Taylor ar
rived at the home plate on jog, but
Denny didn't have any spare moments
to tarry, arriving in about two inches
ahead of the ball. This was the only
time during the game that the crowd
became disorderly. They forgot it was
the Sabbath. Finally the crowd and
the dust settled down, the former with
a broad smile on their faces, which was
reflected upon the benign countenance
of Uncle Tom, who was resting easily
on second. Congalton flew out to Gil
bert and Rothemels sky scraper to
Connors retired the side. In the ninth
Pequinney led off with a three Dagger
out into the west. Ritter hit a safe
one in the same direction, bringing
Pequinney across the pan. 1t was only
good for one, but some people are not
satisfied with sufficiency. He came
close to reaching second, but unluck-
lily, close don't count. The ball was
there first, and Ritter walked to the
bench. Pardee and Meaney were easy
outs.
The visitors started off in the third
Hess hit a liner out to Taylor The
ball was going pretty fast and Taylor
misjudged it, which allowed Hess to
reach second. Cannon drew a base on
balls. Gilbert sacrificed, advancing
them both one base. Lyons made a
beautiful stop of Sullivan's drive over
second and threw him out at first. This
allowed Hess to come in with a tally.
Thires fouled out. In the seventh a
two-bagger by Shay and hit by Glenn
scored second run. After Wheeling
had scored three in the eighth the visi-
tors in their half went out in one, two,
three order. In the last of the ninth,
however, after one man was out,
Wright got little scratch hit. Shay
lined out a three-bagger, scoring
Wright. Connors doubled, scoring
SHAY. a death-like stiffness naryaded
even the bleachers. Glenn hit to left,
advancing Connors to third. Hess was
there with his stick, and Strengthened
out on an outshoot. Everybody ran
around, but only one was needed. A
moment and the crowd arose and filed
out, everybody telling everybody else
what hard luck it was.

STANDING OF CLUBS.

A crowd of about two thousand peo-
pie saw Wheeling lose to Youngstown
yesterday afternoon, after virtually
winning the game. AS usual, Constable
Stoehr was present with his twenty
one warrants. All the players, the two
managers and President Haley were
arrested. They gave bond and were
each given in return a certificate of
fact. About the third inning, a con-
stable from Squire Greer's court, bear
ing warrants sworn out by N. Carl
Hamilton, of II N. Huron street, was
scene approaching the grounds. The
gates, ticket Office and carriage en-
trance were all tightly closed and bar
red and the game went on. However,
after the game the constable arrested
everybody on both teams, the mana
gers and President Haley. Justice
Greer accepted bond and the case will
probably be heard tomorrow. lie
justice intimated last night that other
criminal actions would be instituted
against the teams in the near futufe,
but farther he would not talk in regard
to the matter.
AS whole the crowd was very ord
erly. In only one inning, the eighth,
after Turner's two Dagger won the

LOUISVILLE. KY, May ia large
crowd attended the Fountain Ferry
park races to-day under sanction Of
the National Cycling Association. A
good card was presented and the two
handicaps resulted in spirited contests
and time close TO worlds records.
In the amateur one-third mile handi-
cap Frank Denny. OF Buffalo. rode from
scratch In Al seconds. The California
team, Mcfarland and Stevens, by fine
team work. succeeded in winning both
of the professional events. In each
race Mcfarland set the pace for Stew
ems, carrying him well into the scratch
where the latter went on and won. not,
however, without a hard struggle
against Owen Kimble, who landed Sec
ond in each event.
Tom Cooper, the Detroit profession
al. rode in improved form to-day, but
was not able to beat the team work OF
Mcfarland and Stevens.
Bald and Kiser did not race to-day,
but the former is rounding into form
nicely. He rode an unpaced twelfth

game before it was lost again, did the
crowd make any demonstration, with
which any fault could be found. There
were about a dozen ladies in the
stand.
A batting rally in the ninth won the
game for Youngstown yesterday after
noon. Pardee, the local twirler. al
though he was not very steady at times,
kept the hits well scattered up until
the last inning, when the visitors went
in with the score Az against them
and batted out a victory Perhaps
Pardee suffered from over-confdence,
or perhaps he is carrying out a bad
habit of letting down in the last two
or three innings, which he contracted
at Kansas City last season. His sup
port was all that could be desired
Taylor's error in the third being the
only one in the game.
The exhibition was one Of the pref
TEST seen on the home grounds this
year. Taylor for Wheeling and Sulli-
van and Shay for the visitors each
made one error but all three were diff
ticult chances and excusabIe on that
ground. The game abounded in SEN
sational stops and plays. Ritter out
pointed Hess behind the bat, allowing
nobody to steal His throwing was
magnificent. After three attempts the
visitors did not try the game again,
as it was sure death to the base run
ner. ~ vi
Wheeling did not score until the
eighth. In the other innings, with very
few exceptions, they went out in one,
two, three order In the fifth Pequin-
rey got base on balls Ritter tried
to sacrifice, but struck out. Pequinney
went to second on Pardee's easy chance
to Sullivan. He got as far as third on
a passed ball, but died there on Mea-
ney's fly out to Connors. In the eighth,
with the two to tie, Pardee was the
first up. He had his eye and reached
first on Gannon's four charitable, wide
ones. Meaney flied out to Shay. Tay-
lor handed out a hot grounder to Sulli-
van. 1t was an awkward chance and
the new second baseman fumbled it.
Our Own Denny could not get out Of
the way of a swift inshoot. The ball
struck, Denny grunted and the crowd
applauded as he limped down to first,
filing the bases. Then it was Uncle
