pardee made his debut in a Wheel
ing uniform, and enabled the Nallers
fl make 1t three straight from Jne
Champions. He was wild as a FIJI,
and Colgan scorched him a little, u
whsu the sphere cut the block the VS.
itors were unable to connect safely.
He nut the ball all around the spot,
hut bulls eyes were lamentably scarce.
Fourteen visitors walked on bad
ones. and Grafias drew a pass on a
swine in the ribs, a generous total
of fifteen presents.
New Castle took kindly to Pardee's
gift scheme, and waited. Six men
tarried too long. A little timely suck
work would have won for the VS.
itors, but they could not drive the
sphere safely. One little single repre-
sents the sum total of the batting Oh
The Champions. But for Pardee's gen.
crosby their score would have been
represented by a cipher. Their three
runs were gifts, pure and simple.
Pardee passed four men TO first !
the opening inning, and forced Van
Buren, over the plate. In the sixth the
first three batsmen in gray and red
walked. and Miller drove a hot one
to Lyons. Wheeling's margin OF lead
was not safe at this stage, and long
headed Denny wisely chose a double,
In preference to retiring Wright at
the plate. The next man was easy.
In the seventh Pardee duplicated his
first inning performance, compelling
McCreedy to score. Grafius made the
only hit of the game, but neither his
drive nor Wheeling's two errors fig
ured in runs.
Wheeling played faultlessly in the
field until the ninth inning. The in
ielders had some difficult chances,
but handled everything clean and with
clock-like precision. Contrasted with
this excellent work was the comedy
of errors on the other side. New Cas-
tie at times played like so many anna
tours. Some of the errors, notably
muffs of easy flies, were positively in
excusable. Mattress distinguished him
self by another throw over Wright's
head, directed at a boy IN the bleach
ers. Cargo also gave a poor exhibit
ton.
Rothemel opened UP the second by
cumming a pass, and Pequinney-he
has already been named "Pickaninny"
got a life on Miller's tumble. Both
runners were advanced on Boyd's neat
sacrifice. Pardee hit in the infield, and
the attempt to retire Rothemel at the
plate failed on account of Cargo's wide
throw. Meaney hit safely, and Pc
q%uinney came in. Taylor drove a hot
n to Cargo, and he threw wild to
second, Pardee scoring and Meaney
going to third. Taylor started to steal
and Grafius' throw to second allowed
Meaney to score. Taylor went to the
next station on a passed ball, and after
Lyons had walked, Turner drove out
a double, which brought Taylor in
with the fifth run.
A wild throw of Mattress, a muff by
McCreedy, and a long single by Con-
gallon gave Wheeling two more in the
fourth. Another pair was tailed in
the seventh on errors by Miller and
Cargo, a double by Boyd and a single
by Taylor. In the ninth Pequinney
raped out a double, and went to
third on McCreedy's muff of Boyd's
sky-scraper. The former scored on
Pardee's single along the right field
foul line. Boyd crossed the plate while
Meaney was being retired at first.
Taylor flew out, and Lyons safe hit
struck Pardee, retiring the side.
