STANDING OF CLUBS.

AhoiioAA ~ ~ .oVo
I A family circle of spectators saw the
locals put it all over the rowdy Mans
field club yesterday at the Island Park in
the last game of the season on che home
grounds. Eddie Poole pitched shut-out
ball and had it not been for that wild
throw of Ritter's in the first, the WISH
tors would never have seen the prom
ised land. Roseborough also pitched
ball, but it would not have won the
game, regardless of the rowdies' errors.
The Buckeyes sustained their reputa-
ton. me only surprising feature was
that Umpire Davies displayed so much
good nature and only had two of them
put out of the grounds. Take about
seven men off the Mansfield club and
the Ohio team will have as gentleman
ly players as one could find anywhere.
Fox started it. He was for the most
part responsible for the whole disgrace
full exhibition. 1t is just such scenes as
that which occurred ON the diamond
yesterday afternoon that queers the ma
tional game
The home team made five of their six
runs in the third inning on three hits
Ritter, who batted 900 during the game,
started the fun. He was first up and
to celebrate the fact got the first safe
one off Rosey's delivery. 1t was a
beaut into left and was good for two
bags. Boyd followed suit, putting a
second one into the same place, and
"Rit'' came home. Skopec hit line
drive to TRULY, who nearly caught Boyd
at second for double. Taylor got
busy with his club and hit to right,
Boyd only going to rnfrd. McVey
threw home and Bill went on to second.
Congalton popped up little easy one,
but TRULY after walking all around it,
caught it on the first bounce and the
bases were full. Pardee hit smashing
grounder to Lowney. The ball was go

cusable. 1t went almost to the fence,
and before itwas f1elded in Boyd, Taylor
and Con" went through in safety, and
AL. was safe on second. Cockman hit
to Flourney, who muffed it, and AL.
started for third. Flourney threw bad
ly, the ball hitting the fence behind
third, and Al went on home. When
the dust cleared, COckman was only one
space from the plate Poole hunted beau
tifully and had any other third bags
man but keenan, been there Cockrnan
would have scored, but the little fellows
beautiful play cut him off. Lyle ended
the agony by going out at first
Wheeling only scored in one other
inning, the sixth. Cockman hit to
left for one. Poole's out at first adj
vanced him to second and he came
home on Lytles safe one into the
same territory.
Manshelds only score was made in
the first. 1t was unearned at that.
keenan, led off with a hit. McVey's
bunt to Boyd retired keenan, at sec
ond. Connor hit into right, advanc-
ing McVey to third. Conner started
for second, and Ritter tried a quick
throw with Pardee. The throw was
bad and McVey came home. TRULY
and Floarney were easy outs. For the
remainder Of the game not even one
rowdy reached third.
During Wheeling's half of the sew
enth. with Boyd at the bat, and two
strikes, what looked like pretty enc
crossed the spot Fox threw to sec
ond. thinking Boyd was out Davis

ter. Then followed one of the disgrace
full scenes Mansfield puts up. On ac-
count of this and divers other things
Bully" TRULY was escorted from the
field by a policeman al the order q
Davis. Fox followed him a, little later.
In the eighth Skopec went from right
to second, in Pardee's place, AL. hav-
ing sprained his wrist on a slide.
Jones took Scopes place in right.
Pop" Lytle played beauty game in
left. having six put outs and no errors
TO his credit. OF the six two were very
difficult chances.
Yesterdays was the last game of the
season on the home grounds. Wheel
