STANDING of .LUBs.

1t was an occasion when something
had to be did" 1t was a disastrous
trip for the Nailers. and they came
home in second place. Yesterday they
We're given the opportunity to gain
their lost honors without moving
peg. 1t was a combination OF cir
cumstances which made the game one
of more than ordinary Importance and
therefore well repaid the Carroll
county, O., "rooters'' who came down
$50 strong with the Carrollton brass
band yesterday, to witness the work
of their neighDor and friend, Eddie
Poole, in the box.
While nalf of the visitors scattered
over the town taking in the sights,
the others were over at the ball park
and helped out in the old-time exhibit
ton Of roofing" which did as much
as any one other thing TO save the day
for Wheeling. 1t never rained harder
in Carrollton, say the visitors, than it
did Wednesday night. Otherwise the
crowd from that point would have been

nine passenger coaches on the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie train.
1t rained at the ball park, too, but
it was merely shower, which Umpire
Colgan appeared to have gagged prop
erly, as ne permitted the game to go
on during the storm. the conditions
were not very favorable to a snappy
game, and the contest dragged along
for seven innings. Wheeling had tai
lied once through good base running,
and poor throwing by the visitors.
Dayton had scored twice, each run be-
ing made on single anu triple.
1t began to look like the good luck
which has always attended Poole's
pitching, has deserted him. The idea
of causing a balloon ascension in the
Dayton ranks appears TO have Struck
the grand stand occupants and bleach
critics simultaneously, and they cut the
cord ! fair. There was c--eering
and bowling, with which was mingled
Lne clang of the cymbals and the
beating of the bass drum of the Car
rollton band, all making din suffi-
cient to rattle any twirler. 1t saved
the lay for Wheeling. fitzpatrick lost
IS head, anu IS heart went back on
him also.
Tom Turner was first up, and was
swiped with the ball. Congalton drove
out single. Taylor sacrificed and
each runner went up peg. Pequin-
ney tried hard for a safe one, but
could not drive the ball out of the
inneld. He was thrown out at the first
sack and Turner was pinned on third.
This was two down, and il took little
of the pepper out of the rooters. Rotn-
ermel waited, and drew gift, filling
Inc bags. Ritter allowed a pitched
ball to hill him, and a run was forced
across lne plate.
One more to tie, and it was up to
Poole. Eddie was equal to the emer-
gency. He drove the ball between Sec
ond an -rd, and Gochnauer made a
good stop, but threw wild to second to
catch Ritter. Congalton and hother-
mel scored, and foOle ran down to sec
ond. fitzpatrick hit Meany, and all the
bases were again tenanted. Lyons
disappointed the crowd by striking
out, but Wheeling was in the lead, and
the visitors did not score in the last
two innings. They had runners on
secon~ and third, with two out, in the
eighth.
Poole was the star of the game. He
was mott n his best form, having pitch
ed Tuesday, but he worked hard. His
felding was remarkable. He accepted
eleven chances without an error. The
score:
