BOXING NOTES.

There is probability that Jack Ben
nett and Eddie Kennedy will meet here
in the very near future.
The McClelland-Moran contest will
take place next Monday night in the
Fulton club house. Backers of the two
men have each wagered $3.50 on the re-
suit. @tlH
Eddie Kennedy is reported to have
boosted that he could stop Jack Nc
Clelland in two rounds, but denies that
he said it. An admirer of McClelland' S
posted a forfeit of 800 for a bet OF
$1,000 that McClelland would last
longer than two rounds.
"Reddy" Mason reported to the Pitts
burg Post that Frank Collyer was out
FOR half an hour and that Kennedy was
scared.
Kennedy and Mason have gone tn
Detroit to challenge the winner of the
fight between Matty Matthew's and RUDE
Ferns.
Oscar Gardner will box Bezenah and
Squirrel Finerty four rounds each in
Columbus Saturday night.

thority from President Power for re-
fusing to play the second game, but he
failed to produce either the letter or
telegram which he claimed to have re-
ceived from Power.
1t is doubtless a correct explanation
that Hubbard realized he was up
against almost certain defeat with a
badly crippled team and was eager to
take advantage of any pretext to pre-
vent the game. The umpire took his
authority from the schedule in the alb
sence OF any official instructions to the
contrary and after waiting the required
length of time, very properly declared
the game forfeited to Wheeling, max
ing four consecutive victories from the
Nailers. The proper course for Man
ager Hubbard would have been to play
the game after first serving notice of
his appeal, and then to place the matter
before the League Board at the end OF
the season.
The crowd was disappointed in not
witnessing the double-header which
was announced, but no person blamed
the local management. 1t is within the
range of probability that Mr.. Hubbard
maye have cause to regret his action,
as Wheeling has a Sunday game at
Fort Wayne soon, and it is long and
expensive journey to the lndina town.
The first game was we'll played on
both sides, and was fairly earned by
the home club through clean and time
ly hitting Three of Fort Waynes six
hits were made in the first and Melted
one run After that Pardee had the
visitors at his mercy. Harper also set
tied down after the third, and allowed
but three more safe ones to be made.
Congalton singled in the first. went
to second on Lyons safe one, and scor-
ed on Turner's single.
The visitors tied in their half, Bel
den scoring on his single and one bag
gers by Hemphill and Brashear.
The Nailers won the game in the
third inning by neat and effective
stick work. Congalton went out at
first, hlt Lyons drove the ball into safe
territory. Turner flew out to center,
Cockman hit to right field and Denny
went around to third. Taylor sent a
nice one spinning out over second base.
Denny trotted in and fleet footed Cock
man also got in safely. Neither side
scored after this.
AS soon as the game was finished the
Fort Wayne players packed their bats
and took a car for the city. Davis
waited ten minutes and gave the sec
ond scheduled game to Wheeling to 0.

day.
The Wheeling management was in no
way to blame for the failure of Fort
Wayne TO play a double-header with the
local team yesterday AFTERNOON. Manager
Hubbard, of Fort Wayne, started to kick
Tuesday night. and made such representa-
tons to Mr.. Shirley that he wired Presi-
dent Power and received the following
reply:
PITTSBURG, Pa, August 2sth.
W. A. Shirley
Have ordered Fort Wayne to play two
games to-day as per schedule.
This was sufficient authority for the
wheeling management and for Umpire
Davies, and the forfeited game will surely
stand and be counted for Wheeling and
against Fort Wayne.
Mr.. Hubbard claimed that one of the
games was to be played at Fort Wayne
on September 9th. Wheeling refused to go
for one game, and so notified President
Power, who subsequently sent the tele-
gram published herewith.

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-08-30

Umpire Davis has made a great many
plumbers, several because he is unfor-
tunate. In yesterdays game Brashear
deliberately pushed Boyd off the first
'0ag after he had been sent down with
a base on balls. Davis had walked
down to the pitchers box from behind
the bat, and turned to Look toward
first base just as Brashear had pushed
Boyd off. Brashear touched him with
the ball and Davis declared Boyd out.
It was awful! The crowd was furious
and several persons in the grand stand
started to leave the grounds in dis
gust Davis was called thief" and
"rdbber, but he did not see the play.
And again Denny was there with his
bat.
The game yesterday was another
beauty, and no mistake
The knockers have about ceased their
hammering since the Stogies have
taken four straight from Fort Wayne.
Pardee pitched a magnificent game,
allowing Fort Wayne but six singles,
three of which came in the first inning,
giving the Hoosiers their only run.
Harper has pitched and lost two of
the four games to Wheeling.
Pardee struck out six men and Har-
per four in yesterdays game.
But one free pass was issued and
that was by Harper to Boyd. Pardee
soaked 'Doggie" in the ribs once, how
ever.
New Castle comes to-day for four
transferred games. This will necessi-
tate another double-header this week.
Taylor, of Bridgeport, played right
field for Fort Wayne yesterday. The
'Hoosiers still have a number of play
ers on the hospital list. Belden was
back in the game yesterday. although
not in good shape after his fall in left
field in the first game Tuesday.
The Fort Waynians are hard losers
and it is altogether likely they will
slip down a notch or two in the stand
ing on this trip. Wheeling ought to
reach second place.
Poole and Ritter will probably be the
battery for Wheeling in the first game
against New Castle.

CHILD FATALLY BURNED.
Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony

Playing Near a Fire.

A 3-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Anthony Bulgari, of 17l6 Stone
avenue, while playing in the street in
the vicinity of her home yesterday
morning. was the victim of most
distressing accident, which terminated
in her death a few hours later. The
child, while playing with number Of
her companions near a fire, had the
misfortune to get too near the flames.
Her clothing caught fire and in a short
time she was enveloped in flames.
On seeing their companion in flames
the other children ran away and left
the unfortunate child, who screamed
with pain. Her screams We're heard
by woman in the neiShborhood, who
came to the child's rescue and tore the
clothing from her body in shreds. The
charred flesh clung to the clothes and
the cries Of the child We're heartrend-
ing. The child was removed to her
home and DR.. j. ]. Walsh hastily sum-
moned. Beyond applying lotions to
ease the pain. he could do nothing for
the child and few hours later death
relieved her.
The case is exceptionally sad, owing
to the fact that Mrs. Bulgari has been
confined to her bed for the past few
weeks. On hearing of the accident she
left her bed and rushed into the street,
crazed with grief.
