cenonstrated that they
we're some neidera Three double
plays IL something that you seldom
zee a team pull OF IN one game. Yet
the Smokes turned the card yesterday.
Just a. though they always played with
an q In the hole. They oatelassed
Akron In fielding. and ran away with
the game under raps.- As an old
turfman remarked. The ally has the

they won pulled up.
Akron made a vain attempt in the
ninth TO pull n victory. but their fond
hopes were shattered when one Rab-
bit Jewell pulled down Lattimore's ry
that looked like a SURE two-bagger. It's
no wonder Latty swore when the
catch was made. Anderson was one
OF the leading actors IN the outield.
n the way he helded some OF the
pills made them sit up and take
notice. Dodd and Jensen played a
good fielding game. while Servatius's
two-bagger was responsible for two
OF the runs.
Whites T~o-esseer.
Hitting as a pinch hitter. White
knocked a two-bagger for Akron in
the ninth inning. He and Johns
starred for the visitors, the latter Sc
curing two hits.
Jewell got two hits and a base on
balls which is stepping some. The
Rabbit has certainly made good in the
come back" role. and no longer are
kthe ans sore at him. Benny is still

Two games to-day. Paste that un-
der your lid. The first game to-day
will be called at . O'Clock. For the
Smokes, Graham will work the opener
while Billiard. who held the locals safe
at Akron, will twirl. In the second
game. Anderson will put Young or
Bemis on the mound. Osbourne. a
southpaw. will work for Akron. Both
games can be witnessed for the price
OF n admission. and a good attend
ance should be present.
Under ideal weather conditions the
opening on the home grounds yester-
day was a great success. The attend
ance was not as large as was first
expected. but everybody is satisfied
and there should be 1.2O0 out to-day.
Few Carr Showed Up.
There was only one little hitch on
the program. The secretary Of the
Ohio Valley Automobile association
was given the double X on the auto
mobile stun. He promised twelve
cars for the parade and but few OF
these were on the scene. But the
bugs turned out very well and are
showing great interest in the team.
Among the prominent visitors who at.
tended the game yesterday were Sena-
tor Howard Sutherland, OF Elkins:
Arnold c. Scheer. OF Charleston;
Stuart F. Reed. secretary of state.
and others.
After the parade had filed in the
park and the band had played Every
body's Dom IT," Judge Alan II. Robin.
con introduced Mayor Charles c..
Schmitt who threw the frs pill. The
} judge stated that Wheeling was a
good baseball town and everybody
wished the team luck. Then Mayor
Schmidt wound up rst like Mathew
