In the good old days when the Irish
and the Germans held sway in the
ranks OF our national pastime such a
calamity as happened yesterday could
not have been No other nationality
but a "~Frenchfer could have broken
up such a nice game In the awful way
that ouche did when he leaned
against one OF Frost's shoots. driving
IL over right rcld fence for a round
trip.

telling effect. and were calmly rspos-
ing on arst and second when the
cleanup came.
Somewhere back in the annals OF
base bail there IN recorded the act OF
q gentleman named Casey. who. when
called on for a hit at a crucial mo-
mont. famed But you will remem-
Der that Casey was Irish. This third
baser OF Youngstown's comes from n
lineage far removed from the soil Of
old Erin. From among his country
men there has come slrCh heroes OF

otte and others. And. oh. how well did
Boucher uphold the tradition set by
these other bon homme Prancais."
Up until the seventh everything
went well and the "Stogles' stood q
good Chance OF placing the game In
their won column. with the score tied.
/ to /; but in this frame which in
h past has been called wheeling's
lucky seventh" Frost let up just the
least bit. with the foretold result.
The game itself was filled with
heart breaking thrills from start TO
finish. But the luck. IL there be
such an abstract quality. broke
against the locals in almost every
instance. Twice during the game
they had two on with no outs and
were prevented from scoring only by
the most wierd kind OF fortune. In
but one aiming did the "smokes" fail
to secure a hit. while in the third
and ninth they managed 20 bunch TWO
safeties.
Hits Were Bunched.
On the other hand while the Steel
men did not gather as large a number
OF bingles as the 'Stogies' yet al
