Inexcusable fielding errors by Dayton also figured promi nently in the result. It was Wheeling’s first home game for several weeks and if the weather had been favorable a larger crowd would have greeted the club. As it was. the attendance was fair, and the crowd was composed exclusively of “rooters.” The "knocker” element was conspicuous by its absence. The game was well played from a Wheeling standpoint and the "fans” who were present yesterday may bo depended on to spread the good news that the home club Is now puttiug up a good, snappy article of base ball. It was Wheeling’s game from the start. notwithstanding the fact that the Dayton club is one of the strong est in the League. For six innings Campbell pitched phenomenal ball, holding Dayton down to one hit, a sin gle made bv Wetzel, the first player to face him in the first inning. They secured another run in the seventh on two singles, and gave the home club a scare in the last two innings. Dayton struck a hitting streak In the eighth inning and piled up six runs, an excusable fumble by Deisel helping the thing along. Wetzel was first at bat and died at first. Hogan and Flick singled and the former scored on Reiman’s fly out to Miller. Frank got a life on Deiscl’s fumble, which should have retired the side with one run. Then Greet! wald singled. Kellner walked, and McShane and Bates doubled, and six runs were made before Miller got under a fly from Wetzel’s bat. Tn the ninth Hogan led off and reached first on Shay’s error. Flick singled and Reiman doubled to the center field fence, scoring Hogan. Only four runs were needed to tie. and Dayton had men on second and third with none out- Frank popped up a little fly to Torreyson. who fielded the ball quickly to Deisel. completing a neat double play. Greenwald de stroyed Dayton’s chances by surren dering at first. The work of the Wheeling club was full of “ginger" and snap. Captain Torrevson was in the game at all stages and his men played ball to w5n. Bradley. Miller and Messett did some terrific slugging, while the field ing honors fell to Shay ami Deisel, v.ho went after eveything in sight. Bates had eigtht. strike outs and an equal number of bases on balls, besides hitting one batsman. He was touched ip for thirteen hits with a total of seventeen bases. Wheeling did exc; 1 lent stick work, failing to bit safely in but two inninss. The crowd was favorably disposed toward the team and gave generous applause when in was deserved. To-day Garvey will probably pitch for Wheeling. He pitched five Innings at Ft. Wayne Sunday, but his arm is tn good condition. It will be ladies’ day and the fair sex will no doubt be out in force, as they have not seen a ball game for some time. Taylor has been slightly indisposed, but will be in the game to-day. He will play short and Deisel will hold down the second hag. Torrevson will lie on first and either Donohue or Messett will go behind the bat. The visitors will have to play ball to win.

The local team desired to continue the game, and Umpire Hubbard held that it was not raining enough to warrant discon tinuing the game. The visitors refused to yield, so the umpire gave the game to Youngstown. The score was 2 to 1 in favor of Youngstown. Mansfield.

August 23.—The Bostons i climbed two more rounds of the pen I nant ladder to-day by winning both games from the Louisvilles. the first of their series here. The attendance was small. The cold east wind made winter overcoats very comfortable, and i the enthusiasm was chilled. The first Beautiful eves grow dull and dim As the swift years steal away. Beautiful, willowy forms so slim Lose fairness with every day. But she still is queen and hath charms t* spare Who wears youth's coronal — beautiful hair. Preserve Your Hair and you preserve your youth. “A woman is as old as she looks,” says the world. No woman looks as old as she is if her hair has preserved its normal beauty. You can keep hair from falling out, restoring its normal color, or restore the normal color to gray or faded hair, by the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. ___ game was slow’, sleepy and listless. Stafford and Dolan played wretched ball, and their errors gave the Bostons all the runs they made. Louisville made two hits off Nichols in the first innning, .and only one more in the ninth. A fine running catch by Clarke, a line catch by Allen, and a foul catch by Bergen were the only features. In the second game Boston opened on Clarke and pounded him unmercifully throughout the game. They began the first inning with two singles, a triple and a home run, and this was a sam ple of what happened all through the game. Clarke’s magnificent fielding in. left field was especially noticeable. He made a fine catch close to the fence, and another hot liner. Captain Duffy was in his old time form and put two balls over the fence in left field. Tenney and Collins helped along the score by heavy hitting. Score, first game: R. H.E.
