Club, will doubtless recognize the above
pen and ink sketch, as it is a very fair like
ness of him. All who have met Mr..
Buekerberger and become acquainted with
him are Of the same opinion-that he is a
gentleman in every respect, and n whom
it is a pleasure to associate with. He is
recognized as the most competent and in
telligent manager in the Tri-State League
to-day, and he possesses the rrsAect and
friendship Of every man in the club, and
the utmost confidence is reposed in his
opinions and actions by both the stock
holders and directors Of the club, as well as
the players.
He is one Of the most thoroughly posted
men in the business to-day on all matters
pertaining to base ball, aud he never goes
amiss in any of his business transactions.
He knows when a man can play ball, and
If play is in him, Manager B~uckenberger
Iau DiiuS II OuI-
"Buck," as he is Familiarity CALLED, was
born in Detroit in January 1861, and
began his baseball career with the Cass
club of Detroit about 1880, aud was with
tina. club several S asons. Iu 1888 he
played second base with the Indianapolis
club until August of that year, and
finished the season with Terre Haute as
captain and second base, and the next
season he managed that team and played
second base. He played the same position
With Toledo in 1885. In 1886 he was
manager and second baseman of the
famous Maple Leafs, of Geulph, Canada,
and last year held the same positions with
the Kalamazoo club Of the Ohio League,
which Won the pennant. That KalAma-
zoos success Was greatly due TO Mr..
Buckenberger's management is beyond
question.
he has brougb. out such players rs
Mcclure, of Philadelphi; Kid Seward, Of
the Athletics; Van Dyke, Of Dss MOines;
Campau, OF Kansas City; McQuery, of
Syracuse; Mappis, late Of the st. Louis
Maroons; Fuller, OF milwaukee,, and
Others. Wheeling was fortunate in Sc
curing Manager Buckenberger, as the
standing OF the club will indicate when
the season is oyec. We do not foolishiy
assert that Wheeling will snatch the pen
nant, but it intends to make a tall hustle
10 keep near the top of the pot and cap
ture the potato if possible. But Buck"
will see to that. Take another glance
at his picture aud see what q good looking
fellow he IS.
Tue Mansfield papers are kicking Vigor-
Ously against the schedule adopted there
the other day, and refer to President
Seeley and Manager Buckenberger as
foxy" They kick the hardest because
they could not get tine schedule after it
was adopted, aud say they are generally
left out in the cold, booked with Lima on
Decoration Day and the Fourth of July.
They say Mansfield will enter a protest
against the adoption of the schedule. This
is no reason why the papers should use
such harsh language, and II Mansfield had
the masking of the schedule she would take
all she could get, and more, too. Be con-
~sis:ent, gentlemen.
An interesting game was played OF the
Island ball park, yesterday afternoon, be-
tween clubs composed of members of the
team and several local players. Frank
Kuaus, the left-baDded pitcher, and
Yak, the lett handed catcher, was
the battery for one club, assisted by
the regular inield of the club Morrison
and Lemons and Stentzel formed the OPP
passing battery, and the team was made
up OF other members and outsiders. The
score stood 6 to 5 in favor the first men
toned club. ?he game was witnessed by
about 200 people.
The REGISTER is in receipt Of a copy of
A. S S%paldiDg's Blse Ball Guide and Off
cial League b ,ok for 1888, and il is found
to be, as usual, a ,lcnGid work. The on
tents include several new features, p,omi-
neat among which are explanatory APP
pendix rules to the newly revised code Of
playing rules, and the new and statistical
record of the pitching Of 1887. 1t is u
book of over two hundred psges, printed
in fine type, the whole embodying a COM
plete handbook of the national game.
The REGISTER does not propose to be
unfair in any of its assertions, and it is
our opinion that Lima and Mansfield got
rather the worst of that schedule, and the
REGISTER would kick if Wheeling had
been treated III the same manner We
would suggest that q change might be
made in the holiday games by giving the
smaller towns.a better show.
Manager Buckenherger has arranged q
game with the Keystones, the colored club
of Pittsburgh, on the 10Th, and with Nc
Keesport on the 18th. The 10th is the
only date he has open now, eighteen games
being booked, all but two of which will be
at home.

a little stroll yesterday morning. They
walked over the National road as far as
Fulton and back, but as all the boys arein
good trim they did not feel it much.

have him black-!isted, because they cawn't
do it, You know.
Lima has now twenty four men signed,
and continues to sign every man that
