THAT SCHEDULE.

Something More About It-G ,asscock
yindicated Other Notes.
The Tri-State League is scheduleless
On account of the opposition OF four clubs
the schedule as prepared and adopted was
downed and the League was left as it was
several months since-without q pro-
gramme to go by, and all on account of
petty spite work, and because q member
of the committee acknowledged that he
did not know what was in the schedule
and claimed he had been imposed upon
OF course there isn't any use in kicking
about the matter any more, because it will
do no good, but we would like to see
people appointed on such an important
committee rs schedule committee who
are capable Of doing their work intelligent
ly, thereby saving much trouble and dis
sention. 1t seems that Columbus, San.
dusky, Mansfield aud Lima banded to-
gether to defeat any proposition Wheel
ing might make, but even they
could not stomach the awful
sick attempt at schedule that
Hosfeld Of Mansfield attempted TO spring
on the meeting. That chap was unani-
mously downed when he suggested the
adoption Of his checker board. He said it
was 30 plain baby could understand II,
yet he was compelled 10 scratch ell over it
when asked for certain dates. Maybe
Hosfeld il another kind Of baby. The
whole truth OF the matter was that an at.
tempt was made to have committee
selected that would leave Wheeling out,
and that couldn't be done. This man
Ha.feld, il may be remarked, In the same
chap who informed Columbus Dispatch
man that be would have Wheeling fired
out of the League. Wonder why he didn't
do it. But to return to the schedule
The enew committee, composed Of Columbus,
Mansfield and Wheeling, couldn't agree,
and it was agreed by the meeting TO sub
NIT the formation of q schedule TO Presi-
dent McDermith and President Wyeoff, OF
the American Association, the latter OF
whom will no doubt draw up schedule
which is to be adopted as presented, the
season to open April 20 and close Oct. @.
However, no exhibition games already
hooked are TO be interfered with, and all OF
Wbeeling's games will be played II Is
hoped this will settle the matter, although
it is an unnecessary expense 10 the League.
Jack GlasscOck EIoneratsd.
Mr.. Harry L. Spence, manager Of the
Indianapolis baseball club, writing to a
friend here, makes statement Of the facts
in Jack Glascock's little trouble there re-
Gently. Mr.. Spence says: 81 made an in,
vestigstion Of the matter and found that
on the evening Of his arrival, Mr.. Glass.
cock, with q number of the players, went
into restaurant for lunch. There they
met several acquaintance, amongst whom
was Q man under the influence Of drink.
This man has, during the winter, had
trouble with his wife, and short time ag,,
he procured divorce from her. He in
formed Mr.. Glasscock Of his trouble and
was loud in his complaints as 10 how his
wife had used him, etc, whereupon JACK
told him that in his opinion she must have
been q very bad woman, and he
should have been glad to have got
rid of her. This seemed to
anger the man and he struck at jack. This
was the only blow struck. Jack acted q
manly part in refraining from Furnishing
the fellow. He merely csught his hands
sud held him moment, then let him 20.
This was absolutely all that occurred. The
action of the fresh young reporter in writ
ing il MP is universally condemned, and a
we have made . thorough investigation
and are aware of the exact nature of the
trouble, we have no hesitation in fully ex.
onersting Jack from any blame in the mat.
