Such Crushcr.
The result Of the Tri-State League
meeting at sandusky is not so crushing
to Wheeling as first supposed. Presi-
dent seeley and Manager Buckenbergcr
arrived home yesterday. President
Seeley says he is well satisfied with the
results. The percentage system was not
carried, but the drawing qualities OF the
Wheeling team this season will over.
come the outlay. The only schedule
presented was that offered by Wheeling.
1t was not adopted on account OF fight
between the Northern and Southern
clubs, but il better schedule is made
Wheeling would like to see it. ltseems
strange that no other club presented
u schedule but Wheeling, inas-
much as the meeting was called
for that purpose. Manager Buskenber-
ger deserves great deal OF credit-some-
thing he will never get-for making up
his list. By his schedule he saves GlO
miles OF travel overlast year, when there
were only eight clubs in the League.
The matter, however, is supposed to
have been left in good hands. The de-
cision on the season ticket business re-
lieves Wheeling about $500 worth, which
is an item worth considering. That
Wheeling is well thought Of abroad it is
only necessary to mention that all the
clubs were fighting for the Fourth OF
July date. The representative Of the
GAINESVILLE club is reported us saying
that the club that beats Wheeling in the
series will win the pennant.
NOTES.
Why not call it the "Robbcr League?
GAINESVILLE stood by Wheeling in great
shape.
Wheeling can charge an admission fec
or not for ladies.
The grand stand at Prcsque Isle will
seat 5000 people.
Jackson will not engage a manager
who is not a player as well.
The sandusky papers speak very high
ly of the Wheeling delegation.
The Lima grounds will be the finest in
the League, judging from reports.
The small towns will live off Of the
percentage. Thisiswhy Mansfieldcrows
so loudly.
Both Kalamazoo and GAINESVILLE claim
the largest team in the League. Canton
is the light weight.
Kalamazoo will have six left hand hit
ters. Dwyer, OF Brooklyn, will be tho
slugger OF the team.
Too much cridit can not be given to
President Seeley, who held up the
Wheeling end SO nobly.
Wheeling thinks she has n prize in
Delehanty, and you ean gamble that it
is so.-SdnduSky Register.
Wheeling will adopt 10 per cent MS
