The Board of Directors of the Wheeling
Base Ball Association met last evening TO
consider the matter of the guarantee fund
OF $500 required to he deposited by each
| club in the Association before the opening
OF the season. The Wheeling Club has but
about enough money to run it along until
| tine opening of the season, and 1T the same
| time the guarantee must hr forthcoming. As
means oi getting over this dilemma, the
! Directors resolved to issue liity on
tickets at $40 each, good for every game
| between May 9TH and October 3lsi, and ~
| this would make the rate oi admission very
| low, it is very likely these tickets will be
| snapped up by lovers Of the nanc. No
Ln0lc than fifty will be issued AT this pricr,
under any circumstances aud those who
want the tickets had better apply Tor them
The money will not he spent, but ~ simply
10 be lodged in bank, 10 he credit Of the

Two OF the Sanders played with Canton

Seems to us that the Wheeling hitters
lined Sanders out in great shape.
There will be lots of new men in the
Ohio League next year.
