Mansfield and GAINESVILLE, according t.
Wheeling, are "jay" towns, and they have
it in for the Nail City.
Bethany College already has its base
ball club in the field, and proposes to dc
great things this coming season.
Those clubs that kicked loudest against
the schedule presented by Wheeling
had not gumption enough to get up one.
Complaints are made that the seats in
the grand stand are not Us comfortable
as they might be. They are not high
enough.
Neal, who was with Louisville last sea-

team are still holding out.
The new Schedle Committee of the Tri-
State League has been appointed by
President MCDermoth, and consists OF
Wheeling, Kalamazoo and Mansfield.
This committee will meet in Toledo rs
soon as convenient. The schedule de-
cided on by this committee goes.
The Tri-State League meeting at San
dusky was in every way pleasing to To-
ledo. There is some question whether
Buckenberger's schedule would have
been good thing for Toledo as was at
first thought. II gave Wheeling advan-
tages which would have been difficult
to overcome. True, it gave Toledo good
dates, but it is altogether probable that
President McDeFmith's committee will
do the square thing for more reasons
than one.-Toledo Blade.
1.-THE matter of selecting umpires,"
says the Toledo Blade, "from cities where
no club in the League halls seems to be
n useless piece Of business. Just Us good
umpires can be found in Toledo, Colum-
bus or Wheeling, or any other city in
the League, as can be found ut outside
cities. There are plenty OF men who
will umpire ball as it is played and it
is a sorry institution when the League
proclaims that fair umpires cannot be
found in city where the ball club is
supported. Danish the idea"
Now that the trouble over johnson,
Zanesyille's colored catcher, issettled by
the league at its Sandusky meeting rein
stating him, the next row to come up
will probably be between Canton and
Wheeling, with Brodie us the cause. The
thing has been smouldering for n long
time, and now threatens to break out.
The wherefore OF it all is this: Three
or four weeks after the close OF last sea-
son Brodie was written to by the Canton
management for his terms. He sent
them on and they were accepted, which
bound him legally to Canton. Not long
after he accepted Wheelings terms, thus
binding himself with two clubs. He did
not sign with Wheeling, however, until
recently. He was afraid that Canton
would cause him trouble, so he waited
until he imagined Canton had forgotten
all about his double dealing, and then
signed a Wheeling contract. Now the
Canton management threatens to black
list the enterprising left fielder, and it is
probable win proceed ut once against
him.-Cdnt0n Repository. 1t will be bet
ter for Canton to let the matter smoul-
der still longer. Brodie will play with
Wheeling.
