Some Clippings of Interest to Lovers OF the
The Wheeling correspondent OF Sporting
Life has the following in the last issue OF
that paper:
A gentleman who is acquainted more or
less intimately with all the local ball play
ers, recently gave me some interesting in
formation concerning the most prominent
OF those who call Wheeling their home.
Said he: ''Wim White ought to he worth
more than the Louisville correspondent
gives him credit for-Sl, 500-for he saves
almost every dollar of his salary. He never
drinks during the playing season, never
carouses around at night, is a man OF good
habits, and, as a consequence, has not TO
treat every man he meets. His conduct at
home is Just as exemplary ~ abroad, and
it may be naturally inferred that he is not
so popular among u certain class OF players
and their cronies as he might he. In fact,
a good many of the oysthink Will is quite
stuck up think White would like to
play third base and play it for New York,
too. He is a beautiful thrower, and thinks
he could line the ball over to first from thai
point with any of them.
"Glasscock is quite the reverse of White
in some respects. He is quite free with
his money, although he has saved some
more in the last two years, however, than
in any other like period of his life. Jack
likes his fun and is popular with the boys,
bat he is keeping himself as straight rs a
die this year. He thought something of
going IL California with one OF the combi-
nations this winter, but before making a
decision, with rare thoughtfulness referred
the case to his wife, who very sensi1ly set
q veto on it as far a. she was concerned,
and the champion short stop at once fell in
with her way of thinking.
''Barkley is also doing the square thing.
To tell the truth, he has been the only sup
port of his mother for years, and hight well
has he fulfilled his trust. A mothers last
days should be her best days, and know
this to be true in Mrs. Barkley'S case"
A number of business men were felt oil
the base ball question yesterday, and al
though a few responded literally, the gen.
eral result was not very satisfactory. With
a little more generosity GAINESVILLE will he
able to send in her bond yet ahead of the
swell cities that have been sympathizing
with her because she had not get-up and
dust enough to maintain Der position
in the Ohio League. -ZdaeSriNe TimeS-Re-
cOrder.
Sporting Life, in it's last issue, prints the
full standingot the members of last seasons
Ohio League teams.
Canton claims the batting average of its
club for next season 10 be 1913; fielding
average, .9lS.
The Cincinnati Tmes..Std a of yesterday,
contained the following.
GAINESVILLE has asked for thirty days
more time to post the guarantee. The re-
quest will be refused and Lima will per-
baps have to give up the title Of "Bahy''
to Toledo.
Wheeling enthusiasts get their base ball
dirt cheap. Fifty season tickets at $40
each have been issued.
Canton wants a left fielder and is after
George Pickles, an East Liverpool boy.
1t would be awful if he should happen to
sour OF the tour.
The Red will not 90 to Wheeling on
April 16 and will probably take a second
whack at bud" Ramsey and the COving-
ton Stars that afternoon.
