The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1888-04-11

The making Of schedule for the Tri-
State League has finally been left to Mr.,
Wheeler G. Wyckof, one OF the promi-
nent members Of the American Associa-
ton and one OF the best posted base ball
men in the country. This was done late
Monday night and then the Tri-State
League meeting which had been called
to meet in Columbus, adjourned after
having had pretty hot session in which
1t was demonstrated to the satisfaction
OF all that no arrangement Of schedule
could be arrived at among themselves.
The new schedule is to provide for
l26 games to be played by each club.
which must be included between April
20 and October @. Each club is to make
three trips, playing two games with each
club on two trips and three games on the
third trip. The schedule prepared by
Mr.. Wyckoff is to be handed TO Presi-
dent McDermith, and that will settle It
it is TO be considered 20 go" from that
time on. A much vexed question is
thus disposed OF. It is believed Wheel
ing's interests will be well looked after
by Mr.. Wyckof.
JACK dLAsscocK EXoNERATED.
In the lately published report from
indianapolis about the trouble that the
great short-stop, John w. Glasscock,
had upon his arrival in that city, Jack
appears upon investigation to have been
a badly maligned individual. The en-
tire trouble arose out OF the fact that an
intoxicated person took otfense at n
harmless remark OF his, and this occuI-
renee was made the groundwork for
bit OF sensational fiction. The letter
given below fully explains itself and ex-
onerates Glasscock from any blame or
stigma in the entire transaction:
INDIANAPOLIS, April 4, 1888.
Mr. E., Wheelin0, W. HG.
SrR:-On my return from Cincinnati
was shown your letter to w. Brash,
asking the extentof Glasscock's injuries,
etc, and l take the liberty Of sending
you a full statement OF the facts in the
case, in order that you may know pre-
cisely what did occur and in order, also,
that this may remove any misapprehen-
sion existing in your mind as to the cir
cumstances which led up to 1t.
am informed upon the best authority
that on the evening Of his arrival Mr..
Glasscock entered restaurant, with
some friends, to get lunch; there they
met several acquaintanCes,a amonst whom
was man under the influence of drink.
This man has, during the winter, had
trouble with his wife, and short time
ago he procured q divorce from her. He
informed Mr.. Glasscock OF his trouble
and was loud in his complaints as tohow
his wife had used him, when Jack told
him that in his opinion she must have
been very bad woman, and he ought to
be glad to have got rid Of her. This
seemed to anger the man, and he struck
at Jack. This was the only blow struck.
Glasscock acted a manly part in refrain
ing from pounding the fellow. He
caught his hands, held him a moment
and then let him 60.
This is absolutely all that occurred
and had it not been for the action OF a
very fresh young reporter, no notice
would have been taken of the matter.
The action OF the reporter in writing it
up is universally condemned and as we
have made thorough investigation of
the matter, and are aware OF the nature
OF the trouble, we have no hesitation in
fully generating Glasscock from all
blame in the matter. Trusting this will
thoroughly satisfy you OF his freedom
from culpability, and that you will let
these facts be known for his benefit,
am respectfully yours,
II. L. spILLEE,
Manager indianapolis B, B. Associa-
ton.
