raise money to pay the members Of the
club when they return home, and while
the Association is about ont Of debt the
players wages are due, and on account Of
the falling of in attendance during the
last home series the finances must be re-
plenished by some extra means.
Feeling that the Wheeling base ball
public fully appreciate the efforts of
the club, management to give them first
class base ball, and that they will show that
have made arrangements for grand ben
eft game to be played on the Island Park
next Monday with Canton. The Canton
club will be given certain amount and
the Wheeling club will be the sole bene-
ficiary.
The tickets have been placed at 81
each, which looks pretty large, but it is
only an advance of 65 cents over the regu-
lar price of admission, and base ball lovers
can certainly afford to pay this
extra amount and help the
Association out. Tickets are now
on sale at Meder Bros. cigar store, at Sam
Letzkus', r. J.. Mansfield's and Robert
Burt's drug store on the Island. There is
not much doubt that very large number
of the tickets can be sold, and il is hoped the
public will act generously in the matter.
The Wheeling team did not play yester-
day, the game scheduled having been
played on Sunday. They play to-day at
Columbus, on Wednesday and Thursday
at GAINESVILLE, and then return home.
