THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Oftho Base ball Association Organizes and
Is Ready for business.


The newly elected Board Of Directors
of the Wheeling Base Ball Association
met at the Howell House last evening
and orpanized. Mr.. John Wright pre-
sided and W. 7. English was secretary.
There were two candidates Tor the presl-
deucy, Mr.. ~. +. Howell and Mr.. A. E.
Smith, and Mr.. Howell was elected by q
vote Of 4 to 3. Mr.. Smith was then
elected TO the vice-presidency over Mr..
Mclaughlin. For the Office OF secretary
Mr.. English was chosen unanimously.
Mr.. Mclaughlin was made treasurer and
Messrs. BrIbaker, Keohnlein and Nc
Laughlin were elected as Finance
Committee. This committee was then
authorized to sell $1,000 worth Of stock
ut its par value, and taking time by the
forelock, managed to dispose OF quite a
block OF it last night.
The secretary was ordered TO draw up
a clear and concise statement of the al.
fairs OF the associations showing in detail
the liabilities and assets, the beliefofthe
Directors being that such statement
will assure those who may have money
to spare to put into the Association that
they are not dealing in a losing concern
when they 90. in. The present condition
coupled with the policy adopted for the
future makes the outlook bright.
The Board adjourned to meet at the
call OF President Howell. Nothing was
done about securing u manager or play
ers and nothing will be done till it is
known Just what Columbus is going to
do. The managers Of the American AS
ISOLATION now haYe their eyes on that
city as good one to fill the vacancy oc.
casioned by the withdrawal OF
Cleveland, which goes into the
League. In case Columbus takes
n place in the Association 1t will
disturb the arrangements already made
by the Tri.State League clubs OF last
season that have banded together for
next season. These are Columbus,
Wheeling, Mansfield and Canton. These
four formed the nucleus OF league Mt a
meeting recently held at Mansfield, and
which adjourned till January ID TO look
about for four more clubs, Lima, the
winner OF last seasons pennant, being
counted on for one.
Whatever may be the course OF Column
bus, it is certain that Wheeling will have
n club next season, and that she will be
in some league. The directors mean
business, and will leave nothing undone
TO make the Association and its team a
SucceBs,

or Kate Pursell, :her play queen OF
the Plains" and her pet horse, FREELY,
to be seen ut the Opera House this even
ing, the Philadelphia Times has this
complimentary mention: Queen Of the
Plains" is one OF the higher order Of
border dramas, depicting very wildly
many phases Of Western life, and is an
intensely interesting one throughout,
full Of comedy, pathos and thilling sit,
ualions. Kaie Purssell, the heroine and
star, in her several characters, filed the
most exacttng requirements, and made
herself iavorite at once. Gifted witha
face and figure OF rare beauty, and
voice d great clearness and purity, she
looked and pels0patod the different ar
duOus characters to perfection. Her
company is u good one and rendered ex-
cellent support without exception. Her
pretty milk white horse, "Fire-Fly"
shows the result OF long and careful
stage training. The special scenery
added much to the SUCCESS IF the play.
