The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1888-05-29

Speidel is doing good work for Jack
son. He bats well and at present is
holding down third base.
1t is said that Rowe will soon be de-
posed from the position of captain and
manager of the Kansas Citys and that
Sam Barkley will be put in his place.
Yak is said to have caught the ma
laria on this trip. II this be SO, it might
not be bad idea TO inoGulate the entire
team with malaria. Yak appears to be
the sure batter nowadays.
Mike Kelly, one Of Boston's $4,000
beauties, is going to play in Hoyt's
Brass Monkey" next winter, having
just signed five.year contract with that
popular playwright. This will help
piece out Kels modest little $1,000
salary.
There is a pretty well-founded rumor
that the St. Louis and Kansas City
Western League clubs will soon disband
for lack OF patronage, and in that event
some very fine players will be upon the
market. The attention of the directors
is called to this.
The mines to be played by the Globes,
OF Bellaire, and the Cyclones, Of this
city, in their game for the local cham
pionship at Island park tomorrow af-
ternoon, will be made up as follows:
Globes Gle : Kennedy p; Marlin, c;
$; Gallaher, |; Dorm, m, and Baer, r.

field, /; Reiyer, 2; Manley, 3; Dudley,

The base ball editor OF the Columbus
State Journal, in making his wholesale
charges that the Wheeling papers are
furnished their reports OF Wheeling
games abroad by Buckenberger, should
except this paper. Its reports are re-
ceived from disinterested source and
are not Of the character the STATE Journal
would have people believe, II the
Journal man and other base ball report
ers in the League would not show quite
so much gall for the Wheeling team,
their reports would not be so one.sidcd
as they frequently are.
The staff OF umpires employed by the
Tr-State League is petitioning for an
increase in salary. At present they are
being paid $50 per month each; they
want 500, the increase TO date from
June |. In the American Association
the umpircs Mc paid 800 each per
month, and in the other leagues and us
sociations, salaries range from Sl25 to
$500. This being the case $50 is too
small an amount to be paid in this
League. The increase should be grant
ed, nnd it probably will be, as eight OF
the clubs have signifed their willing
ness to grant the same. II is true that
the League is not ovcrly.prosperOus, yet
this step is one it can well afford TO take,
for fair salary is an incentive to good
work. The lNTgLLlGESCER would sug-
gest that the increase be granted, and
then, that Umpire Bates be fired, pro-
vided the reports about his incompe-
tency are true, and Al. Bauer hired in
his place. Bauer is well thought OF by
all Of the clubs.
