papers have hammered Wheeling.
Mansfield especially has been a bad
town for anything South OF the Ohio
river. The only trouble is that the
Ohio papers think that Ohio is the
United States, but to show how silly
they are the following quotation is
given from the Columbus State Journal,
which says: "The secret OF Wheelinc's

that the team has five leit.handed bat.

why isn't it as fair for one club as i is
for another? Wheeling has the best
ball grounds Of any club in the League.
Ohio papers would better keep their
mouths shut, while Wheeling will still
endeavor to play the best ball she can.
Wheeling defeated AlcKeesport on
Saturday for the third time. Billy
George, Of Bellaire, who has been play
ing with Wheeling, was called home
from Mckeesport Saturday evening,
owing to the fatal illness OF his sister.
He may join the club later. O'Brien is
rapidly recovering from his illness and
may rejoin Wheeling at Akron. l
There are number Of rumors anoat
about new men for the team, and while
nothing definite is known it is intimsted
that George will probably play with
Wheeling during the season. At this
time it is not advisable to mention other
changes that are likely to occur.

LONDON, June 1.-The recent denun-
Citations by Bishops and other high
placed keepers Of British morals Of the
growing evil OF gambling in this country
has been followed by the establishment
Of National Anti.G Gambling League.
The Earl Of Aberdeen has accepted the
position OF President, and among
the Vice Preeidents are several prelates
Of the Church of England aud leading
ministers Of non.conformist churches.
The object .of the league is ITO offer
strenuous aud uncompromising opposi.
lion to every form OF betting and gam.
bling, aud to diffuBe amoug young men
and others ugeful information on the
subject" '5s-,,ss7aasl5.= 4
The average young man hero gets
daily plenty OF information on the sub
iect in sporting articles and stock ex.
change reports in the newspapers. II
the league can convert the Journalists
and stock brokers with the next hum
dred years they will have made fair
start. The statute books contain many
laws directed against pretty well every
form OF gambling except stock exchange
speculation, but this evil, by general
consent, is at the present moment more
aourishing than it ever was. ~
This afternoon, for instance, the police
at Newport, Wales, raided dozen bet.
ting places frequented by the humble
speculators, and arrested scores Of peo-
pie who in due course will be fined in
small sums. The same thing is done in
London frequently, and could be done
daily with certainty OF big haul OF
sinners. But the police do not like the
work, because they are invariably &C.
cused Of making humble offenders suffer
at the expense of aristocratic offenders
whom they are not allowed to touch,
and magistrates ara often actuated by
the same feeling. Next week, however,
there will be a number Of raids in Lon
don on.the eve OF Derby day. But the
West End clubs will not be touched,
and roaring betting business will, as
usual, be transacted at the aristocratic
Tattersall's, under the very noses OF the
police. S-.. n. ~:
