Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1895-04-07

Kels and Glasscocks and Ansons are
kicking up the dust on all the COM
mons. and the voice of the umpire IS
abroad in the land. There will be
something less than five hundred am
ateur teams in Wheeling, and each VIII
be infinitely superior to all others IN
its class. It's a great game-lS Dase
ball-and he is churl indeed VINO VIII
frown upon the American sport, at
once interesting and healthful.
Player Manager White has letter
from President II. h. Ziegler, stating
that President Nick Young, of the Ma
tional League, has accorded protection
to the Interstate Association. Zieg-
Ter is enthusiastic. He enclosed a lot
of contracts, which White immediate
ly sent out, and he expects to nave
them returned by Thursday. Whlte
has signed full team, but several are
on trial, if they do not come up to eX-
pectations, may be released, and lines
sent out for some of the National
League reserve players.
White will go to the grounds with
the architect tomorrow to locate the
grand stand, and work will commence
Tuesday. 1t will seat 1000, and the
bleachers 1000.
The schedule committee will meet
this week. Buckenberger has pre-
pared a schedule. Cincinnati will
play here April 30, and the season
opens May l.
BOXING.
The Metropolitan Club has thus far
redeemed all promises. The most i'm
portant embodied a sweeping denun-
citation of fake contests, and declining
the Marshall-Callaher contest has JUS
titled the good opinion of the public.
Callaher's action in declining to meet
the vanquished, and signing articles
with the victor, looked very yellow.
Another suspicious circumstance was
that the contest was to be within two
weeks. Marshall is in constant train
ing and might be in prime condition
by that time, but Gallagher would not
be fit.
Marshall and Gallagher are lucky,
for the. club officials probably would
not have given them a cent. 1t is un-
likely the men will ever meet.
Tim ScanlOn, who did Harry Nikirk
in two minutes, is willing to meet
"Yank" Kenny, the big South Sider
who has recently won laurels in the
Northwest. If the men come together
the capacity of the club house will be
tested.
Smoky" Hobbs and Leonard have
signed for ten rounds. This would be
a good opportunity for the proposed
Tri-State tournament, which would
draw WELL
BOWLING.
The event of the week in bowling
circles was the easy victory of the
Brownies. This gives the Brownies
undisputed pre-eminence; the more
remarkable because the South Side
team was the flower of it's League.
The South Siders freely and generous
ly acknowledged their weakness.
a remarkable fact revealed by a
study of the strings is that the high
est score by each South Side player
in any of the three contests, and the
aggregate high strings is 934 pins.
Had they made this score in each
game of the three the Brownies would
have won two. The result shows the
relative strength of the leagues.
There are few teams in the Musee
League which have made a creditable
showing, some individual strings fall
ing below 100. The Brownies, Bowl
ers, Nameless, Pen and Pencil are the
strong teams, and the race will grow
more interesting as the season ad-
vances.
