WHAT Is Inc bltuAuuH III Wncehhh " ~ -
The club get grounds or not? ! cannot DO
ANYTHING until matters arc settled, ana ]
inist know IN q few days. II you have
any information, give II TO me immedi'
aiely. have requested President Power
10 call a meeting OF the league for Mon.
DAWN Wheeling. Matters must be settled
o1e way or the other without any more
delay. J. W. GuNNSSLs.
On receipt of the foregoing. the writer
saw General Manager Wright, OF the
street railway company. He said that
he had Just received telephone mes
SAGE from President Power, telling Of
the passing OF Mckee. When asked as
10 the grounds, Mr.. Wright said that
everything was now in shape for the
club--whoever owns ito close a salts
factory deal for the Irwin site at Jacob
and Forty.seventh street. South Side.
In addition, said Mr.. Wright, he had de-
clded to offer such extra inducements
as might induce the management Of the
club TO accept the proposition OF the
Giles people for the use OF their grounds
on the north end Of the Island, $1,000 for
the season.
The passing OF Mckee Will not prove
disappointing move to the Wheeling
cranks. His mode OF doing business has
not appealed to the local people to an
alarming extent. II President Power
comes down to-day or Monday with gem
tlemen who are prepared to close up the
matter OF grounds at once without the
ture Of Mr.. Mckee, they will make a
pronounced hit. Wheeling VIII lose
nothing by the weakening OF Mckee as
the players slated for Wheeling cannot
be taken to his Paterson Atlantic asso-
ciatlon club. They belong to Wheeling
SO long as there Is an Interstate club.
The meeting OF the Interstate league
