WHERE ARE We AT?"
More Complications Regarding the
Management Of the Wheeling's.
Buckenberger Transfers the Fran
chise, but Moreland Will Not
Consent-Mr. MCGEE Mentioned
as the New Manags Bowling
Records-Other Matters.

Special to the Register.
Pittsburg. Pa, February 22,-An i'm
portant change took place in the inter
State Base Ball league yesterday. c.
J. Mckee. Of this city, purchased the
Wheeling franchise from A. c. Buck
enberger. This deal was not altogether
unexpected. as Mr.. Buckenberger Will
have about all he can do to look after
his Toronto club. OF course, George
Moreland was going to manage the
Wheeling team, but Mr.. Buckenberger
did not want to be interested in any
thing he could not personally look
after.
Mr.. Buckenberger stated last even
ing that Mr.. Mckee will do the right
thing" with Mr.. Moreland. The latter
has spent time and money alerady in
connection with the Wheeling club, and
Mr.. Mckee Will compensate him for
that. Of course. il is a disappointment
to Mr.. MOreland, as he is an enthus-
iastic and capable young man in base
ball matters. 1Ir Mckee will secure
suitable grounds for his team, and the
Wheeling end of the new league will
be all right.
There. is strong hope that Akron and
F1ndiay VIII join the league. President
Power. of tine league returned yesterday
from trip To Akron, where he had gone
TO see wha, We're the prospects there. He
found great deal of enthusiasm at Ak
ron and quite a good sum Of money TO put
a team into the field. William Myer, who
is trying to organize club there, is con-
fident that an the money necessary can be
raised by March Isl. President Power
very wisely gave Myer till that date to get
things ready.
If Akron and Findlay do not Join the
league the latter viii be all right with six
clubs The half dozen already in line are
good ones. and IL viii he quite a surprise
if they DO not all do wei.
At present everything looks very encour-
aging indeed for the new league, and Il is
70 be hoped that it viii receive all the help
possible. Regarding the Wheeling fran
chise. President Power declined 10 allow
any person to have a franchise unless Mr..
No-eland was fairly dealt with. Mr.. Nc
Kee cheerfully agreed TO this. President
p. j. Powers. Of the Eastern League Will
represent the Interstate League at to-
morrow's meeting.

The Wheeling fans" have grown accus-
toned 10 surprises during the dickering
over the local management OF the Inter
State club. and It is about time the matter
was definitely settled one way or another.
Tt is not settled yet. as Mr. Moreland will
not tamely submit TO being summarily
ousted from the management after de-
voting his time and money to the project.

really the most Important matter. Base
ball is a clean sport. it advertises a
city. and there should not be any OBJ
lection to the game from any source,
but on the contrary it should be encour-
aged by business men and others.
Aiessrs. Wright, Moreland ct al, will
probably find a way out of their pres
ent difficulty this week. at least the
fans" hope So.

IL has been a very eventful week in
bowling circles. a week OF genuine sur
prises. The Museee players have again
torn things wide open. The Brown
les. who have established so many new
records during the present tournament.
surpassed all former efforts in the
series with the Muses.. In the last
game the Brownies rolled up an aggre-
gate of LAO pins. breaking the best
previous score by any team. with near
~ 100 pins 20 spare. After the third
frame they bowled at a 1 $50 gait, only
threee men breaking in seven frames.
Could the Linden Groves duplicate this
performance? tt is doubtful The
Brownies averaged over 900 pins each
game. No phenomenal individual
strings were made. but all the players
bOwled in a sure and steady manner.
The other games in this tournament
during the week were not out of the or
binary. The principal contest in the
South Side League was between the
Harvests and Mail Pouches. Friday
night. The latter team had a great
deal TO gain by winning. but they could
not make the rifle. They succeeded in
taking the first game by a scratch. but
could not show front in the remaining
two. These victories take the Harvests
ont OF the doubtful column. and prac-
tically clinch that teams hold on the
championship. JEPWORTH.
