BASE BALL BRIEFS.
Wheeling is having its share OF tough
! luck with the weather. The club has lost
an opportunity TO make considerable
money by the postponement Of their sun
day games.
A rumor was in circulation last night.

springfeld. that Wheeling lost the game

formed.
Manager. Strobel. of Toledo. has signed
John Blue and short stop McNichols.
James A. Brady. Corbett's manager Is
arranging for the appearance of Gentle
man jim i'm a number of games through
o,1t the country. Jim" will play first
base. and is relied upon as being strong
drawing card. In order 10 play. it would
be necessary for him to sign regular
contract with each club. and be released
Immediately after the game. Brady has
ALREADY made proposition TO Toledo.
Pitcher Joe Corbett thinks that Is IS
an unlucky number. That wonderful
Young pitcher lost his first game yester-
dsv 10 Cincinnati lie has pitched Is
games in the National league and has won
Z of them.
Manager Torreyson says the. talk about
him wanting to trade Chic Cargo is
without foundation i'm fact. He would
not exchange this brilliant little player for
any third baseman I'm the league.

The Interstate race grows more and
more interesting daily. Mansfield and
YOUNGSTOWN are tied for tail-end honocs,
Yet the race is so close that If either wins
six games and New Castle loses six. the
tail-euders will become leaders, while
three games will place either club in sec
ora place if Wheeling ;oses an equal
number If Wheeling loses to-day's game,
the home club may drop from second to
sixth place and he tied with Springfield
for that position. The Yanegans>h had
everything their own way until they
struck Wheeling ard Toledo. but have lost
five of the last eight games played
Every club is fairly in the race, and this
fact will make all put up the best article
Of base ball of which they are capable
If Youngstown and Mansfield win to-day
and Toledo makes II three straight from
New Castle, there will be a difference of
but 5o5 points between leaders and tall
onGers. There was never a prettier or
closer race in any league ever organized.
