BASE Ball SEASON CLOSES.
Toledo Walks Off With the Interstate
League Pennant,
While Wheeling is First in the
Standing, Starting at the Tail
End-Results of Yesterdays Ball
Games Bowling M TT 8.
Matthews Gets the Decision.
Other Sporting Matters. \

The games to-day and tomorrow will
wind up the scheduled season in the
Interstate base ball league. Toledo is
in undisputed possession of first place
and New Castle is a good second. No
two papers publish the standing OF
clubs alike, and only the official stand
ing will show the percentage OF the
different teams. Toledo and New Cas-
tie will play a series of games for the
cup offered by the Cincinnati firm.
The season has been profitable for
about half the clubs and the others
have lost money. New Castle started
off witha big lead and might have won
the pennant if the season had been di-
vided. The sale Of Hickman to Bos-
ton seriously crippled the Yanegans.
It was a most unsatisfactory season
from a Wheeling standpoint, and the
local team winds UP an easy winner OF
tail end honors Manager Torreyson
has done very we'll with the club, and
now has good lot of players under
contract, several Of whom will no
doubt be found on the pay rolls next
season. All have been reserved, but
this does not necessarily mean that
they will play here next year.
Indeed, it is a question whether
there will be an Interstate club here
next season, as Manager Torreyson
wants Sunday town. There are at
least two different parties, however,
who are not only willing, but anxious
10 place club here next season in the
event that Torreyson decides to go
elsewhere. The Wheeling team will
disband Saturday, but resident Wheel
ing players may arrange one or two
exhibition games with National Lea
que clubs.

Through the long halls and up the winding
stairs Otto went, mounting three steps at a
jump. Fearlessly through the clouds OF smoke
and cinders lie made his way till he reached
the foot of the flagstaff, high up on the cupols
Of the building.
Hundreds of eyes were fixed upon him as he
seized the rope and pulled Old Glory down.
and cheers from hundreds of Threats sent up
their braves as no lOosened the flag from the
pulieys, and, throwing the cOl0rs over his
shoulders, made his way to the skylight and
began his descent.
But there WAS one more duty for him to per.
form before he carried his trophy to a place
OF safety. On his way through the burning
building he heard voices in one Of the rooms.
He pushed the door open, aud found two of
the teachers laughing and chatting over their
luncheon, quite unconscious of their danger.
Hurry up" Otto shouted, 1.-The buildings

he plunged down the steps.
