BASE BALL.

Jack Glasscock and his bat should do
duty in the National League i'm 1891. His
batting percentage in the Western League
last season was .434. and in 1S5 games he
made 263 hits. or an average Of close on
two hits game. Such a record, if made
by a young player. would make him IA
nous and his services would be sought
by every National League magnate.
Western League players say that Glass
cocks arm is as good as it ever was. and
many Of them found out in trying TO take
liberties with him in attempting to go TO
third or home on hits toward first.
pebble Jack cannot be excelled as an
emergency hitter and he is never affected
by the nervousness which handicaps the
youngsters in their first year in fast COM
pany. Had President Johnson promul-
gated the averages of the Western League
before the expiration of the drafting
period. it is more than probable that the
veteran would have been drafted. What
is $500 for player Of the Glasscock type?
Comiskey has certainly shown good judy
ment in securing veterans like Glasscock
and Mullane for his ST. Paul team.-Sport-
ing News.
It is believed that Smith Whaley would
have liked to play in a Wheeling uniform.
but he has signed with Patterson. and
will have to go TO that city. Whaley will
he back at his old position on second base.
In a letter to a Wheeling friend. he states
that he practices daily in a gymnasium,
and will be in good shape when the sea-
son opens.
The following comes from Sisters
Vile: Now that spring is nearly upon
us is it proper to ask whether or not
this city will afford a base ball club ?
Some of the players who were on the
roster of last years organization are
yet located here, and seem anxious
that a club be organized, giving as
their reason that we possess good
ball park. grounds. etc, and anyone
taking charge of the club would not
be compelled to lay out any money
for these purposes, but can get the
use Of them for a small sum of money,
for the season. The lovers of this
sport, and their name is legion. are
anxious to see a club here this year.
Lovers of base ball may be compelled
to go out of town to see the game
and they will do it, too. Let us have
one of our own, and whollop Parkers-
hurg and Marietta again"
A novel idea has been suggested In
connection with the location of the
base ball park on the Giles property,
on North Huron street, an idea which,
if carried out. would be mutually bene-
fetal to the management and the play
ers. On the property is the Giles resi-
dence. which it is proposed to fit up as
residence and club house for the play
ers. 1t is admirably adapted to the
purpose, is large and roomy. 1t is ar
gued that this would keep the players
at home by providing sufficient attrac-
tions. 1t is not known that either the
management or the owner of the house
has considered the matter but the idea
is worthy of consideration.

stock much dealt in at the Boston ex-

opinion was to the contrary. and the
sequel has borne him out as both the
