son why the arrangement should not

my presence at Carson city, gave Cor

1t is a matter Of local pride that the
Benwood Building & Loan Association

NEW YORK. Dec. 29-Dan Stuart,
who managed the Fltzslmmons- Corbett
bouts successfully, said to-day that he
would leave for the west and hoped that
he would secure the signatures % both
Fitzslmmons and Corbett to articles of
agreement for ring contest which he
proposes to bring off next summer, prob
ably in the state OF Nevada, He said
that as matters stand now, he does not
anticipate any trouble in getting Corbett
to sign and he Is equally hopeful OF gain
ing the consent OF FitzsImmons to meet
the big Californian in the ring once
more. Just what the amount Of the
purse which he would offer would be. Mr..
Stuart refuses to say
Mr.. stuart would Ike TO have the con-
test take place no. earlier than next
July and said that he would like 10 ar
range Il meeting between kid" Mccoy
and Choynsh or some good middle
weight to take place IN the week Of the
Corbett -Fltzslmmons bout. If he can
succeed In making arrangements for both
contests, Stuart said he would offer eX-
cellent inducements for the winners Of
both these bouts to meet six months
later. so that In the event Of Mccoy and
FitEsimmons winning they could settle
their differences n6 to their respective
powers by the year 1898. Mr. Stuart win
he In Chicago next week and said 1t
would be no fault Of his II the big fellows
did not come 10 an agreement.

SPORTING Editor Intelllgencer,
sIR:-I take pleasure In writing You
to-day to inform you that l now be-
lieye everything will be o. X. for us to
get the Wheeling matter settled in a
few days. I received word from the
street car company that 1t would GER
tainly do all It could for US, and as It
has always said 1t would help US, It
now seems about settled that Wheeling
will be strictly in It. They state that
one OF their reasons for delay has been
that the full plans OF the new Belle Isle
resort have not been made and our To-
cation there Is not yet settled, But
they assured me that they have ar
engagements made for grounds that will
be almost as well situated as Belle Isle
park, should anything turn up to keep
US from locating there,
You, OF course, understand that the
question OF suitable grounds Is the only
thing between Wheeling and the Inter-
state league. ! have before stated that
we want grounds where the players
will have chance to show their abll-
tiles and We also want u grand stand
that will give It's patrons a good View OF
the game and a comfortable seat,
have seen statements at different
times IN different papers, saying that
Jack Glasscock and Sammy Nichols and
other parties are after the franchise,
Now you might state that no one has
approached US regarding Its purchase,
aud It may be blum TO save reduc-
ton Of salary II either OF the men said
It, which hardly believe they have.
The franchise could have been secured
very cheap OF late, on account OF the
uncertainty OF getting grounds. The
franchise belongs Jointly to Armor
Ydungman and myself, hut am 60 own
II personally II we get located in
Wheeling, as am to trade my Dayton
interests and obtain the Wheeling fran
chIse, individually.
One OF the delays in settling about
Wheeling is the desire to get perma-
nently located. Every year that
Wheeling has come into this league 1t
has not been settled until March that
they were 10 be a member and then
they come In with flourish and you
would have thought they had the PEN
.nant won before they started.
Now the Interstate league Is organ
ized on the five year plan and wish TO
locate In Wheeling on the same plan.
No one year squirt for me. believe 1
have the ability and experience to en-
able me to place 4 team In Wheeling
that will win the confidence and respect
OF all the patrons.
Special Efforts will be made to give a
team that will be credit to the city. I
cannot at present readily give you a
list Of players signed. but In week or
two, when l get ground matters fully
settled | viii keep you informed fully
as to the players signed.
hope that nothing viii turn up to
interfere with the arrangements / now
believe to be about completed.

IN THE OIL FIELDS.

Greene county has a checkered record
so far as It applies to Its developments
In oil for the past year. All efforts to
open new pools have been succession
OF dlsappolntments. First the Gray's
Landing developments, then the Fon-
ner pool and now the Graysvllle devel-
opment promises no better results. An
occasional fairly good well is not sufll-
Client guarantee in territory where so
much capital is involved in testing Its
qualities. 1t he's been theory quite
generally favored that a connecting link
OF producing territory would be found
between Graysvllle and Bristorla, pay
ing producers having been found at
both places. II was on this hypothesis
that the South Penn oil Company start
ed Its well on the Il. Jacobs farm, loca-
ted west of direct line, and midway
between the two points. This was re-
Earded as an important test and has
now been drilled deeper into the sand
and is pronounced rank failure.

President Watkins that Padden will be
with the team next season, says the
Pittsburgh News. That brings down the
race for place to first base, third base and
left field, with the chances leaning to-
ward the conclusion that even those
places have Deen virtually decided UD-
less Camel at first, Gray at third, and
o'Hagan In left, fail to come up TO the
standard they will fill the positions
named, so that the makeup OF the regu-
lar playing aggregation will be Camel,
Padden, Ely, Gray, Donovan, Mccarthy
and o'Hagan. Padden and Ely, the only
old members Of the infleld, are the only
players of the whole team who did not
hit above 200 last year. In hitting, Nc
carthy and Gray were easily the leaders,
with SO and .352, respectively. Every
body knows, however, that last year
Padden had an Off spell in batting, while
Ely was at disadvantage because OF
bad health during almost the entire sea-
son. There seems to be Just one "lf'' to
the prospects OF 1893, and that is the bat
ting Of the minor leaguers, though good
ness knows they could not do worse than
the old-tlmers during the larger portion
of the playing year OF 1897.
