/ will then be able 10 lay out money TO
such an extent that you viii have one
OF the greatest clubs that ever repre-

am aware that you have had some Won

sThe Dayton club has lost two Of its
strongest players by the draft and It
looks as IL they will lose couple more,
and that, of course, will weaken them
somewhat and they will have hard
work to fill the vacancies. am trying
to make deal at the present time for
a couple OF players who will be big
cards in Wheeling. One is noted coll
lege player who would play at short
stop, and the other Is a catcher now
with a National league club.
Hoping to see you and all the rest
OF the boys when come to Wheeling,
l remain yours very truly,

sIR:-I am endeavoring to get hold of
few players whom know wifi
strengthen the club, All of my last
years team Is reserved but only ex-
pect to use four or five of them, Moth
ing has yet been done regarding
grounds, but 1t is my Impression that
there VIII be no trouble to make ar
rangements when 1 come to Wheeling,
which will be before the 2Sd. We may
possibly lose Billy Campbell, as heard
that there was possibility of West
ern league clug drafting him. i hope
such Is not the case, as | believe him
to be one Of the best pitchers In the
Interstate league and with a good club
behind him he Will lose very few games.
Donahue Is sure to be one of the catch
ers and Taylor will be on third unless
some trade Of big advantage is made.
Pitcher Lucas is another that is pretty
sure to hold his job. Outside of these
men ! cant say who viii be on the
team, as can't tell Just who will be
BE PLAYED; / WILL ONLY HAVE
BALL PLAYERS WHO WILL WORK
HARD FOR THE CLUBS INTEREST
AND WHO WILL AT ALL TIMES BE
GENTLEMEN.
AS soon as l get my arrangements
made for grounds will proceed to get
all the players signed 10 regular con
tracts.
Justice and Bradley are .wo more
players who are good ones and will
most likely be on the team next year.
1t is my intention to move my family
to Wheeling as soon as grounds are
secured. and then l will boom matters
regarding the club.
The prospects of the league look very
bright and observe that President N.
II. Young remarked at Philadelphia last
week that the Interstate league gave
him less trouble than any other in the
country and he believed 1t to be one of
the most successful.
In my eyes Wheeling has always
been a good base ball town, but every
team they have had in the last eight
years with one eXceptIop) lost money
/ do not want to have that experience
the coming season, and therefore | ex-
pect to take my time In getting the
right location and want to be sure to
get ground that will be big enough to
play on, as / think without plenty of
room for all the players to show their
ability that a game is robbed Of half
its attractlveness.
Next year there will be some good
clubs, as nearly every club in the
league will be strengthened, and as
Wheeling was tail ender. 1t viii have
to be strengthened more than any of
the others to enable 1t to stand well in
the race
l do not say that I will give you n
pennant winner, but I will give you a
club that no person In the city Will be

A year ago the Rambler set the pace
for low prices in 1897, by announcing
their wheel at $50. This week they have
come out with $50 at the masthead for
1898 wheels, and $50 for the 1897 wheels
left over. This will no doubt be the
standard price for 1898 wheels on chain
mounts, but the price for chalnless
wheels will be away up. 500 and $125.

Speaking OF the chainless wheel, Il Is
not likely 1t will attain popularity In this
section. on account OF che rough an,
billy roads The vibration and strain
are largely taken up In the chain of ths
present style wheels, but In the chalnless
Il works itself through the cog mechan-
Ism largely TO Its injury and wear. This,
with the tremendous difference In price,
will likely give the chain wheel lease
of life in Wheeling, at least until the
chainless reaches a state approaching
perfection. AT any rate. the evils Of the
chain are more In fancy than in fact, and
the new style Of construction has beer
brought about through the desire of
makers OF wheels to create a large sale
of new wheels through discarding of old

FOOT BALL.

The practice of the University of
Pennsylvania football eleven yester-
day was In secret, and lasted for an
hour and half George Woodruff gain
ed much Information on his trip to
Cambridge, last Saturday, and yester-
day afternoon made practical use of
this knowledge. Before the practice
started he spoke of the game between
Harvard and Yale, explaining the diff
ferent plays and telling the men what
to expect. After this talk, the Varsity
went through half hours signal work,
In which they rehearsed different sets
OF signals and practical for new forma-
lions, Then they lined up against the
scrub for nearly an hour. The Varsity
played a good game and scored three
touch downs and field goal. The
physical condition of the team, barring
Dickson, right, and Weeks, quarter
back, Is excellent. Dlckson's injured
knee will in all likelihood, keep him out
Of the Harvard game, while Weeks
complaint is a weak stomach, which Is
coming around all risht, and will not
prevent him from playing, Hedges will
takes DIckson's place next Saturday,
with Boyle at the outer end, The latter
was In the lineup Monday for the first
time since the Brown game and played
his usual fine game. The Varsity team
will be taken away probably on We'd

The Swiss Army.

The Swiss army is complete in every
detail, it is said, the medical. veter-
mary and commissariat departments be-
ing thoroughly organized, and this in
spite Of the fact that the average cost of
a soldier is only 81 a year. The first
line forces number an effective total of
1877, GAO men; in the landwehr there
are so, 600 more, and in the landsturm
270, 00O. Besides, owing to the encour-
agement given by the state to such in
situations as the Societies de Tir, nearly
every man in the country knows how to
handle a rife and is more OF less Of q
soldier. Switzerland could at the short
est notice put into the field and main
tain an army of $50, 600 men at least,
properly found and equipped. When the
Swiss soldier crosses the threshold of
his house, he may be said to be in full
marching order, for he keeps his entire
kit. rife-knapsack and cloak-in his
home, and every man takes all honest
