BASE BALL COMMENT.

Manager TorreyFon, of the Wheeling
team, arrived in town yesterday even
Ing, and win remain the balance of the
week for the purpose of arranging for
the opening games on the home ground
next week. Mr.. Torreyson says the
team Is now playing a fast game, but
one or two other changes are yet to be
made. The impression that 'Bitl' Tay-
Tor has been released is erroneous, US
he has only been given a leave Of alb
sence OF a few days to undergo an ex-
animation at Pittsburgh before becom
Ing qualified as q drug clerk, The new
men, Shay and Donahue, are playing
fast bail, and the only weak spots In
the team are In pitching. Now that
Reisling has gone, Carney and Camp
bell are doing all the pitching, but Tor
reyson has q new man who will prob
ably be landed to-day.
It seems to have become general
belief in some Of the Interstate towns
that Torreyson's purchase OF the
Wheeling franchise Is not well received
by local patrons OF the game, This Is far
from the truth, for Torreyson's ability
Is generally recognized here, and the
base ball fans are exceedingly pleased
that the club Is In the hands Of man
who will give the town credttRbie
team. This assertion will find proof
next week. when the team begins two
weeks engagement on the home
grounds

The Hon. Green Majors spoke to and
for the Labor Exchange at the public
meeting held at Pythian Hall, 900 Market
street, yesterday afternoon.
He was introduced by J. S. Clark, the
State organizer of the exchange, who, in a
preliminary address, said the financial
system of States and nations of the world
was not merely responsible for the hard
times, b1t for all the mental and moral
obliquity of the world. This financial
system had wound Us up," and it was
the province and the mission of the Labor
Exchange to "unwind US" without regard
to politics or waiting for the heavy and
refractory machinery of the Government.
1T is a business matter" he said,
"wherein every man will, upon coming to
understand it, Immediately see it to his
interest to join with the movement.
Among the first great strides it will take
toward the emancipation of men is to re-
lieve them from the necessity of paying
rent"
He explained that this was to be ac-
complished through the building of
houses for the members, the start being
made through those who had land de-
posting it with the exchange.
man in the audience wanted to know
how this could be done. Suppose have
house built" he said, land not wishing
to occupy it myself and some other brother
does wish TO occupy it, would he not have
to pay rent?' ne inquired.
well, you know" said Clark. "we pro-
pose to build a house for the brother also.
Following the applause that this provoked
Clark explained that this could not be done
all at once.
There is not week passes, however"
be said, "but that some enterprise is begun
under the auspices of the exchange, some
industry started or some new avenue
opened up enlarging the horizon, the area
OF usefulness ana potency of the new sys-
tenn. Just In proportion as this growth
and development is made, so the exchange
acquires stability and the Labor Exchange
check extends its circle OF operation"
Another meeting will be held next Sun
day afternoon at the same place.
