A Report That Torreyson Will
Transfer the Local Franchise to
Bay City, Mich.--Some Silly Talk
by Campbell, Maher, Quinn ct al.
O'Leary Challenges Farragher.

Special to the Register.
Springfield, Ohio, November 5.-The
information was given out here to-day
by President Nelson, Of the Springfield
base ball club, of the Interstate league,
that Manager Frank Torreyson, of the
Wheeling club, had practically decided
to transfer the franchise to Bay City,
Mich, which is good ball town, and
which will permit Sunday games. One
reason he has for leaving Wheeling is
that he can secure a valuable grounds
only at a great deal of expense, such as
putting up grand stand, fence, and so
on.
1t is added that he is after the Fort
Wayne franchise and that if he can Sc
cure it he will transfer it to Saginaw,
only eight miles from Day City. He
figures that by owning two franchises
he would make great money, as there
is a strong rivalry between the two
towns. Saginaw is also favorable to
Sunday ball.

FEW MEASUREMENTS
Made by Campbell and His Clique in
Pittsburg.

Louden Campbell dropped into the
newspaper offices in Pittsburg and had
himself interviewed. To one he told
how easy Stelzer was, and to another
announced his intention to retire from
the ring. No spectator at Wednesday
nights contest will say that Stelzer was
easy. He had very decided advantage
in the third round, and in the early
part of the fourth round. The mix-up
between the men was simply smuggling
match, and it became case CT pure
luck. Both forget their science and
struck wildly. That Campbell happen
ed to connect with Stelzer IN one of his
wild swings does not argue his super
iority over Buck"
Campbell states that only two or
four men Kissed Maher. Campbell
knows this is a deliberate falsehOOd.
Half the audience was Missing and
many others were calling him "thief."
Campbell would have to get out a
search warrant and place it in the
hands of a very vigilant officer to find
one man in Wheeling who will c0m-
mend Maher for his course. The only
wonder is that he was not assaulted.
Peter Maher has done more to injure
the Metropolitan Club than any ten
men. If to love fair play is to merit
the term cheap sports then the
Wheeling spectators plead guilty to the
charge which Maher is pleased to make
But Peter got his price, and it was
good stiff price, too. If he will say
that he earned it, his colossal cheek
will make him a fit subject for a dime
museum.
His rapid calculation was not Peters
only fault. He favored his managers
protege all through the contest. Once
he parted the men when they were not
clinched. In the fourth round he part
ed them by pulling Stelzer roughly
away from his opponent. In Stelzer's
condition this greatly weakened him.
He allowed Campbell to stand over his
opponent when he was down, and TO
rush at him before he was fairly on his
feet. StelZer would have taken ad-
vantage of the ten seconds the first
time he was down but for the fact that
he was afraid Maher would count him
out unfairly. Stelzer has wonderful re-
Operative powers, and if he had secur-
ed the minutes rest to which he was
entitled, he would have been as fresh as
his opponent at the beginning of the
fifth round.

If the above report be true, and it is
at least strongly probable, it is but an
other evidence that outside control of
sport in Wheeling kills the sport. The
connection of Ed. Barrows and the
Coyles, with professional base ball in
Wheeling, hurt the interest in the Ma
tional game. The deal by which Frank
Torreyson secured control of the fran
chise, was not a movement looking to
the best interests of the game in Wheel
ing. or of the Interstate league. Local
parties made a much more attractive
offer than Torreyson, backed up with
cold cash, and were turned down be-
cause, forsooth, Torreyson had been
promised the first vacancy.
Torreyson is a good base ball man
ager, and he received proper treatment
at the hands of the public. The pat
ronage was even better than he had a
right to expect under the circumstances.
He lost less money than he expected
Conditions are now favorable in THIS
city, yet Torreyeon proposes to transfer
ton before he departed from the city,
because he cannot play Sunday games
in Wheeling. Mr.. Torreyson has a
right to manage a team where he
pleases. There can be no complaint up
on this score, but the Wheeling public
has not been treated properly.
1t remains to be seen whether the
Interstate Board will sanction the
transfer. The Michigan cities make big
railroad jumps, their weekday attend
ance is very poor, and it is a question
as to whether the Sunday games will
offset these disadvantages. Wheeling
has applicants for the franchise, who
are experienced base ball men, who will
furnish the capital, and who will pro-
vide a team which will be the last to
drop from the circuit. Give them the
franchise, and base bail in Wheeling
will be a success, as the public Will
have confidence in the management.
