BASE BALL COMMENT.

To the Sporting Editor OF the Register.
Sir:-I write you a few lines to call
your attention to the good ball the
club has commenced to play. We
should have won at least three games
at New Castle last week, and to-day's
game should have been ours by a score
Of l to O. only for two unfortunate
errors. We have released no one ex-
cept Robinson and Smith. Robbie"
was not we'll and his batting was not
up to his usual standard and his field
ing was very slow. / have secured
Miller, crack outfielder, and Shay,
good infelder, and before two days
expect to report the engagement Of
an excellent inielder from the At
lantic League. l have also secured
that excellent hard-hitting catcher,
Henry Cate, who was with Louisville
couple of years ago, and who has
been playing with the Houston, Tex,
team the last two years. He will re-
port here on Thursday.
l notice that Pittsburg papers have
il reported that Riesling has been
released, but such is not the case, as
he pitched yesterday for us at Canton,
o., in an exhibition game, which we
won to 3. We also won another
exhibition game at Sharon, Pa, on
Friday, to 0, Campbell and Garvey
pitching half of the game each.
1 notice a little criticism on our
letting certain players go, but am sure
Wheeling wants a better club than she
has had, and am confident that when
our team meets Dayton next Monday
that you will be satisfied with its abil-
ity, as l know it will be improved won
derfully. l personally expect to be in
Wheeling Wednesday of Thursday.
While we are not winning, it is not
saying the club is not strong. Shay,
the new third baseman, is a conner
and will strengthen the team. Thay-
er Torreyson is putting up good game
at first and batting very we'll Miller,
the new outielder, is fast and a good
hitter. Donehoe, the catcher signed
some time ago, has not been able to
report yet, but expects to be here by
next Thursday. He is said to be
good one, and is quite batter. Refs
ling may not be with us very long,
as he is thinking Of joining Wallace's
circus and going South. His brother
is with the circus, so we expect to
lose him any day. We are negotiating
for a good left-handed pitcher, who
is said TO be a coming star.

ran to his assistance. He got KeIz
just as he was going out the rear door
OF the saloon. Brannen pursued Kelz
through the saloon and fired two
shots inside. Kelz was Immediately
taken to the Emergency Hospital,
where. Dr. Mcdonald, assisted by DR..
Alley, extracted the two bullets that
had lodged in Kelz's body. One had
entered the right shoulder and had
lodged in the neck. The other had
gone in under the right arm and was
taken out on the left side.
DR.. Mcdonald stated last night that
Kelz was not in serious condition
and would recover. Officer Brennen's
head was in a pitable condition from
the effects Of the terrible assault made
upon him alta time when it was entire
lv unexpected. Brannen is commend
ed on all sides for bringing down his
man. as the assault on him was most
cowardly and unprovoked. Kelz is a
son of a former sheriff Of Marshall
county. who is one Of the best and
most respected citizens of the county.
