Jack Glasscock. the Wheeling playes
held under reserve BY the st, Paul club
Of the Western League. had a. talk
with To-reyson yesterday afternoon.
and was given figure on the club.
which Torreyson said he would sell
Yesterday or to-day, the purchaser to
take his chances on getting grounds. II
the grounds question ID settled tonight,
OF course he will not sell out. He offer
ed the franchise and players to Glass
cock for 1000; or the franchise and all
the players with the exception, OF Bill
TAILOR and Bradley. for $500. Glasscock
would like to buy the club II he could
get his release from Comiskey, but so
FAR he has met with q fiat refusal from
the St. Paul magnate, and Jack him
self hasn't great hope OF being able TO
get away. Glasscock also made a prop,
ositioa TO take half the club ownership.
Torreyson retaining the other half, but
this was not received with favor.
Torreysoa says he does not want to
take the Wheelings to another town,
but IL he cannot get grounds he may
have 10 pursue that course. However,
just 10 show. the local public that he
does not intend to give the town 4
throw down, he will sell out on the
terms mentioned above to-day TO any
one who wishes to bug. II no purchaser
appears, and he Is unable to get
grounds, Torreyson says he will take
the club 20 Terre Haute, Indiana, where
Se has been offered excellent induce
ments. He knows, though, that Terre
HaYte is not 4 good ball town. and de-,
sires. IL 1t Is al all possible, to remain
In Wheeling and give the town a team
tha; will merit the support give to old
time Wheeling teams that deserved
good patronage.
Mr.. Torreyson said last night that the
Western Leagues action in admitting
Des Moines and leaving Grand Rapids
out in the cold, makes 1t certain that the
Interstate league can place club in
the Michigan town. It Is possible Tor
reyson will look at Grand Rapids care
fully before locating In Terre Haute il
