Starr and Prince WIZ Arrive In wheel
Ing to-Dny-Tho Toledo Man, Says tho
Franchise Was Awarded Him Two
Weeks Ago by ylea President Watts. N
The base bah situation has not been
materially changed since Sunday night.
The visit OF President Prince to Wheel.
ing. which It was believed would occur
yesterday. has been postponed until to-
day, when there seems no doubt but that
the franchise for Wheeling will DO final.
~ awrdcd to some one. "a telegram TO
the Intelllgencer from President Prince
received yesterday morning, stated that
Mr.. Starr, the Toledo applicant for the
locnl franchise, had arrived in Coshoc-
ton. and that Prince and Starr, would
come to Wheeling this morning. It APP
pears therefore. that to-day will bring
about q solution of the franchise mud
die; 1t will be awarded to Starr or BUGGY,
and In the event that the former re-
ceives It he will probably become asso-
ciated with well known business man,
thus doing away with the outsider cry
which has been sprung by an evening
paper. 2, I. if59.. & ~ ii
In letter to the Intelllgenccr, Mr..
Starr states that the franchise was
awarded him two weeks ago by Vice
President Watts, Just after the Massil-
lon meeting of the Ohio state league.
Starr. then supposed that everything was
settled and proceeded with the work Of
signing players. Consequently. he was
disagreeably surprised when he learned
that President Prince had agreed to
award the franchise TO Bucey and
Prtchard. He lost no time in going 10
,Coshocton. arriving there yesterday. He
says he would have attended the Maesll-
Ion meeting In person but for the fact
that Watts stated that he would attend
to his Interests at that gathering. Starr
adds that he has already conditonally
signed several promising players. and Is
paying especial attention to their repu-
tations for personal conduct, realizing
that nothing hurts a club more than
rowdy actions by players on or of the
field. n 5.44i55
The news from Springfield last night,
when the particulars of the trouble OF
that club were learned. did not change
the local situation, 1t being understood
that the purchasers OF the Ohio team
will keep 1t In Springfield. E :;
Messrs. BUGGY and Pritchard state
that they have not discontinued their
efforts TO secure encouragement from
local fans, and will oppose the granting
OF the franchise to Starr, after It has
been given them. However. they did not
know that Starr had the franchise
granted 70 him by Vice President Watts
just after the Massillon meeting. so that
the Toledo man apparently has an ear
lier claim than theirs.
