NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE base bail
managers we're very tardy in getting to-
gether to-day, for the reconvening OF
the annual meeting. The question Of an
eight or ten club schedule TO take the
place of the twelve-club schedule now in
vogue will be one of the most Interesting
matters to be decided before the final
adjournment Of the meeting.

the purchase of the ST. Louis and Louis

nothing definite has been decided upon.
Louisville Is In the market and II the
League buys 1t the general impression is
that +. De Hass Robson, Of Cleveland,
will purchase the ST. Louis assets II they
are put up for sale, and Will then trans

would reduce the league TO ten clubs for
the coming season.
Then there are rumors that two other
clubs are TO be gottens rid OF and three
are mentioned, Brooklyn. Washington

be taken. Another scheme, and one

SPOR
BoWLING IN 1s0s.

Just FIVE years aGo this week. the
first bowling leagTe in Wheeling was
organized-the first league to be organ
ICED in any city west OF the Alleghenies,
and among the first outside of Greater
New York. For several years. the ten
pin game had been popular here in a
limited way, with the old-time narrow
ttwenty.nine inrh) alleys, running at
Wheeling Park Selberts Garden and
Fette's. The Mozart Park alleys were
built in the summer of 'ss. Several
bowling clubs were in the field, but there
were no tournament competitions.
Among the clubs were the Wheelings, at
Wheeling Park, and the Columblas, at
SelberSs, and later the South Sides, ut
Mozart Park.
In December, '93, steps were taken TO
organize a league, and It came into
existence at q meeting in the Wheeling
Press Club rooms, on December u, and
the first championship season started
few days later. DR.. W. b. Stathers,
now superintendent OF the state asylum
for the insane, at Weston was presi-
dent, and Paul o. Reymann vice-presi-
dent. The three existing clubs, Colum-
bIa, Wheeling and South Side, became
members OF the league, together With
the Wheeling Athletic Wheelmen. The
Bowlers, Calumets, Press Club and In
ielhgencers. The season that followed
has been called the most successful In q
social way ever experienced here.
South Sides won the championship,
with Columblas, WheellRgs and Intel
lIgencers following in the order named.
Of the bowlers who figured in the first
tournament ten-plns, not many are still
in the harness. OF the champion South
Sides only two, Gus" Narschner and
John Spefdel. are rolling now; those on
the retired list are Jack Wright, George
Hannah, Chris Vieweg, Charles Horst
mann, Philip Kurtz. Henry NH, Chas.
A. Bowers and DR.. Stathers.
1.-THE BoWlers" were commanded by
Admiral Sam 3. Harrison, and once In
a while they would put up game that
was heart breaking to opposing teams.
The entire outfit are on the retired
list, as follows: Bernie Mcclure, AM
brose List, Walker Frisseil. Sam Hez-
lett, Walter Bloomfield, VIII Day, Guy
Scott. Frank Craddock and Frank Ber-

IT IS RHG'.

We had thought the matter so
thoroughly understood that we had
deemed it unnecessary so far to ex-
press the preference of the NEW S
for the next Congressional candidate
of the party. Letters received
from several sources and apparently
in several interests give us pause, and
deserve a reply. We hope that
Judge Rhea will be our next stan
dard bearer for atleaSt three reasons.
the first of which is that he can be
elected. 1t seems little cold blood
ed to give as the second reason the
fact that he deserves the nomination,
but the vicissitudes of politics NAV
have given us an exaggerated idea
of expediency, and the conviction
that Rhea can easily carry the dis
trict, is uppermost, even when we
consider our third reason-his EN-.
inent fitness for the position. He
has been Il faithful and eloquent ex.
FOUNDER of Democratic doctrine.
He has never sulked and never lagg-
ed. No matter who has borne the
partys colors Rhea has been his
champion. A soldier who never
missed II campaign nor shirked Il
battle, has no better record. Hav-
ing participated in every canvass
in every county of the district he
understands thoroughly the situa-
ton, and that he has the courage
and tact to confront it, goes without
saying. For one other reason we
hope the Democrats of the Ninth
District will honor Rhea, and that is
that the honor would please him
UNNECESSARILY, and We would like to
see him pleased.

FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1898
THE SOUTH AND THE WAR.

An unregenerate and unrecon-
structed old rebel said the other day
that in case of war he hoped the
North would get its full share of it.
His only qualification of this rather
sectional utterance was that he hoped
its ravages would not extend as far
South as New York. His spleen
seems to be confined to the Yankee
States, and there may be others who
remember Sheridan, and Sherman
and Hunter, and Burbridge, who
share in the sentiment. 1t is vain
however to hope that the South
would escape its full share of the
struggle. Actual invasion is of
course out of the question, but we
have many exposed cities along our
extensive coast and the channel
between Key West and Havana is
narrow. A majority of the officers,
and perhaps of the enlisted men of
Admiral Sicards squadron are from
the South, and Southern people are
more impulsive than the people of
the North We would have more
volunteers i'll proportion than the
North and while our people were at
the front, the men of the North
would be cultivating the arts of
peace-and making money. We
don't disparage Northern people,
but simply warn our friends that
they will not escape the unpleasant
consequences of war, nor its rough
work. Its our time to fight now
also, for it appears from official
statistics as disclosed by the pension
debates in Congress that nearly all
our Northern friends incurred par
tial or total disability in the last
war.

COUNTY ROADS.

This is trite subject. Oceans of
ink and reams Iof paper have been
used in the vain attempt to teach the
people of Virginia that good roads
are blessing, and bad roads make
the people swear, One of the most
interesting psychological puzzles We
know is involved in the fact that of the
intelligent communities in the world,
the people of Virginia stand alone
IN their absolute indifference to the
value of roadways.
Communities less progressive in
other respects are "a hundred years
ahead of us in this particular,
and this fact is becoming so patent
and glaring that it is bringing us
into unenviable notoriety as a state
which practically discourages the
building of roads.
Of all the counties in the State Taze-
we'll is perhaps the richest, yet of all
the counties in the State it has the
most abominable, and atrocious
system of thoroughfares. Five hun
dred thousand dollars, which could
be borrowed at low rate of interest,
ludiciously used would add treble
that amount to the values of the
county and be carried without a bur-
densome increase in taxation.
