WHEELING SHUT OUT.
There is No Vacancy in the Inter
State League.
THIS FACT WAS DEMONSTRATED
AT THE MEETING HELD AT
NEW CASTLE YESTERDAY.
GLASSCOCK AND NICHOLS
HAD THEIR MONEY READY,
AND WE'RE ACTING IN GOOD
FAITH, BUT GOT COLD COM
FORT.

The Interstate League meeting, long
looked forward to with considerable in
terest by lovers of the game in this
city, was held yesterday afternoon at
New Castle.
The meeting was held at the Hotel
Pierce, and was presided over by Pre-
sident Powers. All the clubs were re-
presented except Fort Wayne, whose
delegate came in at the last, just in
time to shut out Wheeling from becom-
ing a mer1ber of the league.
Wheeling had representatives present
in the persons of ". B. Howell, who is
acting for himself, and Messrs. Jack
Glasscock and Sammy Nichols, repre-
senting a little syndicate Of business
men with abundant backing to make
the affair a go had they gotten the
franchise.
Mr.. Howell wa first called before the
assembled magnates, Fort Wayne being
unrepresented, and made his PROPOSE
ton, which was listened to with atten
ton, but without especial comment, as
far as could be ascertained. Then
Glasscock and Nichols were called in,
and they stated their case, TO the effect
that they were acting in good faith and
intended to have good ball played here,
and il addition submitted the following
proposition and agreement:
"We the undersigned, hereby agree
to deposit $500 with the Wheeling Title
and Trust Company as an evidence Of
good faith should we be granted a
franchise in the Interstate League Of
professional base ball clubs, the money
to be deposited when the franchise is
given, and payment subject to the or
der of the Board of Directors of said
League.

HICKMAN TO BE EARNED.

Boston, Mass, February 14-Manager
selee, of the Boston base ball club. Will
farm out Pitcher Hickman this year at
the instruction of the directors. BY the
boards direction Selee will give Outfelder
Frisbie a trial this year, although he had
intended leaving him at Kansas City for
another year. George Yeager. who gave
promise of great pitching last year up TO
the time when he broke his hand, will be
retained this year, as the directors believe
he is better thar any twirler they could
get in his place. An offer was received
by the Boston club from Washington to
sell Farrell for. 500, but it was uncere-
moniously turned down.

INTERSTATE NOTES.

Something is likely to happen to the
circuit of the Interstate League at the
meeting at New Castle this Tuesday.
Manager Strobel will leave for the
meeting tomorrow and while he would
no say so emphatically, he insinuated
that some town will be forced to drop
GU and make way for the admission
of Wheeling. Presumably Springfield
will be the city selected, as it is con-
sidered of the weakest cities in the

by the Nets is to have Oscar Gardner
and Jack O'Brien meet here some time
in March. AS Gardner went out Of his
class to meet O'Brien at Youngstown
Monday night it is thought nothing
more than fair to ask O'Brien to come
to 125 pounds, which would be more on
the line of equality.

NEVER FADING BLACK DYES.
Diamond Dyes Make Colors That Never
Crock.
Clothing Of All Kinds Easily Dyed
at Home.

There are three kinds of fast Black
Diamond Dyes, one for wool, one for
cotton and mixed goods, and a third
for silk and feathers. All of these dyes
are specially prepared for home use
and are guaranteed to make colors that
will never fade or crock and that can
not be washed out in strong soapsuds.
The reliability of the fast black Dia-
mond Dyes has given them the largest
sale of all dyes. Be sure to get the Dia-
mond if you wish to color black, for no
other dyes equal them in simplicity in
use and fastness of color.

Abbott, whom it is desired to match
with Leslie Pierce, is said to be some
thing of an Oscar Gardner fighter in
style and tact with a good supply of
old 'Hinglish pluck and strong punches
at his command. Pierce's ability in
the same direction needs no comment
where he is known, and both as club
manager and a star performer inside
the ropes he has shown much clever
ness. He has already fought a draw
with the Providence man, which will
only augment interest in the present
go.

WATER BACKING UP.

The gorge at Glendale must be a
very solid one, for all day yesterday
the water was backing up very rapid
ly. At midnight the marks showed 10
feet of water in the channel. There
are many boats with their lows moored
all along the river that cannot possibly
escape damage when the ice flows out.

'SAMUEL NICHOLS.'
This was received very favorably by
certgin of the representatives present,
notably by Charles Strobe, of Toledo,
w. R. Armour. of Dayton, and the
New Castle representative. and for a
time it looked pretty bright for
Wheeling. Mr.. Torreyson, of the
Grand Rapids team, who will be re-
membered painfully by local ball en-
thusiasts, however, voiced a violent
objection to this city, saying, among
other things, that it was not IA base ball
town and was no goo3 generally.
These remarks by ~ Gorreyson came
with peculiar ba@grace, considering
how he was handdd things ON a silver
salver while he was fooling around
here with a somewhat transparent
bluff, and is a poor rsturn for many
kindnesses shown him. strobel anc
Armour stood up well for Wheeling,
however, and things we've coming our
way a bit when I. Mant1er, the Grand
Rapids man, showed upI just at the
wrong moment. Ten minutes later
Wheeling would probably have been
admitted, but with all the towns rep
resented there was no show, and the
news was gently broken to the Wheel
ing delegation. In the meeting Byrne,
Of Mansfield, ably seconded the
knock of Torryson against Wheel
ing, sarcastically asking Glasscock if
he and his friends were ''in the game
to make money" Jack responded,
''Ck, no; we're in it for u health"
II After the meeting was over Presi-
y dent Powers told the Wheeling boys
that the money deposit called for need
not be made good until March LIST, and
intimated that some one might fail to
come to time then, in which event
Wheeling would stand something bet

would be no money in the game after
paying such an entrance fee, and no
one knows this better than Glasscock

with the situation, but still willing to
go in if an opening should present it.

T%orryson, to whom every facility and
courtesy was shown IN his late star
ring tour here. He appears to be pos
sessed of a very apparent streak Of
Spanish. Glasscock and Nichol mean
business, and have from the first, and
the turning down they got was one not
particularly relished. The situation
must remain unchanged, however, un-
til March 1st, at least.
The season will o be quite so long
as that of last year, as only lao games
will be played. The season will begin
May LIST and close between the 18th and

Strobel and Torryson were appointed
a committee to arrange the schedule,
and they were instructed to make their
report at the spring meeting.

Pierce, the well known referee of the

LOCAL BOXING.

Lovers of the manly sport here will
be pleased to observe the renewed eff
forts of the Metropolitan club to fur
nish some good attraction for the local
patrons of the ring. For some months
quiet has reigned in Wheeling pugilis-
tic circles, and the management think
the opportunity ripe for action On their
part. In fact, the Nets have already
been casting about, and if indications
are not misleading they will be able
within a few days or weeks to arrange
for a mill that will, in the language Of
the talent, be a peach" A good deal
of correspondence has lately been ex-
changed in an effort to secure a
match between either Jack Daily or
Charley Burns, and Leslie PIERCE, but
thus far it has been no go, and atten-
ton has been turned in other direc-
tons. But there are Others" and the
Nets have already struck upon a man
that they think will fill the bill.
