ERAL NEWS OF THE DIAMOND.

1t is too early yet to speculate with
prospects of definite fulfillment upon
base ball matters, but as the season
draws apace attention is being directed
to the national sport with no small de-
gree of interest. With local patrons
the part Wheeling is to have in the
game this year is topic uppermOst
in mind, and her chances for again en-
tering the Interstate League is a
fruitful subject for discussion. The
fact that the year has two mines to
start on is interpl eted that the season
Of go is to be a rusher on the
diamond and that Wheeling wants to
be in it good and strong is evidenced
by the activity that is developing
among the magnates here. There
seems to be no good reason why
Wheeling should not again assume her
old-time prominence in base ball mat
ters, while on the other hand there
are many arguments which goN TO
prove this city will be one of the mn
desirable members of the league if it

a ten-round contest at the Peoples thea
ter Cincinnati, on the 9th of this month.
The hitch was in regard to weights. Haley
insisted on 11S pounds at 8 o'clock the day
of the contest. Oscar Gardner, who is
in New York, where he has gone to meet
Solly Smith next Tuesday night, sent a
telegram last night agreeing to the
weight 1t is quite probable that Malachi
Hogan. the popular referee of Chicago,
will referee this match. Patsy Haley said
Friday night that he was surprised to
read a reported interview with himself, in
which he was alleged to have described
the best way to box Oscar Gardner Il
never told anybody how l would fight
Gardner" said Haley. Il don't know how

doesn't fight two battles alike. In twenty
or twenty-five round fights, one arm free,
l think Gardner can beat any feather
weight in the world. 1 don't know man
that he hasn't a shade the best Of it at
that style of fighting. l would like TO

about such a match in the Lenox club.
One of tine most interesting physical
tests ever made at the Yale gymnasium
was that of Ernest Roeber, the wrestler,
conducted by DR.. Jaw W. Seaver. the
gymnasium director, Thursday. In many
of his physical measurements, notably
those of girth, biceps, shoulders and neck,
Roeber broke all records kept at Yale. In
all these mea surements he was nearly a
dozen millimetres in advance of the high
est measurements OF Yale athletes. Two
peculiarities in ROBBERS measurements
were noted. His left hand showed much
greater development than his right al
though he is not left handed. This pecu-
liarity is thought by DR. Seaver to indi-
cate that a wrestler develops mis- left
side muscles by taking hold constantly
with his left arm. ROBBERS lung deyel-
opment was far below the average of the
normal Yale student, proving that wrest-
ling does not develop the chest muscles TO
any extent

two years ago will hesitate long while

All the other advantages are favorable

In speaking of players, Glasscock has
no fears on that score. He says he can
get plenty Of good ones, and in fact, he
already has his lines out and will
know exactly where to put his hands
upon them in case they are wanted.
And, by the way, Glasscock has been
in correspondence with Manager Chas.
Comiskey, of the St. Paul team. Com
iskey offers to farm out some of his
extra men to Wheeling if it is so de-
sired, and as he has some good men

The newspapers which have taken
the league reorganization matter up
are discussing the advisability OF per-
hitting Wheeling to enter. Some IA
vor, and others oppose, as would natur-
ally be expected, according to senti-
ments of friendship and proximity,
more than on account of good reasons
for or against. But if the franchise is
brought here, Wheeling will show them
all thing or two, or the local talent
will miss its guess.

A few days ago, Mr.. Glasscock re-
ceived a letter from a Springfield man
who signed himself John Smith,
wanting to sell the franchise of that
city. Smith wanted to meet Glasscock
in Columbus to talk the matter over,
but Jack wrote him to come to Wheel
ing and he would converse with him.
Smith said the Springfield franchise
can be purchased for from $1,000 to
81 500, and in view of the fact that
Springfield will be dumped from the
league on the 14th. it is natural to
suppose that the figures named would
fully satisfy the owners. The Wheel
ing men are not out for airy gold
bricks, and will hardly pay for some
thing they are in a good position to
get for nothing. A second letter from
Smith. stating that the players would
go with the franchise, and that he had
been offered 500 for three of them,
failed to excite the cupidity of Veteran
Jack.

that Wheeling would have base ball
worth looking at. While these two
gentlemen have the practical side Of the
great game down finer than but few
others, it is understood there is behind
them two business men whose finan-
cial standing is unquestioned. With
such backing-the names of the bust
ness men the Register is not yet privi-
legged to print-the enterprise would
be given an impetus that would inspire
the confidence of the fraternity, and
would carry the team through the sea-
son without the faintest possibility OF
collapse.
How Wheeling shall fare in the re-
organization of the Interstate League
will develop at the meeting of the
franchise owners throughout the cir
cult, to be held at Hotel Pierce, at
New Castle, on Tuesday, February
18th. At that time and place Wheel
ing's claims will be presented and the
matter will be taken up and decided
upon for or against. 1t seems to be
foregOne conclusion that one, if not
two of the cities now holding fran
chises, will drop out, and it is desired
that Wheeling shall be taken in to fill
the vacancy. That Springfield will be
| one of the towns leaving the league is
generally accepted. The business end
of the base ball management in that
city is in bad shape with little or no
prospects for it's being able to eXtricate
! itself The stockholders of the fran
chise are in a muddle and the sheriff
of Clarke county has possession of the
grounds. In fact, Springfield is not
taken into consideration any more in
discussing the affairs of the league,
and Fort Wayne, while not in as de-
plOrable a condition, may go along with
Springfield. Columbus has her eye
turned toward the Interstate again this
season, and may be a candidate for d
franchise.

one in which the game should grow

Among the several competent gentle
men who would be willing to control a
Wheeling franchise in the Interstate
league is Mr.. w. B. Howell, whose am
pie experience in base ball matters
entities him to consideration. Mr.
Howell was turned down last year by
the tinkering of those who wished to
discount Wheeling's prestige as a base
ball town, and he is starting in this
season with a commendable determin-
alton TO fare better by his efforts. He
is convinced of the feasibility of the
undertaking, and sees in Wheeling a
fertile field for the conduct of such an
enterprise. Mr.. Howell is looking at
the practical side as well as viewing
the question from the standpoint of an
enthusiast, and is Of the belief that a
Wheeling team cannot only be con-
Quoted upon a self-sustaining but a
paying basis.
