Gentle Mildred.
Fair Mildred has a tender heart;
1t makes her sad to see
Bad boys espy the brides nest
And tear it from the tree;
Yet, while she sorrows for the bird
The solemn truth is that
She always has a wing or two
Affixed unto her hat.

Be cruel through and through;

Abhors his cruel steel,

INTERSTATE BASE BALL.
There Will be Two Aspirants for a Fran
chise in heeiing.

The meeting of the Board of Managers
of the Interstate Base Ball League will
be held in New Castle on the 18th inst.
and great many rumors concerning
deals, and the probable makeup of the
circuit, have been in circulation. 1t ap-
pears certain that Toledo, New Castle.
Youngstown, Mansfield, Dayton and
Grand Rapids wild again be in the circuit,
with Springfield and Youngstown on the
doubtful list.
Lew Whistler. who managed Springfield,
has taken charge of the syracuse team,
and there is every indication that there
will be no professional base ball in that
city this year. AT the New Castle meet
ing. it is more that likely that a franchise
will be awarded to Wheeling. Mr.. w. B.
Howell, who has always been prominent
figure in base ball. feels that he has
claims which the Interstate magnates
cannot ignore, and he will be on hand to
look after his interests. Jack" Glass
cock and Sammy Nichol are also anx-
ious to conduct a team here, and one or
both will no doubt attend the meeting.
