Notwithstanding the uncertainty as
to whether the Pittsburg College team
would play here yesterday, crowd of
several hundred assembled at the ISL
and ball park yesterday to witness the
game. Many, after being told that the
Smoky City lads would not be down,
remained to watch the local players in
their practice work. Pop Lyle had
promised to notify the manager of the
Pittsburg club If it rained in Wheeling,
and as the weather was fair he sent no
telegram. But it appears that it rain
ed very hard in Pittsburg at nine
o'clock and the club promptly decided
to cancel the date, evidently under the
impression that the same sort of wealth
er prevailed in Wheeling.
There will be a good game this after
noon, however, when the home club
crosses bats with Jimmy Cooper's Can
ton aggregation. Cooper is an ex-In-
terstate player, crack outfielder and
good hitter, and he has many admir-
ers in Wheeling. Last season he play
ed with Youngstown. The game will
be called at $3.50 O'Clock, and the play
ers will line up as follows:

statement that the Standard had made
advances to the Pipe Line Company with
a view to buying it out, Mr.. Archbold
said:
ANY approaches on that line have come
from the other side and he proceeded
to say that such advances had been made
not only by Lee, but by others connected
with the independent lines, including Mr..
Phillips
I'VE have declined their offers" he said.

furthermore because of our lack Of faith
in the men from whom the proposition
came, having had previous experience
with them"
In reply to Mr.. Phillips he said he did
not claim that the propositions were "un-
fair or unjust. but Illegal"
Mr.. Phillips attempted to make a state
mentsat this point. but was cut off by the
commission on the ground that he could
at any time take the stand in his own
behalf

Murphy of the United States army re-
cruiting station here returned to-day from
Meadville, Pa. disgusted with the Mead
vile anti-eXpansionists, who caused him
to close the sub-recruiting station there
and to come away without a single re-
cruit. The station was opened August
90, in charge of Private Baldwin, and in
two days seventeen applicants had been
examined and five accepted. Mr. Murphy
went up yesterday to swear the men in,
but none appeared and Baldwin went out
and brought them to the office. They re-
fused to take the oath.
One of them said: My friends have
been talking to me and telling me the
Americans ought not to have anything to
do with the war over there in the Phil
ippines. They told me those fellows
ought to be given a chance to be their
own bosses, and this country is not Civ
ing them a square deal in fighting them.
All the folks here feel that way. and it
will go hard with us fellows if we go
into the army to go over to the Philip
pines. A lot of my friends tell me if l
go people here won't have anything more
to do with me. and | guess | won't go.
