The Wheeling management has re-
celyed a letter from Manager Jake
Wells, OF the champion Richmond team
OF the Atlantic league. asking for an
exhibition game here on August "a. As
the Atlantic league has busted" the
Wheeling management now has 1t with
in Its power 70 secure either number
OF high class Individual players with
which to strengthen the present tehm'
or President Howell might make ten
strike by engaging one OF ths16lccess-
full Atlantic league managers, like
President Barrow, who gave Wheeling
her only pennant-wlnner, in 1885, or
Jake" Wells, the manager Of the PEN
nant-winnlng RichmOnds, and commits
sion him to bring an entire rev team
10 Wheeling, to which could bo added
four or five Of the strongest men on the
present Wheeling team. Think 1t over
Mr.. Howell, before the best Atlantic
leaguers are gobbled up by other teams.

yesterday, as he got away with fewer
hits than the WheelIngs scored OF the
Mansfield twirler.
President Howell, OF the Wheeilngs,
is expected back from Mansfield to-day.
Why can't Wheeling win away from
