At New Castle, Through the IntiictiOn
IF Local Umpire
Although the Wheeling club. officials
do not care to make a "holler" now that
the fight is over and the pennant has
gone to New Castle. yet 1t has learned
that the quaker organization was only
enabled to win the rag" by very UNI
sportsmanllke conduct. The Intelligen-
Ger learns this on the authority Of a
Wheeling fan" who witnessed the CLOS
Ing games at New Castle. This gentle
man makes very serious allegations
against the New Castle people. First.
he says that the regular umpire, Twine-
ham, was taken in hand by certain peo-
pie and placed In such condition that
he was unable to act in his official Gu
paclty; then he was spirited out OF town
and through the failure Of President
Power to send some member OF his reg
ular stan, the series with Wheeling was
umpIred by local man. MRyne. Mnyne,
1t IS further alleged, had but one object
In yiew-to prevent Wheeling from Win
ming. and this he did most eifectually.
In the first game, Parvln let down the
New Castles with but four hits, while
Wheeling got eleven clean ones,
Though the official scorer allowed but
eight. and the game should have been
WheelIng's, but Mnyne saw-to II that
enough fake bases on balls and suffic-
lent queer base decisions We're given
against Wheeling to make ttabsOlutely-
impossible for the StOgies to win. This
same policy was pursued in the four
other games OF the series, with the re-
suit that New Castle beat out Mansfield
one game at the finish. Mansfield has
n team OF rowdIes who will stop Mt
nothing. but until the Wheellng-New
Castle series 1t was thought the Penn
sylvanians were not In Mansheld's class
now we don't think 80.
There is also comment upon the fall
ure OF President Power to send a regu-
lar umpire to New Castle after Twiue-
hams lnglorious exit. -Four Of the
eight teams had completed their season,
and It would have been proper move
for Power to send two umpires each to
New Castle and Mansfield for the two
deciding series. Instead Of this he al
loved Wheeling to be Inflicted with n
local umpire at New Castle, in the face
OF the fact that he could have sent Car
ruthers or McCredie. COlgan being as
signed to Mansfield for the series with
youngstown Decidedly, this was not
us Il should have been, and the presi-
dent OF the league is coming In for
much unfavorable comment because OF
his alleged partially to his home town,
New Castle.

4 WHEELING MANS IDEA.
lie wonId Have Eastern and Western
Auxiliary Leagues.

AuAlNlNEy AASthShGHs
A well known Wheeling man-who is
also a ran-comes to the front with n
novel proposition, which. whether prac-
ticable or not, appears decidedly attrac-
tive on paper He works his scheme
out on the suppositIon that there will
be two big" leagues next season, work
ing tremendously together. His idea Is
10 form two auxiliary Leagues. one in
the east and the other in the west. The
latter, for instance. would be composed
OF Wheeling, Columbus. Dayton and
Toledo, four towns that are Ideally
punched. Wheeling would be auxiliary
10 one club in the National and one in
the Association. these to furnish Wheel
ing with n sufficient number OF their re-
serve players to form n team; the "blg"
clubs to have privilege OF retaining
their players at any time. but In re-
turn to farm" out other players in
their places: the auxiliary" salary
limit to be about 81. 200, and the "blg"
clubs to pay amy excess In the salaries
Of the players they furnish The sched-
ule Of the little League to be arranged
with open dates. one or two each week.
10 be filled by games with the clubs OF
the National and Association. The ad-
vantages OF such an arrangement are
obvious 1t would give the cities Of the
auxiliary league better ball than they
have had in the past, and It would sys-
tcmatize the farming" evil In such n
manner that its obnoxious features
would probably be largely eliminated.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Sept 25'-'oe
choynski, of California, knocked out
Jim Hall, of Australia, in the third
round tonight, before the Nonparell
Athletic club, at Music Hall, in the
presence Of some $500 people. 1t was
announced that the fight was for the
light heavyweight championship. lin
tied to twenty rounds. and for dlyis,

corner were Frank Kelly, OF Cincln-
natl; Patsy Grubbs, Louisville; DOCK
Hottum, Memphis, and Australian JIM
my Ryan.
Fitzpatrick and Jim Watts were behind
Choynsd. =.
The fight was lively enough while II
lasted, with the honors possibly IN
Halls favor during the hrst Two
rounds, but in the third. Choynski used
his right and left effectively a number
OF times and when but half minute OF
the third round remained, Choynskl
landed several right and lefts In sue
cession, sending Hall to the Aoor, where
he remained until carried to his corner,
after the referee had counted the ten
seconds. Instantly there were cries OF
fake" from all quarters OF the hall.
and u more disappointed crowd never
left riugsIde in this city.
II was a right hook on the Jaw that
sent Hall down, and from the specta-
tors standpoint was not delivered with
sufficient force to have put the Austria
liam out. Choynski. so Hall claims,
landed n left below the belt, and near
the groin, which Hall explained after
the fight, took all the steam out OF him.
