While all the indications point to a
contest over the presidency of the IN
terstate League, at the coming meeting
of directors to be held in Mansfield, the
magnates would do well to deliberate
over the subject before choosing an OF
fetal other than c. B. Power The
principal complaint against tho Pitts
burg n.Sn arises from his appointment
of umpyes. This is not entitled to any
weight, inasmuch as there is no assur-
ance that his successor would do any
better, if, indeed, there is any evidence
that the umpires appointed by him are
not IN to the average in ability and
fairness. President Power has not had
as much time to devote to the inter-
ests of the League as the organization
demanded, but it has been successful
under his leadership, and this would
appear to be one instance in which the
wisest policy is to ''let good enough
alone" George Lamoree. the wealthy
New Castle brewer, and VIM Myers,
the Fort Wayne merchant, both excel
lent men, are mentioned as candidates.
Neither should be considered seriously,
for the reason that their places of re-
sidence would render them liable to
charges of discrimination. George
Moreland is said to aspire to the presi-
dency, but there is no likelihood he
will be chosen. Harry Weldon, sport
ing editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
is another alleged candidate. In the
event of a change, no better choice could
be made than Weldon.
The Cincinnati Reds arrived in the
city last night, and registered at the
New Mcclure. They will play two
games with the Wheeling club. The
first will be called at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon, at the Island park, and if
the weather is favorable all the fans"
will be out to witness what promises
to be a first-class exhibition of the ma
tional game. Poole and Donovan will
be the Wheeling battery. This is suf-
ficient assurance that the local team
will put on it's strongest front The
club is still intact. The second game
will be played tomorrow afternoon,
weather permitting.
