FOR LABOR DAY.
The General Committee Of the Trades
Assembly Held Meeting Last
Night--A Special Meeting Of the
Assembly Called.

The general committee on arrange
ments for the Labor Day celebration
at the Fair Grounds on the last Satur-
day in August, held meeting at Trades
Assembly hall last night, and besides
hearing the reports of the various sub
committees, considered several matters
of general interest. The most import
ant Of these was the question of parade.
This has already been referred to the
different locals affiliated with the as
sembly, for the purpose of securing an
expression of opinion. The committee
decided to call a special meeting of the
assembly for next Sunday to- consider
the matter. There was a general dis
cussion of the subject, and it developed
a preponderance of sentiment in favor
of the usual parade. This feeling was
accentuated by the fact that the treas
ury of the assembly is depleted. and
the central body is in need of funds.
1t is believed that parade will bring
a bigger crowd to the Fair grounds,
and will go a considerable distance to-
ward insuring the success of the DEM
onstration.
The general committee last night Sc
lected the Grand Opera House band to
furnish music for the dancing platforms
and the Liberty band to furnish concert
music and parade music if a parade is
decided upon

The Fort Wayne team Is between
5000 and $4,000 ahead on the season,
and may be fairly regarded as on easy
street, as no amount CT hard luck is
likely to make the team finish the

The holiday games have been OF
great help to the Interstate league
clubs. The league pools the receipts

Fourth of July games will be nearly
$500. The total receipts were S3,19I,

of the poor patronage there. One
trouble with Frank is his denial to
the people of their right to boycott =

of the national game in every city,
and the situation in Grand Rapids
is much the same as it is in Wheeling.
If the quality of base ball furnished
by the local club, in either case, is de-
serving of patronage, the patronage
will come. There is too much lOcaf

NEW CASTLE 6; FORT WAYNE 2.
DAYTON z. WHEELING 3.
YOUNGSTOWN /; TOLEDO O.

There was no brass band to meet the
Wheeling base BALI club upon its re-
turn from the western trip. There was
a funereal silence. about the railroad
station, and the players had to cut
through great chunks of gloom and de-
preston on their way to the Howell
House. Over at the ball park in the
afternoon there was handful of the
irrepressibles, but even they did not
extend the reclamation which is usu-
ally the reward of clean playing and
timely hitting. 1t was such welcome
as Spain extended to her soldiers after
the Americans drove them out of Cuba.
Nothing happened at the ball park In
the afternoon to lessen the disfavor
with which the Stogies are now gener-
ally regarded Nevertheless but for an
Indifference which was plainly in evil
dence, Wheeling might have taken a
victory from Dayton, to in measure
even uo for the awful whitewash OF
Monday. Poole went into the box with
out warming up, and the visitors took
kindly to his curves and killed his
speed in the first inning. They sent
the ball sailing out into all corners OF
the lot, hitting safely six times for a
totol of ten bases. The fusillade re-
a lead which it was impossible to over.
come. The game therefore lacked in
terest for the spectators after the first
inning. Poole appeared to be careless,
and the ball came over the home plate
as big as a balloon. Then he settled
down, and the visitors made but four
hits Off him in the remaining innings.
Dayton tried an amateur, who was
picked up on a town lot in Columbus.
He is a tall fellow, with a quick deliv-
cry, lots of speed, but few curves. He
experienced considerable difficulty in
controlling the ball, but when he put
it over the plate the Wheeling boys
were unable to connect with any degree
of success.
Wheeling did not score until the third
inning, when Taylor and Dobbs were
passed to first after one man was out,
and both scored on lucky single by
Lyons and clean double by Miles,
Two singles made in the next inning
did not count. In the fourth Wheeling
lost her only opportunity to win out
Lyons was first up, and went down on
a foul fly to Donahue Niles did bet
ter, sending the sphere out to center
field for two bags. Myers hit to Mil
Ter, who got under the ball after a hard
run and muffed it. Strang forced My
ers out at second. but Niles scored on
the play. Ziegler hit out safe one,
and Cote got base on a balk, filling
the bags. 1t was all up to Poole, and
he swiped the first one, sending it on
a line between first and second. Knau
skated after it, got it on a hard bound,
and retired Ziegler at second, pulling
Moore out of hole and saving the
game.
There'were no brilliant plays, and the
game was listless throughout Khan
was the star, fielding his position sharp
and clean and pounding out three hits.

"PARSON" NICHOLSON
Is the New Manager of the Wheeling Team
The Holiday Receipts

The Holiday Receipts
President Howell, Of the Wheeling
base bali club, was in close consulta-
ton for long time yesterday with
"ParsOn" Nicholson, of Bellaire. Last
night Mr.. Howell stated that a deal
had been effected by which Nicholson
becomes manager of the team. par
SON. is a veteran player, and years ago
was ON the Wheeling team. He is not
only a thorough gentleman and a cap
able and conscientious ball player, but
he possesses in a satisfactorily degree
those qualities which go to make up a
successful manager. He is Thoroughly
conyersant with every detail of the
game, and is a man in whom both
players and public should have inn
plicit confidence. In the exchange of
views between Messrs. Nicholson and
Howell, the former outlined policy
with regard to the conduct of the club,
which should bring order out of the
present chaotic condition of affairs,
and enable Wheeling to advance a
step or two in the standing of Inter-
state teams.
T. N. Nicholson has had an extensive
career as base ball player, and until
a few years ago was in the Western
League. This season he signed with
Dayton, but through a misunderstand-
ing, by which two infielders were sign
ed for the same position, he was re-
leased. Nicholson will be in the game
to-day, and will probably play in the
infield.
He is to have absolute authority in
the matter of signing players, and con-
Quoting the team, and is to have sole
charge of them while playing away
from Wheeling.
Dick Padden was one of the spec
tators in the grand stand yesterday.
The Washington team, of the National
League, of which he is second base
man and captain, played an exhibition
game at Johnstown, Pa. and Pad .en
took advantage of the opportunity TO
visit his home in Martins Ferry. He
had another purpose in visiting the
ball park yesterday, as his attention
has been directed toward Pitcher Wat
kins, of the Dayton team, and it is like
ly that he will be drafted by Washing
ton. Watkins is the pitcher who
shut Wheeling out Monday without
run or hit. He is also the twirler
who won two games from the local
club On the home grounds, on the
same afternoon. Whether or not he is
strong enough for a National League
berth. remains to be seen
While several clubs in the Interstate
have not lost money, there are but two
managers who have really been sue
cessful, from a financial point of view.
They are Chas. ]. Strobel, of Toledo,
and Jack Glasscock, of Fort Wayne.
The former has always made money.
In Fort Wayne it is different. Base
ball has heretofore been an expensive
luxury in the Indiana town. but an
excellent choice was made when Jack
Glasscock was selected to be munger.
