Wheeling forfeited yesterdays game

Il was the result of disputing the de-
clsion OF the umpire, but in TINS case it
was attributable to the stubbornnoss of
Billy Taylor. The team questioned
accession, and there was Wrangle, dur

sion and would like to have Wheeling's
franchise Youngstown is in a bad
way, and Manager Finn is ready TO quit
unless he gets prompt and satisfactory
financial assistance. Youngstown and
Wheeling have been disappointments
with reference to Sunday games, and
Power will send out revised schedule
this week. There may be other i'm
