The Toledo team will be home to-
morrow for a series with Mansfield
Eli Gates, the old-time fayorite OF To-
ledo audiences, will be in the box for
Toledo and his Temperance will pro-
badly be greeted by a great crowd at
ArTnory Park The Toledo team is
now, apparently, back in It's old form
and is playing the game with the snap
and ginger that the Toledo fans de-
light in.-Toledo Bee
President Powers's ruling that the
Wheeling club forfeited the game to Co.
lumbus should not count is undoubtedly
right, and the Fort Wayne management
will probably uphold him in it. There
was no regular umpire at Columbus
when Wheeling failed to appear, and
President Riley held a conference with
himself and appointed Pete Daniels to
act. Pete gave che game to Columbus
8 to after STREET had pitched couple
of balls over the plate. Had the regu-
lar umpire or an authorized substitute
made the decision it would stand, even
though Wheeling offered all kinds of
excuses. There is every reason why the
game should be given TO Columbus, but
it should be by q vote of the board of
directors and not by the action of
ball player The game shouldn't count
now, but the league should take some
action to make it count as a defeat for
Wheeling and a victory for Columbus.

the players They are in favor of abol-
ishing it altogether, but if this was
done it would be difficult 10 size up q

Bill Conner. late of the Youngstown
team. has decided to return to his home
in Bloomington Ill, and he will play
with the team there and likely manage

All the players on the Youngstown
team like to play for Finn but they
also like to see the color of the money
which they claim to be due them on
their contracts. About the middle of
last week one Of the players approach

ing to have a pay day He replied:
l,ora ~ c.
urdav the Giants we're leading the Hay
makers by score of 2 to /. The Mans
field gang tied the score in the ninth
inning. and the Youngstown boys
thought their pay day had gone glim-
mering. The boys encourag ed Rosev
to let out another link. and the big
southpaw was equal to the occasion
He left the Mansfelds down without a
run in the next two innings. and in the
eleventh wild pitch advanced Bay

run was scored hv the Giants on a hit

The sporting editor Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer should muzzle the space writ
err from Toledo who is doing more lust
now to hurt the Interstate League than
all the alleged rowdy ball players in the
United States A few years ago it was
a Springfield CORRESPONDENT who made
matters appear bad for the Interstate
and now ii is the fellow in Toledo who
writes for the Enquirer at so much per.
Two-thirds of the stuff he writes is un-
true, and the other third might be read

Umpire Criss seems to have been par
ticularlv distasteful TO the Senators.
One would think that the sensation of
winning, after the experience of the
past two weeks, would make every
member of the Columbus club feel so
good that they would not care what the
umpire did Under the circumstances,
Mr.. Criss must have been pretty bad
