BSS~ heeling cannot be said to have far
ed badly at the hands of the schedule
maxi. The schedule gives Wheeling
nine Saturday games at home, and
thirteen abroad; and fifteen Sunday
games at home and six abroad.
President Riley, of Columbus, is not
tiekled to death with the draft of the
schedule, and is getting ready to make
a kick. Riley can't expect all the
good things in the first year.
Myers has signed to catch for Dayton
this season. Dayton has released
pitcher Knau, who may sign with Co.
lumbus.
Outfielder Ashenbeck, late of the
New Castle club, is to manage team
in the Virginia League.
The fans who watch the work of
first baseman Turner during the COM
ing season, will not recognize him as
the same man who held down the in
itial bag for the Nailers during the flag
end of the season of SO. Turner is a
teetotaler now, and has taken off about
thirty or forty pounds of superfiuous
flesh. He looks to be in the pink of
condition, and expects to play the game
of his life. When Turner gets his bat
ting eye, the visiting teams will likely
protest that the right field fence is
too close to the home plate.
In a letter received by President
Mautner last Friday, Captain Jack
Glasscock finally disposes of the ques-
ton as to whether he will be in Fl
Wayne this season or at Sioux City.
Glasscock says that it is his intention
to play here in 1900 and probably for
many seasons to come. TT. Wayne is
assured of having the very best man
ager in the Interstate League |
don't think he has a superior in the
ranks of the minor leagues so far as
managing players and getting good
work out of them at all times, and at
the same time having the respect of
all the players and patrons.-Ft
Wayne Cor. Sporting News.
Martin Bergen's brother, William,
who is reserved by Fl. Wayne, has re-
turned his contract unsigned, and de-
mands a contract calling for $3.50 a
month. which the MANAGEMENT will re-
fuse to accede to. Bergen received 800
a month last season, which was his
first season in professional company.
President Beall. of the Sioux City
Western League team, tried to get old
Jack Glasscock from Fl. Wayne, but
failed. Jack received raise in his sal
airy to stay in MISUNDERSTANDING
This is all right, but Jack moves to
: amend by striking out the word old"
"No ginger" has been a frequent
complaint on the part of local patrons,
but if their past conduct gives line on
what may be expected in the future the
Nailers will set the pace for ''Scrappy"
ball in the Inter- State. Jack Glass
cock will have to look to his laurels.
Manager Lyle has scheme, which,
If carried Que, will prove a great &C
commodation to patrons of the club.
He proposes to fly mo game and
"game" flags from staff on the roof
of one of the tallest buildings in the
city. This will be mutually benefc-
ial. 1t will settle definitely the ques-
ton of whether there is to be a game.
