It's over! The twenty-seven week
schedule of the Wheeling League has
been gone through with without a
hitch, and after the won and lost col
umn in the following table will be
noticed it will be seen that each of the
ten teams have bowled the required
eighty-one games without postponed
game to be answered for. AS was pre-
dicted by many, when the above tourn-
ament was started, it would prove the
success that it has, for when one look
ed over the list of captains he could
but acknowledge that they were the
right men in the right place. The
race has been an exciting one through
out and - was only after the hardest
kind of work that any team finished
where they did. A noticeable factor
of the race was the harmony that ex-
listed at all times between the play
ers.
For the good work done by the ten
captains in so successfully holding
their men in line for the long series.
Secretary Fette has had made for each
of the captains gold medal that he
will present to them next Tuesday
might. The medals are solid gold and
warranted for twenty years, with the
name of the captain and his team on
each. For the good work done by the
bowlers, the secretary will serve all
who attend with fried oyster supper
next Tuesday evening, and will also
divide the prize money, amounting to
two hundred and thirteen dollars, the
same evening.
The following table shows the num-
her of games won by each team and
from whom they were won, also the en-
tire list of prize winners.

Gardner has advanced one hundred
per cent.
His achievement which goes to
prove this fact was his cleaning up
for Jack Hamilton il FIVE rounds. He
is game and can take all that is COM
ing to him and step back in for more
He works hard at his training quar-
tiers every day. He starts earl yin the
morning with jog into the suburbs.
Light exercise and a rub down on the
return before dinner. In the after
noon the heavier part OF the training
is done. This system with good hours
should but him in excellent condition.
McClelland, on the other hand, has
been in training for months owing to
the fact that he has had three or four
fights in the past three months, and
he has necessarily been kept in train
ing all that time, and will probably be
little stale.
Gardner should win and his friends
are all of the opinion that he will
win
Under the clever management of
Billy Corcoran. the clever Pittsburger
has Jared far better than his real abil-
ity warranted. McClelland is very
clever, it must be admitted. His weak
ness is his inability to hit. In the
days of the "clean breaks Jack was
in his glory for with his excellent
blocking ability, he could stand off al
most any man in his class, and win out
on his ability to hit without first
clinching. Pittsourg gang are not
anxious to match any of their boys
where there is the least chance of an
even break, which accounts for the
Smoky City fighters winning so
many battles. If they can force their
own referee in, besides, the outsider
hasn't the chance Of the proverbial
snow ball.

A Republican, View.

To an outsider, it would appear sui
cidal for the two candidates from this
city to continue in the fight. Unless
some arrangement can be made where
by the candidate securing the majority
OF the delegates from Pease township
shall nave all, neither can be nomi-
mated This proposition should be as
fair for one candidate as the other,
and to an outsider the candidate re-
fusing to enter into such arrangement
would seem TO be candidate only
for purpose. A strong feeling Is de-
veloping among the Republicans that
the party is bigger than any individual
and that the chances of Martins Fer
ry securing a deserved place in the
official family OF Belmont county must
not be jeopardized to crafty the per
sonal feeling OF any man or set OF
men. A united delegation from Pease
will secure the nomination.

ting Horse Breeders Association, is
being congratulated on bringing
Messrs. Lawson and Scannell together

Mr.. Scannell accepted the PROPOSE
ton for race in a terse telegram, I'M
mediately on receipt of our offer and
Mr.. Lawson's acceptance has been
made by mail. In Mr.. Lawson's letter
he additionally made two extremely
generous propositlons-on being that
in the event he won, he would donate
the entire stake to Lexington charities,
and the other being, that, to insure the
audience that day of at least one great
race, in case his great young horse
should not be as good as he thinks he
will be, he will offer a purse of $4,000
to be raced for by the grand stations,
Cresceus and Charlie Herr, on condi-
tons to be determined by us. | think
we will ask the owners of these two
horses to pay an entrance fee of 81 1000
each and race for the $1,000. under
national rules, best three in five heats,
the winner to get $1,000 and the loser
$4,000
This generous action of Mr.. Law
son is big thing for us, as it enables
us to give this additional race without
going further into our pockets for ev-

chance in thousand of half the gate

MARTINS FERRY.
Local News From the City of Mills
and Factories.
Aroused Suspicion.

There were two suspicious looking
men in Burlington the day after the
bank robbery out in the State last
week. The men entered saloon in Bur-
lington and asked for a meal, and
seemed to be in great hurry. They
were told that no meals were served,
but that they could be supplied with
sandwiches. They replied that sand
witches were not good enough for them.
They were told that 1t was only short
distance to Martins Ferry, and that
they could secure meal there, but they
said they did not want to go to Martins
Ferry, but wanted to get across the
river quick, and that they did not want
to cross the bridge at Martins Ferry
but wanted to get skiff and be rowed
across the river. Both men were ner-
vous and looked as though they were
hungry. Marshal Erwin was notified
but it was too late. The marshal will
investigate the matter.
