At the Metropolitan A. n. E church
last Wednesday evening was given con-
cert which was probably the most Inn
Dortant musical event Of the season. It
was the Washington debut of Mrs. E.
Azalis Hackley of Denver, Colorado,
whose queenly bearing and most
splendidly equipped soprano voice won
eneomtums Of praise from an audience
accustomed to hearing good music and
voices. The program was long one
With tedious waits and abundant en-
cores but 1t were we'll worth going a
long way and sitti ng long time to
hear. Mrs. Hackley render HeDselt's
"spring" as charmingIy as she did
Monday night; while "Bel Raggio''
from RossIni's ''Semeramide" was
beautiful beyond expression. The notes
were clear and peal-like and showed
not only the rare quality Of Mrs. Hack
lev's voice but her complete mastery Of

Braxton as accompanied and organ
sCloist had a tremendous amount Of
work and did it well.
Mr.. J. Thomas Butler gave several
reads. The "Low Back Car" was
charming and scene from the "Ner-
chant of Venice" showed a studiOus
conception Of ''ShYIock."
The audience, "a fashionable one,"
consisting of more than six hundred
people greeted Mrs. HackIey and her
associates in their concert efforts in q
manner that inspired good work. After
her first number Mrs. Hackley received
a "huge'' bunch Of sweet peas and at
the close OF the concert many friends
crowded the church parlOr to tender
their congratulations in person. Her
return engagement will be awaited
with pleasure.

WHEELING HAS ORGANIZED
For the Interstate Season, and is Ready for Business-Stock
All Subscribed-Frank Youngman, Formerly of Dayton,
Elected Manager of the Wheeling Club-The Local
Plans.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Wheeling Base Ball Club was held last
night in the parlors of the Park Hotel.
The charter arrived during the day and
the meeting was held for organization.
All the stock has been subscribed and
has been paid up. The meeting was
held for the purpose of organization,
and directors were chosen. The meet
ing was enthusiastic and all the stock
holders take a decidedly hopeful view
OF the outlook for lie playing season.
The most important action taken was
the election of a manager, and it will
be gratifying information to local low
ers OF the game that Frank Youngman,
OF Homestead, Pa. was chosen to look
after the interests of the team and to
sign players. Mr.. Youngman has sub
scribed to the stock of the club and was
present at the meeting.
A more capable man could hardly be
chosen from the Interstate ranks to
manage the Wheeling team. Mr..
Youngman has been associated with
Mr.. Armour in the ownership and nan
agement of the Dayton club, and for
several eason has been looking for
an opening in Wheeling.
Mr.. Youngman paid q visit to the
Register Office. after the meeting last
night and said:
Il have always believed that with q
5ood team and Sunday games Wheel-

ing can be made a big winner. We
have no players yet, and I wish you
would ask players who want positions
to address me until next Thursday at
Homestead, Pa, and after that day in
Wheeling, as | shall come down here
Thursday to remain"
While the promoters of the local club
are not Indifferent to the attitude of
some of the Interstate managers to-
ward Wheeling, they feel confident
that this city will be in the circuit as
finally arranged. They know that if
the best interests of the league are to
be consulted. and membership in the
league is not to be dictated by private
spite, Wheeling will be in the organiza-
ton.
Wheeling has received no notice Of
the Interstate meeting which is alleged
to have been called for Toledo next
Wednesday. If the notice is received
Wheeling will be represented and will
be prepared to put up a fight against
the carrying out of the programme
which Strobe and Moutner are al
legged to have decided upon. II it is
considered necessary both Mr.. Young
man and Mr.. ". W. Irwin Will go to
Toledo to look after the interests OF
Wheeling.
The outlook for the season is very
bright With Indianapolis and Louis
vile in the circuit, which now appears
to be very probable. 1t will be the
strongest minor league in the coun-
try.

The Pittsburg Post yesterday morn
ing published an article purporting to
show that w. H. Watkins, the Indian
apolis base ball magnate, holds the key
to the Interstate situation and is in
position to dictate terms. 1t is in
ferred that some of the Interstate a
ayers have the same idea, and that it is
back of their attitude of hostility to-
ward Wheeling. The report upon.
which the Pittsburg publication is
based is as follows: (
1T turns out that w. H. Watkins knew
where he was at all the time he was
flirting with the Western league, and he
is satisfied that he will be in a league OF
stronger teams than that of which Hickey
is the head. When the National league
met in New York recently and threw
down the American Association, Mr.. Wat
kins asked that he be awarded the terri
tOrial rights that were then held by the
Interstate league. His application was
granted, and since that meeting Watkins
has held control of the territory oceu-
pied by the Interstate league. Under the
national agreement Watkins holds the
upper hand, and until he is taken care of
there can be no Interstate league. Such

the National agreement, except that 1t
m through Watkins, n without pro-
lection there can be no life. President
Meyer has accepted the situation grace
fully and is glad to find that Indianapolis
must be taken care of. He believes the
reorganized Interstate league will be
much stronger than the Western league"
Facts in the Matter.
1t is generally understood that all the
Interstate troubles may be charged to
Chas. J. Strobel, of Toledo, whose cram
ium has been abnormally swelled in
recent years, but who does not cut the
figure in base ball circles which he
imagines. Strobel was M of the men
who were, or wanted to be prominent
in the American Association move
ment, and III his eagerness to get into
the new organization he burned his
bridges behind him with the result that
when he went into the National League
meeting in a %repentant mood he was
given such a combing down as few
base ball managers have ever received.
While Strobel was tIrting with the
Association, Chas. B. Power, then Pres.
ident of the Interstate League, a

ganization, and it was he who secured

EDDIE AFTER M'CLELLAND.
Abundant Evidence That the Pittsburg Boxer Wants No
More Of Gardeners Game Under Straight Queensbury
Ruies-An Opportunity for Corcoran to Get All the
Money He Wants.

When Eddie Gardner challenged
Jack McClelland at the ringside, Just
before the last bout at the NJ. A. c.,
the challenge was accepted BY Nc
Clelland himself and by his manager,
Billy Corcoran.
Notwithstanding the prompt accep-
lance, and the apparent willingness of
McCleIland to meet Eddie Gardner,
friends of the latter do not believe
that the Pittsburgers are sincere. They
have agreed to take Gardner on n
time after April 1st, that condition be-
Ing named for the alleged reason that
Jack will have to train for a fight In
Louisville, and does not care 10 train
twice. II is easy to accept a chal-
lenge, but when II comes TO posting fer
felt money. it is quite another thing.
One excuse which Billy Corcoran has
always given, is that there is not
enough money in sight in Wheeling.
He says that the two have met twice.
and MoCielland has gained the decis-
ion both times, from which they ar
que that a meeting between the two
would not prove a winner from a box
Office standpoint
That contention will no longer hold
water. The manager OF Eddie Gard
ner stands ready to make a side bet OF
$3.50. A South Side man agrees to bet
500. that Eddie win best McClelEand.

Board.
Watkins went into the meeting with
Power, but the rights were not grant
ed to the Western League magnate but
to Power.
The Register talked to Mr.. Power
over long distance phone from his Of
fee in Pittsburg last night. He said:
Powers Statement.
THE Post article is very badly mix
ed. Watkins has no territorial rights
in the Interstate. When the American
Association movement went up in the
air, Watkins went with me before the
National Board. He wanted to get
some of the best Interstate territory to
connect with what was left of the
American Association, and organize a
league. I asked for protection for the
Interstate territory and it was given
to me, and not to Watkins.
"The League which it was proposed
to organize was not the Interstate. I
wal given until March 18th to form the
organization. The Interstate people
held off to see what Watkins was go
ing to do, and finally got together and
organized. March 18th has passed, our
organization has not been formed, and
nothing now stands in the way of the
Interstate.
Watkins is favorable to Wheel
ing, | think. / talked with him about
the Interstate cities. 1t would be a
good thing for the Interstate to take
in Indianapolis and Louisville. 1t
would make a good circuit l think
some of the other towns would be
dropped, however, and not Wheeling
some of the smaller towns.
mi. Armour, of Dayton, dropped in
to see me to-day, and talked about base
ball matters. He is very much in fav-
or keeping Wheeling, and if any
changes are to be made, dropping n
or more of the smaller towns. | don't
think there is any danger of Wheeling
being dropped. / am glad to see Wheel
ing taking the right step, and hope the
promoters Of the club will go right
ahead and make money this season"
The Indianapolis News, In discussing
the situation, says that Watkins is
waiting to hear from Grand Rapids.
He is also in communication with two
men who are anxious to secure the
Louisville franchise.

links. The course is laid out over 100
acres, and was originally planned by
Tom" Bandelow. Willie" Davis and
Vardon did not hesitate to say that it
ranked among the three best courses
in the country. &
The curse is one of the longest in
the country, with a total of 6,205 yards
playing distance. The holes have been
laid out in the most scientific name
so that a lost stroke is hard to regain.
The hazards, too, have been SO placed
that a poor stroke rarely escapes with
out due punishment. The turf through
the fair green is uniformly good, and
the greens are large and we'll kept.
The fifth is the shortest hole in the
course, 100 yards. and the ninth the
longest, an even 600 yards. The four
teenth and seventeenth are but little
shorter, however. being SIS and 512
yards respectively.
The outward journey Is 3,065 yards
