club. The spring of '96 found the Cleve-
tried twirlers, and Tebeau decided to take
no chances with a youngster. AS a result
Carrick was farmed out to Fort Wayne,
and finished the season with that aggrega-
ton. In '97 Carrick received a fiattering
offer from the Newark, NJ j., club, and he
decided to come east. His work with that
club was unusually brilliant, and attracted
the attention of Magnate Andrew Freed
man of the New York team. Toward the
middle of the season the Newark club got
in arrears several hundred dollars with
Carricks salary, and as the officials told
him he would have to depend upon the
gate receipts for his salary he decided to
jump to New York without going through
the preliminaries of securing release.
Quite a controversy arose between the
Newark and New York clubs over Car
rick's services, but Mr.. Freedman, as
usual, had his way, and William became
full-dedged giant. He finished out the sea-
son Of '97 with New York. and remained

MERGERS NAME.

How the Famous Twfrler's Name of
"Winnie" Originated.
From Sporting Life.
Unless someone steps in and settles the
question of how, when and where Twirler
Mercer secured the sobriquet winnie"
which has been affixed to his name for To-
these many years, there will be all sorts of
trouble down at East liverpool, Ohio
which the twirler claims as his home.
Mercer has been In base ball for quite a
few years and Is known throughout the
base ball world as Winnie" This was
looked on as a queer name for a ball play
err, but it seemed to fit Mercer first-class
as he is somewhat Of an Adonis on the field
and regular fashion plate off it. 1t was
as Winnie" that the late lamented Joe
Campbell handed the curly-haired twirler
down to fame, and Joe never looked for a
better subject than this same Winnie
And now, after all these years Of WIN
ME-" writer came along on Saturday
last and shattered the idol by a bold state
ment that he was not Winnie at ALL but
just plain George H. 1t is said that during
the paimy days OF base ball in East Liver
pool Mercer was always the favorite of the
team and came in for the best share of
applause whenever an out-of-town team
would play against the old crockery city
team: If the game was a close one, de-
pending perhaps on the action of one play
er. the home people would yell, win
Mercerv' Win, Mercer" He always re-,
sponded and the sobriquet of VIM was
adopted by the East Liverpool players and
their admirers.
Now comes w. A. Calhoun Of East Liver
pool, who should know whereof he speaks
with still another version. Here is what
he says:
EAST LIVERPOOL. Ohio, April 9-Edit-
or Sporting Life: Allow me to give the
base ball public a correct version of Pitcher
MERGERS sobriquet VIM in place Of the
wonderful pipe or jag" given out by
your correspondent in your Saturday edi-
ton.
The writer knows the base ball history
of Mercer perfectly, having seen him play
probably every game he ever PLAYED in
good. fortune to pick Win out as a
Conner" and by the aid of Manager Frank
Lenord, now of Syracuse, to introduce him
to professional base ball in the New Eng
land League.
MERGERS full name is William BARCLAY
Mercer, and mis- sobriquet Of Win came
about through an odd series Of changes
Mercer came to East Liverpool from a
West Virginia farm, and at that time was
as boy, very much of a "yap" He
found employment in the potteries here and
vas in the line Of an old custom here to
have nickname and was christened "Vir-
ginia," which in time became Virgin"
and this later cut to "Gin' which in
time became VIM the writer, with sew
eral others. being responsible for the last
change: which was soon extended to Win
ME" This was soon turned into "Wini-

ACCIDENTS.

The bullet that Chas Jackson shot in
to himself, last Wednesday night, ran
around the skin and lodged in his back,
where it was easily found and removed.
The time viii probably come when
passenger trains and freight trains will
be run on seIa ,ate lines IN all the reil
roads. AS it is now the freights are
compelled to run nearly as fast as the
passenger trains to make their switches
and keep out of the way and their
tremendous momentum and force tears
mp everything when a break happens
A wheel of a train of new steel cars,
ladened with ore, on the p. d w (B. &
o. broke near Wildwood station last
Saturday afternoon, and the tremendous
weight and force of the train moving at
high speed tore up the tracks as though
made of pipe stems. Both tracks were
filed with broken cars and traffic was
delayed for several hours. Some Butler
people vino started for Pittsburg at A
o'clock got there after 10 O'Clock, and
the scene at Wildwood and below where
thirteen passenger trains, some of them
through trains, and some freights stood
in line for hours, waiting for a hole to
be made through the derbris, was an
interesting one.
