Because the reindeer IS a domes-

reader has doubtless jumped 10 the
conclusion that the name refers TO the
fact that the reindeer IS driven Ike a

not so simple. Some authorities have

do so, will keep the team in its present
position until the end of the season.
When seen last night by represen-
tative OF the News, Sporting Editor
Archer took the Canton scribe into a
nearby corner and confidentially told
him Of his troubles, his ailments and
his prospects. Under cover of his rain
coat, he produced huge billy" and
declared that the first Wheeling club
owner that tried to mclest him would
receive a little something that would
discourage him far more than the
present doings of the team does.
Another story appeared in Arch
ers paper today to the effect that a
team representing the Tri-State or p.
Q. M. outlaw league would be placed
in Wheeling in pposition to the Central
league team. The Wheeling Traction
Company is said to be back of the deal
and if it can be put through Archer
and his contemporaries will endeavor
to boost a team that will lead the
league in the number of games won
and not in the number of games lost
as the present Central league aggrega-
ton does.
w. w. Irwin, secretary and treasur-
er of the Wheeling team, when seen
by News man last night, stated that
so far as the owners of the Wheeling
club were concerned they had always
tried to be kind and courteous to their
players while the salary, list of last
years team far exceeded that of any
other team in the Central league.
Last season was the first year in the
history of baseball in Wheeling that
the management ever made any mon
ey and the amount made will not come
near roimbuTsing the stockholders for
what they lost in the past" said Mr..
Irwin. When questioned as to Arch
er's motives in publishing the state
ments heretofore referred to, Irwin
said that he always made it rule in
his life never to talk about dead men.
Further than this he had nothing to say
regarding what he called the scandal
Gus articles published in the Intelli-
gencer.
President Perkins was also seen
and he corroborated the statements
made by Irwin and added that if the
present aggregation of ball players on
the Wheeling team don't deliver the
goods, he would call the fire depart
ment out and have them transported
to Ypsilanti, Michigan, or words to
that effect. Mr. Perkins was very ex-
cited when he made these statements
and as he is very large man 1T would
mean something doing if he and Arch
er ever ran across each other on a
dark street after the shades of night
had fallen.
Where the trouble will end nobody
knows but it seems that the public
are with Irwin and Perkins and the
Wheeling cellar champs

THREE MURDERS
In One Vicinity Believed to Have Been

Parties.

sheriff's posse is securing the woods
trying to discover the murderers of
George Whiteman, 40 years old, and
his father, rs years old, whose bodies,
horribly slashed with razors and their
throats cut. were found in the bar
room of the little road house they
kept on the road to Matawan, two
miles from Old Bridge.
Some weeks ago Mrs. Rachel Wright
was murdered at Old Bridge. She was
knocked senseless with a blackjack
and her throat cut. The similarity
Of the crimes has caused people to
believe that the same parties may
have been concerned in it.

SOME CIRCUS FACTS.
interesting Things About the Barnum
G. Bailey Show Not Generally
Known.

There are some facts about the Bar
mum 6 Bailey circus that are not gen
orally known. but which can hardly
fail to be of interest to the thousands
who visit the big show when it ex-
hibits here Friday, May %.
The present season marks the fifty.
third annual tour of the Barnum Il
Bailey Show. 1t Is the only Ameri-
can circus that has ever made a tour
of Europe, and its entire equipment,
except railroad cars, which were built
in England. has twice been transport
other prosperous tours was visit to
Australia.
The show represents an actual in
yestment of s4,00O.000 Its daily ex-
penses average $500. Many small
cities, which must be played in order
to break the railroad jumps, repre-
sent an actual money loss owing to
the insufficiency of the population;
nevertheless the show is an assured
money-maker, and its annual profits
run into the hundreds of thousands.
The performance is given in three
rings, on two stages, in mid-air, and
upon an immense hippodrome track,
with seats for $4,000 spectators The
Barnum e Bailey circus is the only
one that provides actual chairs for
its reserved seats, and guarantees a
foot-rest seat to every purchaser OF
an admission ticket. 1t is also the
only circus that uses private boxes
on the road
The tents cover twelve acres OF
ground, and are said to be the largest
ever constructed for the purpose.
To carry all tbs paraphernalia
necessitates Ave long trains of double
length cars, To store the cars during
the day requires mile and quarter
| of siding Notwithstanding the enor-
muos labor involved in loading and
unloading these trains, nine-tenths OF
the cities are played for only one day
SO that, in the majority of instances
the canvas city is built and razed
every twenty hours.

(Staff Special.J

Wheeling, w Va. May S.-R. M.
Archer, sporting editor of the IntelIl-
gencer. and official scorer for Wheel
ing in the Central league, was ordered
off the ball grounds for the remainder
of the season on Saturday by the oftic-
ials of the local club.
They claimed that Archer had print
ed in his paper several false state
was that the players are laying down
this season on account Of the work of
the management. This angered the
officials, as they claim it is false. When
Archer took his seat in the press box
at Saturdays game three of the Off
cials walked up to him and demanded
that he resign on the spot his position
as officials scorer with the club, which
he did, and then told him to leave the
grounds for the remainder of the sea-
son. They said he would be allowed
to come to the games and pay his ad-
mission the same as any spectator.
Archer left the grounds and another
scorer was appointed. He returned
but with no connection with the club.
r. NJ. Archer, who was so summar
lily dealt with, printed in his paper G
story, that after the Stogies team had
won the pennant last year and the sea-
son had closed, the Wheeling team
which played it's last game in Canton,
were told on the way home that
grand banquet awaited their return to
Wheeling. But here's where the rub
comes in. The banquet never took
place and Archer claims that one of
the club officials said at the time:
"The players could go to the devil,
and they are lucky to get their salary
on the first and fifteenth of each
anyway. Ball players are not to be
treated like ordinary human beings as
about twO-thirds of them can't make
a decent living outside of baseball.
One of the hardest propositions that
the baseball managers have to con-
tend with IS TO keep the average base
ball player sober, and if they were as
expert in playing the game as they are
in getting advance money from the
club the average game of baseball
would not last over thirty minutes"
For the above statements alleged to
have been uttered by one of the Wheel
ing club owners, the players on the
Stogie team decided that they would
get back at the management and lose
as many games as possible at the be-
ginning of the season before the man
agement had a chance to release them
and by so doing, place the Stogies
permanently at the bottom Of the list
Yesterdays game did this very thing
and now it is claimed that the Wheel
ing players are happy and if they can

President Heenan, Of the Tots, has
standing offer in one of the papers
of Terre Haute that he will bet that
his team will take three out of the
series of four games with the Stogies.
He puts the least amount he will bet
at one hundred dollars.
Even the work of Umpire Wheelock
is disgusting and rank to the baseball
writer of the South Bend Times. He
has the following to say of his work:
Notwithstanding that to outward
appearances the work of Umpire
Wheelock was the best seen here since
the opening of the Central league sea-
son, two of his decisions yesterday
threw the game between South Bend
and Springfield open to protest. When
he silenced Hendricks on the coaching
lines in the first inning he exceeded
his authority and when he declared
he ruled adversely to the rules adopt
ed in accordance with the national
agreement
when Hendricks insisted that he
should be allowed to occupy the coach
ing box behind first at the same time
that "King" Kelly was doing stunt
in the rear of third he was perfectly
right and for that reason he should
not have been benched. The point in
question is covered by rule S."
The following message was received
today from Manager Hendricks today:
Il think that we have better team
than South Bend but this man Whee-
lock will not let us win. He is so rank
that people come to me and said that
they would not attend the games in
