they all disappeared to is another mys-

While '.he board OF public safety is
considering tho advisability of adopt

lock over these. They were compiled
by Mayor James II. Robertson, City

SOME BALL PLAYERS
HAVE BIG HEAD
THOSE WHO TRY TO DICTATE
SHOULD BE "FIRED.~
CAMEL Thinks He Has a Star Line
up--Pieifer Is Appointed Gen.
trai League Umpire.

The Wheeling champions of the Cen
trail league last year evidently think
Nhat because they won the pennant
that they are entitled to all the money
that the backeis OF the team made last
year. 1t is SAID that Manager Snriver
has no, yet signed contract and IS
holding out tor large increase In
salary and threatens TO quit baseball
If he don't get substantial increase
1t is not the desire OF the writer TO
knock any player in particular bus
in Shrivers case it suffices to say that
he certainly had what is known as
the big head" during the latter pare
of last season. The controversy that
he stirred up with President Carson
showed plainly the calibr OF the
Stogies' manager. Granting that he
comes to time and that he succeeds
in lining UP last years players, there
are bound to be some changes on thA
Wheeling team.
Spangler and Coggswell are no long
er tavori,es with the management be-
cause, it is alleged, they held up the
managers for considerable money in
the shape of presents last year. 1t
is known that Wheeling would like
to trade Coggswell to Canton and
there is possibility that Spangler
will go to Springfield. Second base
man McCommbs, Shortstop Vessel and
Third Baseman -eiters have sigl1-
fed their intention OF accepting terms.
IL is said that Price will be released to
Ielre Haul and that Outfielder Smith
viii also be put ON the market. While
the management of the Wheeling club
have the honor of holding the pen
nant and the gentlemen VINO are pack
of the team are no doubt among the
very besS baseball men in the country
and deserve great credit for the abso
manner in which they have maze
Wheeling good baseball city, these
gentlemen were imposed upon last
year by a team of bali players VINO
had less appreciation for the kind
ness shown them than the average man
has for a dog and the besl thing that
the Stogie management can do is to
kick such men as Spangler, Coggswell
and Ted Price off the team and let
them go where they please
While it is said that Co9gswell would
like to come to Canton, he couldn {
play with the Canton team if he play
ed for nothing. The coming season
will perhaps show lot of ball players
of the above stripe that the men who
put their money ir.o baseball are
going to have something to say about
how the club should be run. There
is strong feeling among a great many
magnates throughout the country tha.
If they experience the troutle with
players this season as they have in
the past, every minor league city Will
drop baseball for year and iea the
players dig out livelihood at some
other occupation for a summer and
then perhaps they will he ready TO
sign contracts at. reasonable figure
and behave themselves on and off
the ball field as would be expected OF
them were they employed al any other
occupation.

1t is not surprising that Representa-

just the same. Mr.. Welker seems to
