OVER $4,000
WORTH OF BASE BALL STOCK SOLDAL-
READY-MEETNG LAST MCiT.

Manager Henry is meeting with
deserved success in the sale of the
Point Pleasant-Gallipolis base ball
stock and reports that over 500. 90
worth has been subscribed for. 1t is
reported that President Ingels ha,
promises from Gallipolis parties for a
good number of shares and from the
present outlook, it is not going to be
any trouble to sell the entire issue by
the time the season opens.
Quite number from here were
over at K4nauga Sunday, viewing
the proposed grounds and all of them
speak very highly of the site, saying
that it is an ideal spot and as level as

At a meeting held last night, in
Gallipolis, it was practically decided

ant instead ofat Kanauga.
There is objection to Kanauga be-
cause it is feared Sunday base ball
will not be tolerated on this side O.
the river. The GallipOlis contingent
don't believe that Sunday base bali
would be interfered with. AS there
is bill pending in the legislature,
however, to legalize Sunday ball,
those who favor Kanauga will proba-
bly, seek to defer action on the Sc.
lection of a ball park. 1t tseems ap-
parent to all that Kanauga is the
proper place to get the biggest
crowds, if Sunday games will be per-
mitted.

HOOKING VALLEY
AND K.&M. CHANGE HANDS -TAKEK
NBYC.&0.

Local railroad circles were advised
yesterday that negotiations practical,
ly have been closed for the sale OF
Hooking Valley properties and that
the plan finally agreed upon is for ~
partition of the system between the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Lake.
Shore and Michigan Southern. IT'S
said an agreement has been reucfsets
whereby the Hooking Valley proper
will 90 the Chesapeake and ohioanGK
the Lake Shore will secure the TOfe-
do and Ohio Central, while the twop
companies will join in a commoys
ownership of the Kanawha & Michi-
gan. Thus will the constituent parts.
of the system be equitably divided
The deal is said to have progressed
50 far that an official announcement
may be made within week.
The proposed disposition of the
Hooking Valley will be effected in a
way harmonious with the view Ofthe
different interests involved, and the
action will clear up what has been y
rather difficult and embarrassing sit
uatiOn.
The negotiations for the sale ofthe-
road are said to have, been hastened,
by the litigation now pending for a!
dissolution of the Hooking Valley
system. Some months ago the Ohio.
Court issued and order directing the
REIMBURSEMENT of the Toledo & Ohio
Central on the ground that its con
troll by the Hooking Valley was con-
trary to law in that the Toledo and
Ohio Central Road was parallel &c,
and competing with other lines OF
the Hooking Valley. The execution,
of this order Sas stayed pending ar
gument on the appeal. This has
been set down for June. Meanwhile
the negotiations for the sale of the
Hooking Valley properties have been,
pressed forward with view to con
cluding the deal before the hearing
on the appeal in this suit. With the
proposed petition of the system ef-
fected, there will be no longer any
ground for the action which has been,
pending.
Arrangements of the deal has IN
volved the consideration of very deli.
cate matters involving the rights and
good will of other roads. This phase
of the situation has presented numer-
Gus difficulties, but these are said to,
have been smoothed away and con
clusiOn of the transactions in the
near future is a virtual certainty
