WHEELING AND ERIE
STRONGEST In EAST
NEW TWIRlER WILL AZ
STRENGTH HERE.
10 Give Us a Winner-Other
Clubs Strengthening.
(By Multi

All that the Stogies need now to
finish one. two. three. is a winning
twirler. and both Manager Anderson
and Business Manager Robinson are
securing the woods to find such
player. Indications are that before
the club returns home this badly
needed twirler will be in the Smoke
ranks and then watch us get sweet
revenge from the Steelmen, and incl
dentally ascend TO the top rung OF
the ladder
When Wheeling meets Erie next
week and the other clubs change. the
eastern division will have played
around and IL will be possible then
TO get a good line on the relative
strength OF the clubs II looks very
much as though Wheeling and Erie
will battle IL out for the eastern
honors. Youngstown Is now leading
the Smokes. but Philips crew out
tucked us in the series and things
will be different when the Ohioans
come here unless some misfortune
overtakes the locals. youngstown
cannot be classed with Wheeling with
the exception OF the twirling stan.
Now that our stan is TO be strength
ened and Hammond has been re-
leased. the former o. & p. club will
find IL hard to take one out OF three
games from the locals.
More Than Even.
The club is going good now and
Anderson will come home with moth
ing under an even split n the tickle
goddess OF luck does not perch too
strongly on the Canton club As Il
stands now Wheeling has won two
and lost two on the road. with two
more games to play. At least we
ought TO get an even split with Bemis
and Young twirling. Peggy will prob
ably work to-day and should win II
he shows the form he did against
youngstown. Then Il will be up to
'Cy TO bring home the bacon.
The Smokes open here with Erie
on Sunday afternoon. Special train
over the Pennsylvania will leave for
Richland park at 2:15. II will be n
series Of games worth going miles TO
see.
Erie Leads.
The Sailors looked and were very
weak az the start OF the season. How
ever. Manager Gilbert got busy and
secured a team composed practically
OF big league material. These PLAYERS
come from the ST. Louis club and
they are setting the Central league
on fire. The Sailors had little trouble
in defeating the Steelmen yesterday.
incidentally they beat the mighty
Mosely. Philips best twirler. They
Will az least cop two out OF three
from Youngstown, and n Wheeling
takes two more from Canton the
