SMITH AND REECE
FOR A SQUARE DEAL

Commissioners Smith an d
Reece, it seems, are not being
considered in the important
moves which are being made
relative to the reorganization
of the city commission. This is
a danger Gus move and will not
work. These men were elected
and received more votes than
any mem Der of the new COM
mission, except Mr.. Hamilton,
who was Loyalty supported by
the Reece-Smith-Edm ands COM
bination. Mr.. Ha milton will
commit suicide if he should be-
come inimical to Reece and Smith
The most outrageous thing is
the attempt to make all the i'm
portant appointments with a
combination exclusive of the two
commissioners receiving the next
highest vote, and further to take
the police department from the
present commissioner and place
it under the mayor. Discord has
set in. Reece and Smith will
never be run over or ignored
and the men who are attempt
ing to do so had better change
their siege guns. If this fight in
the council starts again like it
did four years ago and pro-
ceeded up to date, the people
will get up petition and put
the "darned" old form out of
business-and that quick.
Hamilton, remember your
friends.

AT last 1t has been officially announced that Wheeling IS to have
an organized baseball team. and be one of the eight clubs of the old
central league. Back home, is the way the local fans will look at the
situation The Stogie crew will be there at the opening Of the season
and although there will be no pennant raising festivities, there will be
plenty of happy, enthusiasm, inspiration and general allarou-nd
pleasure among the boys, and in fact, the young and old, male and,
female.
Wheeling was. up until a few years ago. one Of the best baseball
cities in minor league baseball There is no reason why il should not
again be placed in that class The prospects are bright, and those a.
the helm of the club, in its embryo stage, feel confident that the people
will again rally to the standard and pull for the team that will be re-
sponsible for placing the city back in its old position
There IN many things yet to be done to complete the organiza-
ton. but suffice il TO say, that the team $ a reality and the bells may
ring and the whistles may blow, as the news is authentic, and nothing.
resembling a stumbling block, is in the way. The work has been done,
application has been made to the Central league magnates the place
has been granted by them, and the local hackers have accepted. The
necessary forfeit will be posted Immediately, and on March 1, Wheel
ing will be officially proclaimed as one of the Central league clubs.
