IN
SHAPE To PLAY
Situation In tho Ohio Valley Sttn Scri-
GUS and Games May Not Be Staged
This Week. =,

Judging from all reports from the
health authorities. it looks certain that
there will be no more games in this
city during the coming week. The
Spanish influenza still continues TO rule
tho situation. and Wheeling may be
forced to enjoy another blue Saturday,
Lipsly is endeavorrG to rcarranEe her
schedule, and for this reason cannot
give out possible opponent for this
week. She was TO have played Wells
willie last Saturday. but final arrange
ments were not to the liking of the
team. Wheeling high is scheduled TO
meet the fast Washington. Pa. high
school. and should the game be- played.
It will be one Of impostance. as the
Pennsytvanians trimmed the locals last
season. Martins Ferry was slated TO
knock off Salem last week, but tho
latter was inclined 10 stay away. Bel
laire, at the eleventh hour. cancelled her
tilt with Parkersburg. Both the Ohio
side teams arc having open days this
there, it may be possible that they will
play one another at League park. Cathe-
dral and Triadclphla will likely be held
up on account of the epidemic.
It is to be hoped that things clear
up q bit. for 1t will make 1t very hard
for the teams to get started right, and
with but few games TO play in No
,, vember the. season will be over. An
other week OF this will make matters
=. all the worse and the chances Of a most
glorious season turned into one Of
anxiety and dissatisfaction.
