CHICAGO DAILY TRIBU
Jimmie Wood, the manager Of the Chicago nine.
The shortest way OF enlightening the public with
rerard to NEXT years baseball prospects is to
nroduce the conversation which occurred, as fol-
lows:
Reporter-I see, Mr. Wood, m the Clipper Of
to-day, that Force is counted in among the Ath-
letic players Of next year.
Jimmie Wood-That is = mistake. Force will
undoubtedly come to Chicago. He left here
perfectly satisfied, and on the evening Of bis
leaving Was offered the saloons on the grounds
With Zettlein.
Reporter-How shout Burdock?
Jimmie Wood-Well Burdock signed With four
clubs for 1875. He signed with Chicago in August,
to the effect that be would sign contract at
the end Of the season and it was agreed that, in
case no contract was forwarded to him, the in-
strument would be binding for ne1t year. He
ne1t signed with the Mutuals, then with the
Hartfords, and finally with the Athletics.
10 has concluded to play With the
Hartfords, from which Club he Ii draw
fne salary, but Cammeyer, manager Of the
Mutual Club, knowing that the Chicago contract
ia prior to ali other demands, insists that Bur-
dock ful6ls his contract with the Chicagos or
