FACTS AND FIGURES.
The Chicago Club will end the present yea
very satisfactorily as regards the financial prob
lem. They have already renewed their lease O
their grounds for 1876, and paid down in cash II
advance the full gum called for by the lease
$500.
It is now said Hthat the Athletic players ART
trying to run Knight and Coons of the nine b,
not supporting them in = proper msnner. 1
didn't look that way vhen they beat the Chica
gos Friday.
Tho last candidate for support il the Bu1Gng
ton N. j., professional club. They claim
plenty OF backing in financial waY, and ea7
they have engaged Knight, the phenomenon, aud
Coons his catcher.
Clapp has been engaged for Harry Wrights
Boston team for 1875 to support Josephs, and
his contract hiss been signed With the consent Of
the Athletics. The latter claim to have engaged
Snyder Of the Philadelphas to take Clapp'e
place, but, that individual having already agreed
to so to Louisville, there may DO trouble ahead.
The New York World gives the names Of tue
probable nine OF the New York Club for 1875,
and says that no engagements will be made until
after Nov. l, and that the members will be all
new players. Tbs namea given are certainly IN
known to fame. Tho eame paper gives the
mines for 1876. based on the publication in these
cotumus, but changed 80 as TO be grossly in
correct.
4 letter from the Dos:ons says that McVey
wants it distinctly understood that be Is the real
and only phenomenal pitcher Of the yesr. In q
game with tue Athletics he pitched three in-
and nY.1u tuy7 i+u In
him, wheEeupon he assumes dignity and looks
down on Jcsephs and Knights, and ali the rest
Of them, saying that he is the only real Simon
pure.
4 correspondent senda the following list Of
the New Haven Club TOR 1876 to supplement
those published several weeks ago: mckinley,
G.: Nichols, p; Cassidy, b.; Somerville. b. !;
an. C. f.; Addy, Z. t.: Trenwith, sub. Fulmer
is TO be Captain. The only fault to be found
with the list is that includes Addy; who will play
in Chicago next year.
At the close Of the seaeon Wood. Hastings.
Golden, Quinn, and Peters will return here :;
Deyln will winter in Philadelphia, and Hines,
Bielasla, and Warren will go to Washington.
From hare Hastings will 90 to Bloomington IN
til Jan. l. when both he and Devlin will re-
port at Louisville for next year. Peters will 20
70 st. Louis about Nov, L and will be married
there Nov. Is.
There seems to be much grief in the Athletic
Club At the prospect Of losing Anson, who is
coming *o Chicago next year: Not long ago the
friends OF the Club united in petition to him
to stay N Philadelphia. sud put tho request in
the form of subscription aggregatlng q constd-
erable sum. Anson, while appreciating the COM
pliment, informed the Committee who waited on
him thst he had agreed to come to Chicago, and
Rhould do 30.
The Rev. Il. J. Parker Of Pontiac. Rich. is
.fnI{ tn In cfr kn~. bali 1rfn
the Detruit Neeos suggests that he will make
good angel, as he is used to HEong cut On fy."
TO whict it may be added that the crack nine to
which tie Rev. Mr.. Parker formerly belonged
has resolved itself into four lawyers, tHo min
listers, two reporters. and one member Of the
State Senate Of Arkansas Il they had only
stuck to the game they might have arrived At
some sort Of emiuence before now, and hAd
money in their pockets.
