WHAT WILL BE DONE.
II Il not yet known what effect this card win
have upon Mr. sperlng, nor is it known as yet how
many clubs viii sign the document. The Mutual
and Atlantic clubs have already refused to nave
anything 70 do with tue matter; but in all proba-
bnity majority OF the clubs in the association
VIII join rne Bostonians. There can be ques-
tlon IN regard to the Improperly OF Mr.. Sperng's
action; but 1t Is very doubtful II he be forced
TO recede rom the position ne has taken. II the
Boston Club for instance, refuse, as they threaten,
- arrange any games with toe Athletics the
Athletics Will undoubtedly win the championship,
as the Bostonians viii be compelled, under the
rules, to forfeit the Pnnadelphans the ten
games OF their series. In TACT, any club refusing
TO play the Athletics VIII forfeit their series. AS
1t stands It's pretty fsht, and the Atale Tics
evidently on top, although oY no means Ia. the
right. they have more moaey than any other
club 10 me country and therefore can proong the
fight wltn less Inconvenience tnan'can their opp0-
nenN.

sidered very proficient, and H0ldsWorth VIII again

ton OF short stop. Under this arrangement there
Is no reason why

better record thaa last year. They are All excel
lent oatters and their nedIng qualities are 100
well known TO require any comment. lhey have
at last determined 10 discard the green stockings,
aud III future VIII appear in chocolate colored
hose. Yesterday they went over TO the Capitone
Grounds aud had a practice game with tue Chel-
seas, OF Williamsburg. rne Union Grounds. al
