THE ONLY NOLAN,
The Chicago Tribune is responsible for thu
following:

following:
'sIt is likely that The Only Nolan will be
expelled from the indianapolis club and from
the League He has been acting strangely of
late, and Thursday night refused duty on the
ground that his brother was dead in Paterson
N. j., and he wanted to 60 to the funeral. 1t
appears, from the best evidence at hand, that no
brother was dead or i'll, and if that be proved
Nolan will be expelled for refusing duty on
false pretenses Healy of Providence, pitched
for indianapolis here to day, and made a fine
display. He has been engaged by President
Petit to fill Nolan's place.
REDUCING LEAGUE EXPENSES.
The National League Of professional ball-clubs
held an important meeting at Providence, r. l.,
Saturday last, the conclusions of which have
now been issued to the country in the form of
an address. In this address it is set forth that
the seasons play will result in a general loss,
ard says:
1.-The league declines to continue business on
this principle, and takes this time to announce
to players that for 1879 the aggregate salaries
paid by each club must not exceed sum
which the experience of this year has shown
can be earned. 1t has not, however, after dis
cussion, seemed wise at this time to attempt to
restrict any association as to what it shall pay
any or all of the in its employ.
In the line of reduction Of expenses within
probable income the League has, at the meet
ing above dated, entered into agreement
which binds its mem bers to make the contract
season. of 1879 six months, and no longer, to.
wit: From April to Sept. 80, both inclusive.
1t is expected that by thus giving the player
fully half the year for the pursuit of any trade
| or business which he may have he will be able
to devote the other half to play at less cost to
| the clubs than when as in the past, he received
his entire support from them.
| By the terms of the agreement last named
| the clubs have bound themselves not to pay
money advances during the winter season, they
believing that this practice in the past encour-
aged idleness and discouraged some players
from following such business or trade as they
were fitted for"
