NOTES or THE GAME.
Cravcr is running 4 billiard-room iu Tror.
Petit still cling to bis idea OF New York
uine.-
The uniform Of the Troy Club will be gray in
color.
Tile New Beaforls will start for California
March l.
Edward Caskin, formerly Of the Rochesters,
will play in Troy this year.
Fulnler, the long haired second baseman and
shortstop is tan actawl" in Philadelphia
theatre,
A game was recently played on the ice in
Brooklyn, IN which the square bat was intro
dnccd- 1t seemed to work well enough.
Sullivan still continues to be the subject of
conflicting paragraphs. Tile latest news is that
he is not to be engaged BY the Syracuse Club.
An exchange remarks that although Sails
bury, OF Cleveland, hns retired from the profess
sion, he may make q few annual farewell tours.
+ Steve Bcl1an, third baseman for the Haymak-
crs, of Lansingburg, N. Y. in the DAYS when
the King brothers md t'Clippcr" Flynn we're
in their prime, is playing bull in Cuba
Morrill, will probably captain the Boston nine
next season. He is the senior member Of the
Diuc, and the on}Y man in the Club that PLAYED
with it in 1876 Jones will lead of at bat, with
ORourke next.
Manager Phillips, OF the Troy Club, has de-
clded to postpone active operations with his
nine until April l, and the men will report at
that time. They were to have gone into train
ing last Monday.
There is rumor afloat to the effect that tic
Albany Club, having been refused admission 10
the League, will migrate to Worcester, Mass.
There is little chance OF making money in
Albany at baseball this year.
A floating paragraph SAYS that "Capt Malone
has issued orders to the Roiyoke nine to abstain
frora the use OF liquor during tile playing sea-
son, under pain OF dismissal" Nov, ii the nine
would ouly issue similar orders to Malone,
everything would be lovely. -.
Denny Mack is in New Or1eans checking cot
ton On The levees. Dcnny. pfayed on the Ath-.
lctics when they won the championship, aud for
beating the Lord Baltimorcs he was pulled out
Of the omnibus in the streets OF Baltimore. und
had 'thead put on him. which was rough OH
Denny, as be is gentlemanly ball-player. His
little fair fouls are now barred out; but they
we're winning card when allowed Washing
ton Capital!
1t is said that the Syracuse Stars intend to
divide their playing equally between Rochester
aud Syracuse next season, and, judging BY the
personnel OF the men engagcd, the report seems
plausible. They are about on par with the
Rochesters OF last seasou-perhaps not quite as
good, but good enough to be beaten six eaa,es
out Of ten. It's talent Of that kind Rochester is
accustomed to and patronizes; anything better
it would be ut loss to Observation-Disclosures
Democrat.
t':rhe champion club Of San Francisco, the
Athletics" says the Gail, shave recently fitted
up IN superb style suite of rooms, Nos. 25 aud
this part Of the country have we seen nca1e1 and
more com1nodious apartments for club bpurposes.
The ceiling and walls have been frescoed, and
the floors are covered with Brussels CARPET. Tie
front room-32x4 feet-is fitted up with one Of
the best billiard tables, and this is means to
keep the boys ut home' at all times. We are
glad to see the leading baseball club taking
this step, and trust and the lpsser lights OF this
particular sport will emulate their example,"
Tie Cincinnati Commercial says: ssAt the
next League Convention, to be held within
few weeks at Buffalo, strong effort will ba
made by delegates from Cleveland, Syracuse,
Troy, and Buffalo to have the prices of admis-
sion to the games reduced from so cents to
s. cents, the visiting clubs to still receive Is
cents pcr head. Failing. TO make it general,
they will endeavor to nuke it optional with the
clubs.n To this Buffalo paper adds: 1t is to
be hoped for the interest Of the organizations
that the other delegates will sanction the rcduc-
tion or the optional p]an. Publ: opinion is
strong in Buffalo against exorbitant charges,
and unless the BufTalos are allowed to make
their own rates or the standard prices are low
cred, they will not par expenses next season."
