The League balls for 1879 will be no live
lier than those used last year.
Manning of last years Bostons, is with
the Albanys this season.
Lip. Pike is with the Springfield Club,
and Ferguson of the Ohicagos, is Captain
of that team. If he keeps Lip. s lip but
toned he will do well.
Pierce Butler leaves next week for Ne
vada, where he will accept position as
book-keeper for silver mine. Pierce will
take ball and bat with him. and teach the
natives how to play our National Game.
The League managers for this season will
be Jim White, for Cincinnati; Harry
Wright, for Boston; Hubert, for Chicago;
Clapp, for Buffalo, Casey, for Cleveland;
Phillips, for Troy; George Wright, for Prov
idence, and - for Syracuse.
Capt. Malone has issued orders to the
Holyoke players to abstain from the use OF
liquors from March 1st until the time of the
contract is up, and any violation will be
considered cause for the culprts dismis-
sal. Not bad idea.
Spalding's Baseball Guide, for 1879, is
out, but has not yet reached Cincinnati.
Hawlcy is looking for its arrival daily. 1t
is neatly printed book of one hundred
and twenty-eigbt pages, and is said TO be
the largest and most complete handbook of
the game yet published. 1t is the official
publication of the National League, and
contains the constitution, playing rules,
averages, ETC.. as prepared by the Secretary
of the League.
The stockholders OF the Worcester Base,
ball Club have elected the following off.

antee OF s., 800 has been subscribed. Con
tracts have been forwarded to Weaver, Ben
nett, Hefer, Creamer, Whitney, Mutrie
Mckelvy, Leighton Knight and Bushong,
and it is hoped TO have the entire nine
ready to take the field for active service the
10Th, and struggle for the International
championship.
schafer is in indianapolis, westward
bound.
Joseph Dion's health is so bad that he
will not be able to appear in either of the
coming tournaments at New York.
Wnlta, ~ DaJf
and Jerry Sullivan, of Fall River, will soon
play match of two games for 500.
1t may be taken for granted that Schaefer
will not figure in either Of the coming
tournaments The lists are open to him as
to every other prominent player, but he is
under contract not to play except as re-
euired by those who employ him; and it is
not to their interest that he should take
part in either tourney, more especially the
second.
The dropping of the rule as to counting
Caronis in ones, twos and threes will shut
out that class of players who are feeble at
direct caroms, but pussess mighty power
when premium is placed upon combna-
ton cushions. For this reason, if for nu
other, the rail-nursers are likely to advo-
cate the abandonment of rule designed to
encourage playing away from near the
cushions.
Randolph Heiser is perfectly satisfied
with the new rule, and few days since
made run OF 23O points in Boston. He
commenced with an open play of about
thirty-five points, then getting the balls on
the left rail, beyond the bar line, he worke
them up the rail until he turned one hun.
dred points. He returned on the rail- came
out near the lower left hand bar line, and
once more played the balls toward the up
per left hand corner. He scored 230 points,
and finally missed on nasse shot
1t is generally believed that the new rules
will have no damaging effect on the young
players, and when Schaefer, Slosson and a
few others have had little practice they
will make just as big runs as ever.
