strike the critics of that CITY as being a
phenomenal pitcher Nolan's reputation
in California as pitcher has also been con-
siderably impaired by the ease with which
the Eastern mines have punished his de-
livery.
The Nationals of Washington, D. c.,
closed the past season with a handsome
balance in their favor. The present direc-
tors have opened subscription books for

The New York Clipper publishes q
lengthy article this week, from which we
extract as follows; "Once more has the
time c'me for reviewing the work of the
past professional season. We
desire to state al the outset that nothing
has occurred tn change our views in regard
to the oft-statei fact that there is ample
room in the professional baseball world
for the Joint existence of b. til the League
and National ASS citations, and that it is tt
the interests of the professional fraternity
at large that both should not only exist
but that each should be governed with the
view of conserving the interests of all. and
not as rival or antagOnistic organizations
The necessity for the existence Of tn lies
in the fact that one of them has separate
and distinct class of membership from tn,
other. The League Association can onl,
include in its list of membership the most
wealthy of the stock company professional
clubs; and therefore. were there M othe
ASSOCIATE n of its kind in existence, the
large majority Of the professional clubs
W uld be without any controlling organiza
tion to govern them in which they them
selves would have representative voice.
