EAsE-rA1.r. RUNNERS.
1t is understood that ut a special meeting
of the League last Friday at Saratoga en-
tended discussion was had lis to the measures
to be taken to relieve League clubs Of the
curse and the damage inflicted by drunken
duct on the part Of certain players, and that
partial list Of such players was made out,
to bt added to as occasion shall offer,
to be known as the "black list"
The players whose names are thus
far OIL this list are as follows: Dorgan,
Of Worcester and Detroit: Dickcrson, Of
Worcester; Gross, Of Providence; l.. Pike.
of Worcester; uouck, Of Detroit; Nolan, of
S,f
Detroit anti Providence; Fox, OF Boston.
The practical effect Of this action will be to
bar these players from engagement by amy
League Ci.b, and it will require the ,nani-
lnolts vote of the League at its annual scs-
sion in Chicago next December to relnstate
the parties placed. under the ban;
we believe, to decrease tile evils COM

llave no; reached SO aggravated stage Us 10

lnnsation. Tie club engaging Ills services
binds him in Il printed contract to refrain
