BASE BILL.

The Makeup Of tho Clubs for the Year
18S3-Em. Gross, formerly of the St.
Paul Red Caps, Goes to Philadelphia.
The base ball clubs for the ensuing year
are about completed, and with New York
and Philadelphia in the league in the
place of Troy and Worcester, it will be
stronger than it was during this year. 1t
will be noticed that EN-. Gross, formerly of
the Red Caps, of st. Paul, has gone to
Philadelphia.
Chicago has dropped Nicol, her eleventh
man, and will, without doubt, take Ewing,
of the Worcesters. The Chicago Tribune
gives the following as the probable make
up of the other clubs:
The Providence team next year will
probably include of this years list Rad
bourn, Start, Farrell, Denny, York, Hines,
Gilligan and Nava, with the addition of
Richmond and Irwin, of Worcester,
why have already signed. George Wright
will retire permanently from the ball-feld,
and Ward, one of the best men Providence
ever had, is inclined to do the same thing,
though it is probable good salary will
tempt him to change his purpose, and it
would not be surprising to see him with
Cleveland next year.
Boston will retain Morrill,, Burdock, SUIT
ton, Horning, Deasley, Bufinton, Rowen,
and prObrbly Whitney, and will place
Dickerson in centsr-feld in place of Hota-
ling who goes to Cleveland.
Buffalo keeps Foley, Richardson. Gal
vim, Rowe, Force, Brouthers and ORoruke,
and has secured George Shaffer, of Cleve-
land, as a fielder. What will be done in
way of change pitcher and catcher is not
yet known.
Detroit wisely sticks to Weidman, Ben
nett, Trott, Wood, Hanlon and Farrell, of
this years team, and will very likely re-
gain Houck for short field and get Dorgan
for right field-both of which black-listed
players have been restored to good stand
ing. A change pitcher and second base
man will be needed to bring Detroit up to
grade.
Cleveland will make few changes save in
the outfeld, which sadly needed reorganiz-
ing. Mccormick, Briody, Phillips, Dunlap,
Glasscock, aud Muldoon will remain, while
Hotal1ng and Evans will take care of centre
and right fields, and Ward may turn up as
change pitcher, leaving left field yet to be
provided for.
New York and Philadelphia, the new
league members who are to be admitted at
the December meeting in place of Troy and
Worcester, are certain to have strong teams.
John Clapp, Hankinson, and O'Neill, of the
present team, are sure to remain, and it is
not unlikely that Keefe, Connors, Holbert,
and perhaps one or two more Troy men will
be transferred to the metropolis, which, in
such an event, will be hard place to cap
ture games from.
Philadelphia has stolen march on
Providence and secured Gross, late of the
blacklisters, as catcher, and Stovey, of
Worcester, and one or two other 6rst-class
league men are also booked for the Quaker
City.
Altogether the prospect is excellent for
eight exceptionally strong teams next sea-
son. As predicted some time ago in the
Tribune the American association has
made no serious inroads upon the playing
strength OF the league clubs. In every
instance where q league player was in
duced by false representations and absurd
promises to give him work or his sigma
ture to an association club the player has
seen the folly of such q course and can
celed the bargain.
