The Columbus Club has not yet engaged its players,
| but VIII announce them shortly.
The Association felt itself aggreved at the treat
ment 1t received from the older body, and
| II bad light to such feeling, rs there
Is no doubt it had been badly used by the
| League. During the past season that orgaui-
cation has done everything In its power u break down
It's young rival and while All Is fair in love aud war,
yet its action In inducing players to break contracts
was deSpicable as well ms suicidal. one thing that
The Association particularly took umhrage at was the
Ignoring of tho Associations black list. ''Iit for
tlt' was the motto that ran In the minds of the di-
rcCtors, and IL resolved pass resolution that
all back-stcd players of the League, except such
were expelled for 'crookedness namely, Hail, Dew
lin, Nichols, and Craver should lie eligible 10 play
honorable players in any Association club, and fur
ther. that all contracts with such players be
solved that the constitution I've amended to that
effect at the December meeting. The players
thus reinstated are Jones, McKemnon, Baker, Ger
hardt, Crowley, Nolan, Gross, DiCkersOn, CaSkins,
lIonck, Fox, Pike, and Mike Dorgan.
All the renstated blaclt-listed players
were placed on the list originally for drunkenness
and other minor OlGenses. These oieuS"s that
could be condOned but none Of the ''crooks have
had, or will have, the slightest chance of being
habilltateh by either Lclgu" or Association. Dis
honest ball playing Is something that cannot he
looked. and those caught In the act are ruined, So
Tar as baseball playing Is concerned. The patrons Of
the game have II thorough cuntempt for them, and
even their former companions shuu them ana
ashamed TO be seen In their Comp1ny.
The antagonism between the American
Association aud the League bids air to be carried
a considerable extent, and is assuming rather
serious aspect The American Association clubs VIII
bring suit In every Instance wherein PLAYERS break
their contracts with them and Join The League.
There are number Of such on the carpet at
present. and unless the two leading professional as.
SociatlOns come to Kind Of understanding
there Will be considerable wrangling, and ball play
Ing VIII suffer thereby.
ATuatics.
The Analostans have virtually deserted
their mansion FOR this season, but the racing com.
mlttec promise better showing for the club In the
spring.
Hoffman has left his float up stream and
will not return until spring unless some of the menu
beers Of the COumblas, POtomacs, or Anlostaus and
their friends desire to have an oyster roast in which
case lie Will assist them. West Point may have had
its Benny Haven, but the Potomac River uarsnen
are proud Of their Bobby Hoffman, who is equally
as famous IN history.
