As briefly mentioned above Nolan
and Cusick, who recently left the Will
minston club, have returned to their
first love and have signifed their inten-
ton OF remaining with the club. This
action on the part of the two favorites
was hailed with delight by all base ball
enthusiasts in this city and instilled
them with renewed hope. BY the loss
of the best battery in the team and also
two of the heavy hitters BURNS and
Casey }, the Wilmington team became
demoralized, and were fast going to
pieces, but with the return of Nolan
and Cusick the boys will no doubt pull
up and show the Union clubs that they
can still play ball. Union contracts
we're signed yesterday by Nolan and
CusicS, and both players, in company
with President West, left for Washing
ton last night on the 9 o. o'clock train.
