TOLEDO, OHIO, June l3-The Toledo Base Ball
have accepted Offers In other cities. Stemmyer and
COOK are likely go to the Metropotans though they
a r,su an an oneT from Ghicago Faatz Ksrns Nc
OswegO, Sexton to Trenton, Morrison to Buffalo,
and Rainy 10 Hamilton, ont.
The complaint that outsiders are continually re-
secure better material for their nine IL because the
manager and directors are misery In the salaries
they offer. Such stuff lacks foundation, for The
SUNDAY HERALD personally has seen the offers that
Manager scanOn has made to players he desired to
secure for his team, and In every they were
very high In their figures, certainly half more than
the men we're really worth. All the Nationals need
at present IL one or more good cachers, for every
other position Is accepiably nlled by strong and
club gives its players are satisfactory 10 the men,
Tor since the incorporation Of the organization they
have never waited one day over the time for the
money that belongs TO them, and besides no fancy
prices are paid simply to be cut down by fines im-
posed for every trivial onense. The players all
concur IN saying that the club Is the hest they have
ever Played for that while the Manager IL strict aud
nrIn with them he is also reasonable. Every man
playing SO much for individual record, The best Of
discipline exists, and all ID serene and happy.
The Nationals returned 10 the city on Tuesday last
and met the famous Cincinnati team in an exhlb.
llon game. From the success of the Nationals with
other League and Association teams was expected
that an easy victory would be achieved over the WIS.,
nora Iuesdays game demonstrated forclbly 70 the
hackers oil The home team the uncertainty of base
ball. IL was expected that Barr, In the pitchers
box, would be The mountain IN the way OF the
queen CITY Sluggers, but the ease with which they
i1ainpled upon that mountain was painful TO gaze
AT, and dlscomfortng In the extreme to the ardent
supporters OF Barr Little need be said further than
the score was TO 2 In favor Of the Cnclnnatia,
though II should have been TO o, az two runs Sc
cured by The Nationals IN the last inning were the
gifts from the umpire. Barr gave the worst exhlbl-
lon OF pitching he has ever shown here; In fact, he
seemed TO lack control OF the ball, and at tunes was
many OF his errors were somewhat excusable on
account OIL the cratic pitching The rest Of the
played well, with the exception OF their batting, as
lhey were totally at sea with the delivery OF McCaf-
frey, the "1nfaiit Prodigy" II only shows that
every pitcher and catcher has his on days, and the
his friends believe him supreme. IfGagus OF Powell
had pitched against the Cincnnatis, and they had
Ddtted either VI them as hard they did Barr the
crowd would have hooted them out uf the box IN
either had been there "a different score would have
followed.
Umpire SULLIVAN, Of the defunct 4 nion Association

Mr.. White as lar as salary Is concerned. Mr.. White
denies the charge, and, II Is said, Will publish an
answer.
