The presdentof the base ballclub in St.Paul
says he is receiving a bat full of letters every
day from base ball ayers who desire to
come to St. Paul. One curious thing is that
eight or ten of the letters state that the writer
of each caught GARRISON last year.
1t looks now as though St. Paul would be
left out in the cold. A circuit has been
formed, but the number of clubs is an odd
one, and unless the eighth club can he found
it will be necessary to drop st. Paul. 1t will
be great disapl ointment to the base ball
men of this city If the club here is shut out,
and To avoid this misfortune those interested
are doing all in their power to keep the club
in the league.
The Buffalo club is made up of the follow
ing: James F. Calvin, John Conner, and
Vim. T. Serard. pitchers; John c. Rowen,

Lille, right field. Hengle n in st. Paul and

MINNEAPOLIS WANTS TO GET INTO TIE LEAGUE.
At Indianapolis 1t has been decided to or
ganlze western base ball league. Seven
cities were represented, among them being
81. Paul. Through some oversight Mime
apolls failed to send delegate, although a
club had been organized, and that
too with the intention of securing
membership in the league. 1t
is learned that there is some difficulty in
organizing circuit from the fact that at the
meeting au odd rumber Of clubs is repre-
sentrd, and il is said that in case they can
not get one more club, st Paul Will be left
out That Minneapolis under fair circum-
stances, is an excellent base ball city, no
one will gainsay, and it is seemingly in the
interest Of the other clubs in the proposed
league, consequently, that this city be taken
in, thereby making the number eight.
