day delighted with the brilliant prospects of the
National base ball club for next season. I've
are In the league, he said, ',just where We
wanted To be, and there we will stick"
"No, sir, We were accepted in I'M no5ody's plso,.

that Is all fixed. We will take Pro,idencr.
place and Pittsburg will succeed buffalo, We
were satisfied gil along that we were wanted.
The very fact that no league clubs attempted 10
secure our players was a significant fact oi their
desire 20 give us league protection. Nobody
ago, but I'll tell You. He wanted 20 learn What
men We would want nom the Providence club
when its players should be distributed. He
when he learned that the players we wanted

Is good enough for U.S. They done know how
TO play here. II is bad policy To make q man
play where he doesn't want 10. That's why we
don't care To have White back again. We were
not treated by the players OF last years team -

THE GROUNDS AND THE PRICE Oh ADMISSION.
"How about the price OF admission TO the Ne
tional grounds" asked the reporter.
I'VE favor the give-and-take plan" was the
reply, leach club TO depend upon its own tovs
TO sustain it. and there is no doubt that such q
plan will be adopted. In that case we viii
charge but twenty-five cents. That point
couldn't be decided at the league meeting be-
cause of the eight clubs represented only SIX
Will stick, and the two clubs that will mi the
list will have a say i'm the matter. That n "a
question for future decision, but am satisfied
IL will be all right"
"And the grounds!" suggested The srAR
man.
The Washington and Georgetown Railroad
company, said Mr.. Scanlon, will make u
great mistake If they do not enable US 20 keep
our present grounds. III buildings are erected
In the southeast corner, where lots are sold, we
could swing the grand stand around on the lss
street side by extending the grounds To the
west, and then bat directly east The buildings
would be In the extreme right field, and would
not interfere at all. There In plenty Of time to
settle such matters. We have won the main
tight We are in the league"
