cured in past years by the American AS
ISOLATION is due to the number of news
paper writers who have been connected

Dalrymple is liable to do some of his
old-time slugging next season. The new

Cleveland has a population of 225, 900.
If Louisville and Pittsburgh with $4,000
less population to draw from can support
first class teams and make money, the new
club in the Forest City ought to be a grand

1t is limited that the Philadelphia club

Certain papers are endeavoring to rate
McKinnon as ShOmberg's inferior and roast
Manager Phillips for the exchange. The
Hustler has made few mistakes since his
connection with the Allegheny club, and

roasted"
Pete Hotaling is an old Cleveland boy,
and the chances are bright that he will be
on the new Cleveland club. Pete is a
splendid player, but he has a disposition
that has stood in the way Of his making a
grand success on the diamond. If he would
try to do the agreeable once in while he
would get along nicely.
Monroe Jones, who gave promise OF be-
| Ing a player of uneXceptional ability, l.
now engineer on the Grand Rapids and
Indiana Railroad. He has not played pro
| frsSionally since released by Detroit last
year. although he has quite a number OF
| tlatterin" offers II is rumOred, however,

indulges in practice at way stations.
The management of the Cincinnuti club
prefer 4 settlement with MI. IL, ', LuCiS
! to playing in ST. Louis without the ser,
vices of Tony Mullane, their crack pitcher,
AGAINST whom there is an Injunction OF
three years standing. Mullane was once 4
member of st. Louis Unions, and when he
Jumped his contract President Lucas got
out an injunction to prevent him from play
ing in the State. Since that time he has
not pitched Il game of base ball in st,
Louis.
The only change that Manager Watkins
now thinks of making in the playing po
sitions of the team for next season Is tc
have either Richardson or Dunlap play al
short. The one who does not play this
position will play second base, and Jimmy
Manning will play left field. Jack Rowe
will play principally behind the bat, and
il is expected that he will catch all of the
games in which Conway pitches. Rowe
has a great deal of faith in the young
pitchers abilities, and thinks that with
his coaching he will prove more effective
than he did last year.
