THE DETROITS TO REMAIN IN THE LEAGUE
CLEVELAND ADMITTED TO THE AMERICAN
Observation-Disclosures CITY 10 BE LEFT OUT
IN THE COLD.
President Watkins, o. the Detroit ball club,
stated to the American association yesterday
that the Detroit club would remain in the
league, as the club had received concessions
which would enable it to retain its position. It
is said that these concessions are agreements on
the part of the principal league clubs to give q
simple guarantee. This report is discredited
here, although President Spalding, OF the Chi
cago club, acknowledges that his club has made
o special arrangement with the DetrOits. Ii the
agreement is correct 1t will not make any diff
ference here as Washington is not included
troits are to remain in the league. The Ameri.
can association yesterday decided to admit
Cleveland in Its fold, in preference to the Kan
made by the latter. It seems to be settled that
Kansas City will not be in the League next year.
1t is not a good ball town, and the expense OF
Crane, who started with the Nationals In the
early part of last season, has been signed as
pitcher by the BostOns.
