notwlthStanulng.

Of about 200 spectators. Every

The Columbus State Journal says that
he schedule prepared by the committee
1t Mansfield last week will have to have
| few changes made in it on account OF
conflicting dates, but this will be done
without changing the general outline OF

hat the committee did not see fit to give

'ew games during the centennial, but
he committee had hard task to per-
iorm and it would be cruel to roast them

The officials OF the Pittsburgh clnb are
pretty well satisfied that Mccormick
loes not intend playing with them this
season. Their men are ordered TO re.
port at 8 o'clock this morning, and all
have been heard from except 1.-THE great
man, TIe has been written to repeat
ndly, but has made no answer. Should

will probably go through the formality OF
laying him of with something less than
81, 900 salary SO they will be enabled to
keep him on the reserve lor the season
Of 1889. He has q big saloon business in
Paterson, N. j., which he does not like
10 intrust to any one.
