1t is learned from reliable source that
the best Of harmony does not exist among
the st. Louis players. ONiell has an
nounced that it is his last season with the
Browns, and Latham would also like to
part company with the champions OF 1888.
The reason for the dissatisfaction is at
tributed to Comiskey's tyrannical ways.
Despite the many statements that have
been made to the contrary, Manager Gift
ford SAYS the true cause of the failure OF
the Louisville Club is due to spirit OF
dissatisfaction among the players. He
learned from some of the men that they
were not contented because they did not
receive salaries in proportion to the value
of their services.
Manager Phillips states that Mccormick
will join the Pittsburg Club on its first
Eastern trip. He will go into practice at
once, and do his beat to get into playing
form. Mccormick had just returned from
Clifton when Manager Phillips met him,
and he was about $500 winner on the days
racing. He said there was no truth in the
report that he had been trimmed by the
Guttenberg sharps, as he had his eyes open
to some of their methods.
The Cincinnati management has had up
wards of half dozsn-offers for the release
of Kappsl since the season opened, and the
only one that was seriously considered was
the Que by Kansas City, they agreeing to
give s.. 900 for his services. 1t was at this
time that Lyons, of the Athletics, was in
iured, which greatly weakened the club,
and Mr. Stern, fearing that similar Ca
lamity might befsll the Cincinnatis at any
time, decided to retain Kappol.
Up to date the Cincinnati Club has made
more money than for any corresponding
period last season. President Won der Abe
also claims that the receipts of the st.
Louis Club have bsen larger. The same,
however, cannot be said of Louisville, as
Manager Clifford states that the st. Louis
Club was forced to accept the guarantee in
all but one of their games in the Falls
City. The small attendance, however,
may be attributed to the poor showing of
the club.
Manager Kelly, of the Louisville Club,
said recently that the Cincinnatis would
win the psnnsnt, and he would be glad to
see them do 90 as long as Louisville could
not capture first honors. They would have
won the pennant last season had their
pitchers been in good shape at the begin
ming, as they have the best fielding club
| in the country. Some one suggested TO
Kelly that the Reds had no pitchers to
stack up sgainst the Athletics. That's
all right" said 'Kell;" none of them
will be able to do anything with young
Wan. and when the weather improves FL
mer Smith will fool them all"
Wonder if Horace Phillips isn't tired OF
some of the League back number stiffs he
has been engaging for the Pittsburg team?
Viau has pitched in fourteen games for
the Reds this season, including his South
ern trip, and has not yet sustained a single
defeat.
Jim Mccormick, the Pittsburg pitcher,
is still in the race-horse business. He will
have two of his horses at the Latonia races
next week.
Manager Schmelz is growing fat. He is
one of the best winners in the business,
and after q brilliant victory puts on an
angelic smile.
John Kelly will soon begin organizing
his teams for Hot Springs for next winter.
He has engaged suitable piece Of ground
for the park.
John Kelly would like to 90 back to UNI
piring Both the League and American As
sociation would like to have him. Kel is
lone of the finest"
Peter Gladiator Browning has faithfully
kept his blue ribbon pledge since he signed
it. Tom Ramsey has not. The Toad has
very little regard for his word or anything
else.
There will soon be break in the Western
League, and Sylvester, the manager of the
Lincolns, says it will n OF be long before
there will be only six clubs in the organi-
zltion.
Just think of a $40, beauty being
paralyzsd with fine. Morrill, turned the
trick. He touched Clarkson's pocketbOok
the other day for cool $50 for drinking
glass Of beer.
Carpenter leads the batting Of the Gin
cinnati Club, while Nicol is close behind
him. The work of the latter with the
stick comes something in the way Of sur
prise, as he was never regarded as heavy
batter.
Pitcher Staley, of the St Louis Western
League team, will probably bel transferred
to the Browns before long. The younger
organic ltion will be placed in the nine hole
without his services, as he is their crack
pitcher.
Umpire Dosscher says that the AEsocia-
ton clubs pat up much more spirited
ysme of ball than the League teams; that
there is twice as much base running in
the games of the younger organization, and
that they are far more difficult to umpire.
MEG eachy hes batted luckily and fielded
perfectly since he Joined the HOLSTERS.
When one considers the attitude struck
by most of the Philadelphia players when
OF the plate it is mystery how they ever
manage to make hit. Farrar, Anderson,
Mulyey, Fogarty and Bastian ali crouch
and eramp themselves ss though attacked
with the colic.-Detroit Free Press.
Silver Flint laid Truthful Jim" Mutrie
out in good shape at the ball park last
Saturday. 1t happened in this way:
Roger Conner had just muffed o fly ball
when Mutrie remarked: "It's d funny;
we pay lot of dubs large salaries to play
bali and they play like lot of kids. They
ought to be back driving car or truck or
shoyelipg coal" Then Silver opened mp.
'where would you be lift wasn't for those
car drivers? You never made dollar in
your life, only out Of base bal, and of all
the rotten managers You take the cake.
