The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-07-22

rs III Dunlap mas sharp eve on the boys
who are looking for chance to get even
with him. They commenced to try their
funny business on Beckley at Chicago,
but he gave some Of them the shoulder in
way that made the others more eau
tious. There isn't man in the club who
wouldn't be as dirty as Arson, if he knew
how, and they learn fast. They play to
make runs fairly if they can, If not, to
make runs any way"
JOHN NJ. WARD is quite anxious to be
released from New York. His reasons
are: II want to remain about another
season on the diamond field NY idea is
to get hold of good club and put some of
my ideas into effect. | am confident that
they are right, but thus far have had no
opportunity to prove it. Still the world
moves, and | can note some progress to
some of my ideas. Let me try the cap
tanning and give me exclusive control OF a
good club for year, and if l cannot in
crease their efficiency it is because my
theory is wrong"
The Browns are not in good shape.
Comiskey's right leg, from the ankle to his
hlp, is nothing but mass OF raw flesh, the
SKIN having been peeled right OIL from
sliding TO bases. Robinson's right arm is
all torn and skinned from running the
bases. Milligan's thumb is badly split.
White, the new man recently signed, is
sick and cannot do himself justice, and
Mccarthy has just recovered from severe
attack of illness, which kept him confined
to his bed several days.
CAPT. ANsoN gives daily instructions to
his colts on the position they should take
IA N hot ic uaia
batting. Yesterday he was giving Farrell his
lesson. The colt couldn't place his feet in
the manner that Anse wanted him to. The
big captain had just seized Farrell's ankle,
intending TO place the foot in position,
when Brynan broke the big captain all up
by shouting: "Hold on, cap, his feet are
not mates. Chicago Exchange.
PFEFFER, Williamson and Burns have
signed with Spalding for the Austrian
trip. The contracts date from the close of
the league season, TO April 10, 1889. 1t
is thought that one or two OF the other
Chicago players will go, probably Van
Haltren and Daley. Fogarty, OF the Phil
adelphia club, is also spoken Of, and Col
Inns, Of the Louisville club. John Ward
and others OF the New York club have
been spoken to.
PRESIDENT BYRNE, while in Cincinnati,
stated in most positive language that
Brooklyn would not Jump to the league,
but would remain where II is Just so long
as the association remained intact Well,
il Cincinnati should 70, or some other
weak club drop out, the association would
no longer be intact" and Brooklyn
could take the leap in good faith.
"DIRTY" ball playing, says the Sporting
Lite, seems to be in vogue more this sea
son than ever before. Just why one ball
player should try 10 injure another simply
10 advance his team is not altogether clear,
for the same thing is liable TO come home
on the player practicing IL. The sooner
such contemplate work is stopped the
better 1t will be for the game.
EWING. OF the Yew Nork club, up TO
Saturday, had caught nineteen consecu-
tive games. His back-stopping throw
ing, batting and base-running have been
OF immense service TO New York, and II
he keeps IL up, and the other men con-
tinue their good work, the club ought TO
be quite at, or pretty near the top, at the
finish.
THE Cincinnati Enquirer says 1.-THE
Athletic team is probably the strongest
batting combination in the country, and
as fielding and baso-running nine they
are not slow. The club is strong enough
TO win games on their merits, without
adopting the bulldozing and Safeguarding
methods they use toward umpircs."
CART. ASsoS has done as much as any
man living TO make baseball square sport
Men like Daniels and Valentine need call
ing down at times The trouble seems TO
be that there are not enough captains like
Arson, who know the rules and when 10
kick for what belongs TO them. -BOson

Says the Boston GioJe.-"The market Is
overrun with ball players. Perhaps there
are ZOO drawing salaries for playing tho
game, and vet Il is safe TO say that there
are not over fifty really first-class ball play.
eB today in this country that can demand
5000 season"
CoMIsEEY regrets the loss OF Curt WEIGH
more than any OF the high.priced stars
released by Won der Abe. The latter
would like WEIGH back, but Manager
Sharsig will entertain no proposition.
Chris could have spared o'Neil better
than WEIGH.
Or the Pittsburg batsmen Dunlap has
played In ~ games without a hit, Maui
n, Coleman IL, Knchne IL, Dalrymple 10,
Sunday IL, Carroll IL, Smith %, Cleveland
4 and Beckley 2. No wonder Pittsburg
can get no higher in the race.

championship clubs. Foutz, Bushong
and Caruthcrs were with the Browns,
Burlock and Radford were with the Bos.
tons In 1881, and O'Brien played with
Denver the year Il won the pennant.
