Ii is abont time that something was be-
I ing done to resuscitate our base ball 1850
c.ation. which SO present shows little sigDs
. Of life. The guarantee Of 81 ,OOO which wa
withdrawn at the end Of last season, will
/ have 90 be deposited with Secretary Waite
| by January 10, and it is doubtful II the
/ time will be extended. II the guarantee Is
not put up by that date the franchise will
he forfeited Il is also unfair TO keep the
players on the reserve lis. If there is not to
/ be a team here and spoil their chances Of
signing elsewhere I'd. SHERWOOD has
/ been dickeripg with several good men, and
/ If they are scared, together with some OF
! the cd players, there is not the slightest
doubt that a good team could be selected.
Bot it will be necessary for some move 70
be made at once go as 10 let the other teams
see thst Hamilton means business. There
arc plenty Of good players on the market
now, but there is no telling how soon they
will he secured by other teams.-HqmRtoH
