Boston, April g. The biggest sensation
in base ball circles for 1889 comes with the
announcement that John Morrill, and Wise,
of the BOstoas, have been sold to Washing
ton. This is regarded as part of q gigan-
tic deal, which will probably involve the
disposition of Short Stop John Ward and
settle the question of where that player is
to work this season. The release of Nor
rill and Wise was purchased at noon TO-
day. II is understood that Morrill, will
captain aud manage the Washington team,
Mr. Hewitt giving him full charge. Sam
will probably play at short for Boston.
and Mike Kelly captain of the nine.
As to what is to follow many rumOrs are

DRY previously set forth, that the FACT of
Morrill, aud Wise going to Washington
means that John Ward is to come here
This report does not wholly accord with
the understanding that Kelly is to captain

condition, be agreeable to the mvch want
