the Pacific coast. The party will stop a
week at Denver to play series of
games there with nine composed prin-
cipally of Western league players.
Ryan, of the Cbicagos. will pitch some
of the games for the Denver crowd, and
will probably go on to California with
the Boston party. Two other Chi
cago men were expected to go,
but they have failed in their
arrangements. The Boston aggrega-

Jan. 1. Clarkson is stopping, while in
the city, with his brother-in-law, Howard
Hill, on Hermitage avenue. When
asked last night his opinions about the
present base ball situation, he replied
that it was something of a puzzle to
him. He takes a most sensible stand in

studied the situation enough to learn
what will be best for his own intere SITS.

many desertions, or we shall see the end
of the new organization right at its very
beginning. For myself | I'm as said,
member of the brotherhood, but have
no grievance against the league. Base

reserve rule, against which so much is
said, is, to be sure, dscouraging regu-

Ward will admit himself. it is the back
bone of the league. The classification
and sales systems. however, are not
