three other clubs defeated yesterday ANYHOW
Manager Glasscock has promised to set an

Tbet's very safe promise, much like the
one local merchant made he re last year. He
offered baby carriage to the first Senator
making three home runs in one game on the
home grounds.
The Boston directors are making secret nego-
tations. according to a dispatch from Omaha
Tor the purchase of the entire team that PLAYED
In that city as member of the western associ-
atlon during the present season. This fore
shadows what the league will do in case the
Drotherhoods scheme materIalizes.
There Will be base ball team in this city
under any circumstances, even if it should be-
long to the eastern league. The click of the
turnstyie cannot be stilled in Washington
The Detroit journal saws: THE last week of
the season Is close at hand, and the people who
want a base ball club in this city next year will
DO well to turn out and see the few remaining
games Ii they show the managers that they
still want base ball there will be next season a
League or American association base ball team
In Detroit"
Two big base ball clubs got badly bitten this
season ON their investment in high-priced tai
ent. Kansas City let go 5000 big dollars for
Pickett and Sowders. Pickett took cold in his
throwing arm a week after he joined the Cow
boys, and has been laid up since, while Sowders
mas been drilled to all parts Of the lot by eyery
team in the association. Pittsburg invested big
money In Conway, and he has scarcely pitched
winning game for them this season. CONWAY
Is trying to bring his dead arm to life with
electric battery shocks.-ErchQnoe
Washington narrowly escaped a wound then
according to this, for Pickett was at one time
seriously thought of for third base cover.
