Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-05-20
Association Record.

The officials of the local team are still
what is termed hustling for pitchers. 1t is
understood that President Eimick will
leave for the East this morning to visit
Manager Phillips. Mr.. Nimick couldn't
be seen last evening. but one of his friends
stated that the Presidents trip is entirely in
the interest of the club.
There are various conjectures as to what his
definite mission is. One gentleman who claimed
to be well informed on the matter said: Il un-
derstand that the local officials are making in
quiries all around for pitchers. Mr., Nimick
has two or three on the list and all of them are
very highly spoken OF. 1 thInk that he will
either 60 to New Y ork and have a talk with
Manager Phillips on the matter or have the
latter come here. There are several good
young pitckers in the East and also in the
West, ard it may be that Manager Phillips is
TO take a tour round and in hopes of finding
some worthy young fellow. At any rate 1
know that the officials are after two or three
good men, and expect to secure at least one of
them"
WILL MAKE ANOTHER EFFORT.
Another effort will be made to-day to try and
sign Beam, of Latrobe. Secretary Scandrett
saw him pitch on Saturday, and thinks well of
him. The young man is now anxious to join
the Pittsburgs and Mr.. Scandrert thinks that
the young mans father will consent to his be-
coming a full hedged professional to-day.
There are also rumors current to the effect
that efforts will be made to trade Morris for
another League pitcher. A similar rumor was
current last year, and was proven to be false.
1t is claimed now however, that there are good
grounds for the present rumor. Morris last
year might have been traded for Rsdbourne,
but such deal cannot be made now. 1t is.
difficult to find any club Just now that will give
a good pitcher for Morris. The latter, how
ever, expects to be all right this week, and is
cozn1ent that he will pitch as good this season
as he ever did. Conway js also improving, but
somewhat slowly and it may be that before
one or two good new pitchers are secured the
old ones will be all right.
1t is the intention of the club to give Krumm
q thorough trial, and if he does satisfactory
work he will be retained, and if he is one of
the old twirlers will be dispensed with.
THINK WELL OF KRUMM.
1t is understood that the players and also
Manager Phillips think well Of the Southsider.
It is their general opinion that if he had con-
troll of the ball he will be a very effective
pitcher. There are many local authorities, how
ever, who think that Deitz, of the Our Boys
team, will make better man than any of the
other local pitchers who have Joined profes-
sional ranks lately. Deitz certainly has good
record SO far.
There was another interesting question dis
cussed in local baseball circles last night, viz:
The resolve of the California League TO come
under the government of the National agree
ment. The league In question has been out OF
the fold for two years and its present resolve
is hailed with delight by al the leading base
ball organizations. The Board of Arbitration
has consented to accord the California League
the protection provided by the national agree
ment. This action will shut of the last resort
for disgruntled players and contract breakers
Heretofore certain players, both in this and
.efa afsf hov nail In fhroo nod 70
''go to California, " if they didn't get all they
wante6- This threat can no longer have any
effect, as the California League will no longer
by reservation or otherwise by Eastern clubs,
The change was very favorably commented on
by local admirers of the game last evening.
