that a base on balls in 1887 was counted as
a base-hit. The men named nave batted
better this season than ever before.

-WAsHINGToN, July B.-Negotiations for
the release of Denny, the third baseman of
the Indianapolis club, to Washington,
which were suspended some weeks since,
have again been reOpened. and it is prOba-
bic that within a few days he will become
2 Senator. An offer of 5000 by President
Hewitt was made for his release. but it was
declined, and. as the Hoosier team needs a
pitcher, the arrangement c~Ontemplates the
tranfer of O'Day and a pecuniary consider
ation.-Associated Press Dispatch.
Stuff There is not and has not been the
ia intest possible foundation for the rumor
given above. 1t can be stated on absolute
iy unquestionable authority that Jerry
Denny is not for sale or trade. The manage
ment of the indianapolis club is entirely
too ~levelheaded to contemplate any such
one-sided deal. If they really wanted to
dispose of the great third baseman they
could sell his release for sufficient cash to
buy a half dozen O'Days, and still leave
a balance to their credit AS badly
as the club needs a pitcher. they will not
obtain him at SO great cost as such a sacri-
fee would be. O'Day is a good, although
not a great. pitcher; but, except half q dozen
men, and the Indianapolis club could trade
Denny for any pitcher in the League, and
get a cash bonus besides. Denny will be
found playing third base for the Hoosiers
SO long as the club is in the League, and
that will be for longer than this season, too.
Don't dismiss that from your memory.
