GENERAL BASEBALL NEWS OF THE DAY

Il will doubtless be interesting to patrons
of the local club to know that the White
and Rowe difficulty has finally been set
tied, and that the two players named will
Join the Pittsburg team at New York TO-
morrow or Tuesday.
Manager Phillips stated last evening that
since White was here negotiations have
been going on with ex-President Stearns,
of Detroit, and that everything has been
satisfactorily arranged. At any rate,
Messrs. White and Rowe wired to Presi-
dent Nimick yesterday to the effect that
they will join the club at New York as stated
above.
THE TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.
The local officials refuse TO state what the
terms of settlement are, but it is understood
that both this club and Mr.. Stearns have made
concessions to the players. The principal con-
cession, it is stated, has been made by Mr..
Stearns. who has given the players half of their
purchase money. The price of each player was
reduced, that is the local club has not paid as
much for the releases as was originally bar
gained for Part of this difference has been
given to the players by the Pittsburg club. and
Stearns has given the balance. At any rate
the players have carried their point by getting
half of their purchase money, although the
amount is not as big as it was intended to be.
las soon as White and Rowe join the club
there will be some important changes and it
NAV be that old Pop" Smith will be for sale.
He is to be laid off as soon as Rowe starts in
and Kuehne is to go to left field. 1t is the in
tention of the club to keep Kuehne as a gen.
eral utility man for time at least but he may
be dispensed with before long, or a deal may
be made to trade him and Smith for first
class catcher.
OLD POP TO LEAVE Us.
However things may turn out, it is under
stood that Smith will have to go, and doubt
less hundreds of patrons will regret the loss OF
such an honest and gentlemanly Player-a
PLAYER that in many respects is as brilliant as
any man playing on the diamond to-day. He
has filed up the breach on many occasions
and will do so again for anybody who gets him.
Pitcher Dunning was also released yesterday.
In speaking of the matter last evening, Man
ager Phillips said: Conway will be all right
in few days, and he will make four regular
and tried pitchers. All the players have the
highest opinion of Garield's ability and think
he will be a frst-class man. Carroll says that
he has remarkable speed and an original curve.
With these statements before us, we have re-
solved to part with Dunning and give Garfield
at-y. Altogether, l think we have great pros
pectss SIf Rowe and White get into shape and
our pitchers keep in line, Wen let the Eastern
people know that we are on deck"
