GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

Manager Phillips and his team of ball
players left the city for New York last even
ing with very light hearts. Horace, par
ticuIarly, was cheerful and very hopeful of
great success. During yesterday he received
a dispatch from Rowe and White stating
that they will be in New York to-day, ready
to play.
This is very satisfactory news to me,
said the manager, ''as it means more things
than one 1t means that the two players
have been playing hard every day on the
quiet, keeping themselves in condition L
know that they would not commence play
ing at once if they were not in condition
to do so. / think we'll put strong
team in against New York tomorrow.
Here is our nine: Calvin, Miller, Hanlon,
Sunday, Rowe. White. Dunlap. Carroll and
Kuehue left field. Row that aggregation looks
well on paper; doesn't it? Our two new players
may not be thoroughly efficient in team work
for a few days. but two or three games will put
them all right. fully expect
TO WIN A MAJORITY
of the games during our trip. We play six
straight with Cleveland, three after We leave
the East and the succeeding three on our own
grounds"
Pitcher Conway will have a talk with Presi-
dent Nimick to-day relative to resuming work.
, Conway is in condition to pitch, but he is not
inclined to run any risk by going into the box
too soon. AS already stated in this paper he is
not receiving any pay from the club, and, there
fore need only report when he likes. 1t is un-
derstood that his talk with Mr.. Nimick to-day
aanaEN
Conway should join the team in the East and
should his arm break down again. If nothing
satisfactory in that way can be agreed upon he
may remain at home until the club returns
Harry Staley's friends also anxious that
his good work be rewarded by return of the
fine that the club imposed on him at Indian
apolis.
ABOUT STALEY'S s FINE.
It was stated last evening that Staley had
been conferring with Manager Phillips on the
matter, but that nothing definite was DONE
One authority stated that Staley may either
have his fine returned or receive something
equivalent.
Undoubtedly, the team leaves home in a
stronger condition than ever a home club left
the city before On paper the team looks as
strong any in the country and it may be that
during the balance of the season it will be as
strong as any ether in actual contest. Certainly
the pitching power is great, and if Conway
joins the team this week the prospects of VIC
tory will be greater than ever. 1t does not
seem unreasonable to expect that the
team will win of the Is games
TO be played while away from home If this is
done it will be very satisfactory work away
from the home grounds. If Rowe and White do
not strengthen the batting force almost every
body interested in the club will be disappointed.
Nothing definite has been arranged relative
to the disposal of Smith. 1t is cOnj njectured,
however, that if PiItsburg does not intend to
retain him he will still remain in the League
However when the club returns it is likely, if
all the players i'll condition, that two or
three more players will be released.
