 James W. Kelly, of New Haven, is the on- ly umpire thus far appointed in the Western league. This young and talented gentleman comes from Yale, and will be remembered as the best umpire Yale ever had.-Boston Herald.
 There is trouble in store for Indianapolis. Jerry Denny, the great third basemsn, who is now in San Francisco, says that he will not play in Indianapolis if he is placed in class B, which calls for salary of $2,250. But for his drinking habits Denny would be in class A.
 Third Baseman Alvord signed to play with the Sacramento club, and received several hundred dollars from that club. He then re- ceived an offer from Toledo, accepted ad- vance money and left for the East. The base ball people of Sacramento got wind of affairs and had him brought back just before he had crossed the line on charge of leaving the State with the intent of defrauding his creditors. It is likely to go hard with MT. Alvord, and yet serves him right.
