fielder, and Power, first baseman.
President Speas, Of the Kansas City
club, has given Philadelphia, Boston
and New York league and Toledo assoc
citation clubs permission to negotiate
with Pitcher Healy. The Egyptian"
says he prefers Philadelphia
McCauley, the Phillies' new first base
man, is being referred to as a young
blood. But this is hardly correct. He
played with the association team at In
dianapolis several years ago, and has
since played in minor leagues.
The $4,000 capital stock with which
each brotherhood stub was organized has
proved insufficient and most of the clubs
have already increased the amount.
Considerable advance money has been
paid to players.
The Des Moines club has completed
it's organization as follows: Traffley, Nc
CluskeY, catchers; Hart, Somers, Glare,

tempting Burns, of the Kansas City

Jump his contract. The Kansas City

and Sowders about one year ago.
The St. Louis Sporting News says:
'tComiskey, Williamson and Pfeffer all
say that the Chicago White Stockings
after they have won it they will make
the champions of the league play them
or get off the earth"

batsman on the Philadelphia players
team. The 'sPhillies" have Delehanty,
Thompson, Clements and McCauley who
rank as hitters, while the Athletic club
has Denny Lyons as star ''sticker."
The Kansas City Western association
club will report for duty in about two
weeks. It will go to Hot Springs for the
purpose of getting into trim for the sea-
sons work. Manager Hackett is a
rustler and it will not be his fault il the

A Florida writer says: ''Clif Carroll
is steadying down. He is fielding we'll,
but his hitting is little off. He is bat
ting left-handed entirely this year, even
against left-handed pitchers. He is
probably acting under instructions from
Arson to stick to that style. Wilmot is
batting and fielding up to his usual

some excellent fielding. He is an un-

develop into a fair batter. Burns is
improving, if any thing. He is doing
some very fair work. Coughlin pitches
very coolly and deliberately. He has
good speed, but his curves are not calcu-

All the old-timers on the Philadelphias
find no trouble at all in hitting him all
over the field. Hutchinson is pitching
better than usual. He is much steadier
than last year, Or than any previous
year.
Washington Out In the Cold.
It is evident that Washington has
given up all hopes Of remaining in the
league or getting into the brotherhood.
The Star says: Washington will have
no league baseball and no brotherhood
baseball, but it is very likely that an
Atlantic association club will be To-
Gated here. Nothing definite is an
