rishurg game at Harrisburg Yesterday.

a member of the Atlantic Association.
"New Haven Is unquestionably tho
best city In the Association. Burnham
Is u cute manager, and | have no doubt
but that he is laying plans TO enter
larger organization, probably tho Ameri-
can Association. There could be no mis-.
take made by that association in admit
ting New Haven. Hartford is In bad
straits. Lebanon has been anxious TO
purchase the franchise Of Hartford since
ii failed to get Worcester, and it Is quite
likely that Lebanon win be an Atlantic
Association club by Saturday, 1t
is well-known fact that
Washington has been losing money as well
ss Baltimore and Wilmington. One
thing / want to say about Baltimore.
Barnie's lukewarm interest In the asso-
citation has excited considerable suspicion
among the officials of the several clubs.
II is believed that II an opportunity pro
sented itself he would leave the asgocia-
tion at once. The Baltimore club. this
year particularly, has lost plenty Of
money, and Barnie Is not In the mood TO
keep his team Ia the field for fun. Alto.
gether, the outlook for the association Is
not very favorable.
Baltimore retur ned home last night.
Captain Power said among other things.
wilmington is also much stronger now
than early in the season. and may make
game fight with the leading clubs on
its own grounds, at least

The transfer OF the New Haven cap
taincy from HofTord % Pettee IS due Ia
the fact that since Cahill Joined the
team Hofford does not take part In every
game. 1t Is doubtful II the change will
have good effect upoa the clubs pros,
poets, as HofTord has a wonderful in
fuence over all his fellow-pl4yers.
