If the Brooklyns should come here we would
fill the same position as of yore, one that seems
to fall as naturally to this city as if they had
patent right to 1.-THE tail end.
Jimmy Donnelly and Fuller, Of the old
Washingtons, are on the st. Louis. Jim
Knowles and Bob Barr are on the Rochesters
Perry Werden and Healey are with Toledo.
The Brooklyn team is as sfollows: PITT Bowes
and O'Brien, catchers; Daily, Mccullough, and
Murphy, pitchers; Billy O'Brien, (''His Ice
Wagon,'') 1b.; Gerhardt, 2b.; Davis, 3D.; Mel
son, SIS; Simons, If. Peltz, c.f.; Daily, r.f.
Brooklyn is captained by Joe Gerhardt, of
this city, graduate of the old Creighton Club,
bardt, Hines, and Houck. 1t fourished in the
old White Lot, and their games were often wit
messed by Presidents johnson and Grant.
Among the players of that team still in this city
are Eddy Frazier, John j.. Linney, Will Jenr
nings, j. H. Doyle, VIII Guy, Balaam Birch,
Howard Wall, Harry Church, Will Crampsey,
and Frank Fraser.
The Brooklyn American Association team are
talking of changing their abode from the City
of Churches to this city. Already in Brooklyn
National League, Players League, and Amerf-
can Association-and of the three the American
Association team is drawing the smallest
crowds. If the club is moved here it will give
our people an excellent chance to see some
good ball-playing, far superior, of course, to
the erratic work of the defunct Atlantic team,
as the clubs of Louisville st. Louis, Athletics.
Rochester, Columbus, Toledo, and Syracuse are
playing very good and even ball. OF course it
will take several weeks to enthuse the people
in the new order of things, but once enthused
there will be no let up, for the American clubs
are really playing better ball than the League.
If the Brooklyns come here they will obtain
franchise that will make their circuit much bet
ter for travelling purposes, while if the people
turn out formerly it will be one of the
best paying ventures the Association ever
manipulated The National League desires to
hold this city, but the American Association, if
they transfer the Brooklyns here, will side
track them effectually.
