WILL THEY PLAY 1T OUT?
Manager Sullivan's Efforts to Continue
the Ball Club.

Manager Ted Sullivan is hustling about and
hopes by tomorrow to have arrangements per-
fected by which tho Washington ball club will
be enabled to play out the season and be ready
to enter the American Association next year.
In conversation with STAR reporter today he
said that he expects every minute to DC notified
that the Washington franchise has been turned
over to him. He showed kilograms to
verify the statement that Barnie and Burnham
had recommended that Hewett be expelled
from the association and he be accepted in
stead. AS everybody knows the three B. S
about constituted the Atlantic Association.
Braden, the president is away from home,
which accounts for the delay in hearing from
him. IL this is accomplished the franchise
difficulty will be removed, for by expelliEg
Hewett the franchise reverts to the ASSOCIATION.
TO MEET EKPENsEs.
But there is still another obstacle, namely,
the wherewithal to meet the running expenses
of the team. Sullivan is confident that several
base ball enthusiasts. who are looking into the
matter, will go over to Baltimore with him to-
morrow and make final arrangements for con-
tlnuinC the season. Failing in this however.
MIR. Sullivan will drop the matter for good. for he
says Washington is too good city TO be treated
unexpectedly. and il he can't manage decent
team he Wonr manage any. In case the money
is forthcoming he will hold such of his players
as will stay and fill the places of those who have
left by drawing from the disbanded Worces-
ter Tub. and promises to yet give Washington
some good ball playing.
