$4,000 to the money already paid toward
the capital stock of the club. Secretary
Brunell gives the names of the new League
umpires. John L. Sullivan speaks dispar-
agingly of Corbett's fstic abilities.
An important meeting of the directors of
the local Brotherhood club was held at the
Office Of W. A Potter yesterday afternoon.
All the directors were present, and as re-
suit Of the meeting the new club was put on
a more solid basis than ever.
The most significant feature of the meet
ing was the unanimous decision of the
directors to pay in an additional 80 per cent
to the % per cent of the capital stock
already paid in. This makes IS per cent,
or SIS, 900 of the $40, 900 stock paid. What
ever conjectures there may have been re-
garding dearth of cash for the new club
were dispelled at yesterdays meeting because
not only were all stockholders quite willing to
pay any assessment made, but outside parties
wers willing to purchase any stock that was
for sale.
ELECTED UNANIMOUSLY.
John Tener was unanimously elected Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the new club and he was
present at the meeting. 1t was also decided that
Mayor McCaIlin, Hon. NJ. B. L. mo n and Mana
ger Hanlon represent the club at the Players
League meeting, 10 be held at Cleveland on
March IL Manager Hanlon displayed to the
meeting all the contracts of the IA players now
signed by the club, and they were deemed salts
factory. He also made a satisfactory state
ment regarding the advance money paid
out so far to players, and it was agreed
that no more advance money be paid
to players not signed, except it be to
what Is considered first class
player. The steamboat arrangement Is were
also discussed and a notion prevailed to the
effect that the boat tickets be issued in con-
nection with the tickets for the ball game and
that IS cents be charged for each ticket The
completion of this arrangement was left to
Messrs. Tener, Hanlon and Kerr. A contract
with the Postal Telegraph Company was also
agreed upon whereby that company has the
privilege of putting wire into the new grounds
for $3.50. Other business of minor importance,
such as letting the score card and other privi-
leges was discussed.
THE OFFICIAL SCORER.
The question of appointing the official scorer
was not introduced. but Manager Hanlon in
timated that George Mclean. the ex-oficial
scorer of the old club would be appointed to
the Office The appointment would not only be
a good, but q popular one.
After the meeting, Manager Hanlon said:
There never was a more harmonious meeting
than ours Of to-day. We all meant business,
and everybody was full of hope for the future
We are not negotiating with any more players,
and we won't do so, except we have a chance
10 secure a 11rst-class man. OF course we won't
refuse good players. We have IA men under
contract now, and, you can depend upon it. we
have good team. We don't want to carry too
many men, because il is not beneficial to the
players The more men we carry, the more we
have TO place on the bench, and this does
players harm Every player needs a certain
amount of work every day to keep him in con-
dition, Just as does an athlete who is going to
compete. 1 know some players who should
play every day, If sickness does not interfere,
and, of course, there are other players who are
not SO strong, and who need a rest now and
again. However Tener and Maui are good
fielders, and don't see that we are in great
need of any more felders."
