Some Facts About the First Season of
 the New League.

Some Facts About the First Season of
 the New League.
 The Boston Globe pays the Players League this well-deserved tribute: "There are no weddings in the Play ers' League, and consequently no club has such a thing as @ walk-over before any game has began. The Boston games in Buffalo well showed this. Tn the first year of its existence the Players League has given the baseball public the greatest struggle ever known in the history of the game. With the cream of the baseball talent enrolled in its ranks scarcely any thing else was to havo been expected, and it is no wonder that the bona fide attendance at the games has been constantly increas- ing. Despite frantic cries to the con- trary the Players League is an assured permanency and grand success.
 ''As whole, the season will be an as- sured financial success; the losses of in- dividual clubs will be trifing. The be- havior of tho players has been exem-I plary, and there have been no dissen- sions or lack of harmony. It need scarcely be said how the Players League has improved the game by in- creasing the hitting, for which the pub fic has yearned in past seasons. The public wants to see heavy hitting asI we'll as fine fielding. There isn't a club in the Players League to-day that is not powerful in hitters. It therefore mat ters very little what club pitcher faces. The weakest is as likely, and even morel likely, to bat harder than the strongest, for the former, having nothing to lose and every thing to gain, will slash away at every thing, while the stronger clubs will play the more carefully"

Making Arrangements to Receive the
Famous Irishmen in This City.


Famous Irishmen in This City.
The subcommittee appointed to make
arrangements for the reception to be ten
dered to Dillon and O'Brien met last
night at the Mayors office. Some. small
difficulty was experienced in choosing
a place to hold a public reception. The
date most suitable on which to hold
the reception, when all the six famous
Irishmeu can visit the city is November
H. On this night, however. it will be inn
possible to held the reception at the
Tabernacle. as that building is engaged for
this date. 1t was finally decided TO leave
the selection of hall to the Hall Com
mittee, to which committee were added the
names of Messrs. Holmes, Gruber and
Cleveland. If the distinguished guests
can visit this city on November 13, the
public reception will occur in the Taber-
nacle, and an admission fee of 25 cents
will be charged, but If the 18th is the
only date available, Oakland Rink will
be the scene of the meeting, and admis-
sion will be free.
On motion it was decided to invite the
guests to Taylor's hotel on the reception
day, at which time a select number
citizens will meet the patriots.
After this private reception,
a dinner will be served. The preparation
Of programme which will embrace the
drawing up of call and naming the vice
presidents for the meeting was delegated
to the Hall Committee. The committee
was ordered to report to the sue commit
tee at its next meeting, so that the pro-
gramme may be changed if necessary.
The committee then adjourned subject to
the call of the chair.
