FOLEY'S VERY INTERESTING LETTER.
A Home Football Gsms on Christmas - General
Sporting News Of the Day

There Is some safety in saying that the
local baseball club has been organized; that
is. the local potentates have agreed among
themselves to elect officers and depend more
or less on all the rights and privileges that
a New Jersey charter will give them.
A:ter all the talk, Mr.. J. Palmer O'Neill
did not buv Mr.. Nimick or Mr.. Converse
out. therefore Mr.. O'Neill does not own the
entire new club and Mr.. Nimick really has
some little say in il. He is not yet made
director, but certainly with all shortcomings
and all overfowings on this side or that, it
would scarcely be fair to leave Mr.. Nimick
outside a Board OF Directors who are to try
and guide our national game here next
year.
Mr.. O'Neill stated yesterday that he had
not been in Chicago trying to get money
to buy Mr.. Nimick out. Mr.. O'Neill.
stated that everything had been harmon
iously arranged; that Mr. Nimick very
''magnanmous gentleman" Mr.. NimIck, it
may be stated. voted for Mr.. O'Neill to be Presi
dent of the new club. The former in a very gen.
tlemaEly way remarked: MIR. O'Nelll desires
the position of President of the club, and he is
wanted by majority of the directors to fulfill
he will land our club where. under strange cir
cumstances, l have striven to land it. Mr..
O'Neill starts out under more favorable cir
Cumstances than have ever b9en known here
before. / wish HIM WE'LL
Mr.. Nimick MADE the above remarks before
the important meeting. The meeting was held
at the office of Attorney Schoyer, and it was
agreed to organize under the New Jersey char
ter with capital stock of 5000. The entire
stock. in accordance with legal requirements or
privileges. will be made into 100000.
The papers were soon signed and the
yearnings of J. Palmer O'Neill were set at rest
by his being elected President of the new club.
He deserves the position because he has
worked for ii and moved heaven and earth to
get it. II all hopes are fulfilled, Mr.. O'Neill
will land our club in good position. AT any
rate, II we do not get a winning team 1t will
not be because Of any lack of energy on his
part to give us winner. Mr.. Il. Is. Rea was
made VICE PRESIDENT an excellent choice de
is a good business man and has no exJravagant
aspirations for prominence. The P. l.. people
did well in nominating Mr.. Rea and would Just
have done well in naming Mr.. McCallin
They had some good men. Mr.. /. b. Brown,
representing Mr.. Converse, was elected treas
urer and our old and tried friend. the faithful
Al. Scandrett, was elected secretary. Al. has
been there before-many a time, and what he
does not know about The business and of a ball
club is not worth mentioning.
Altogether we ought to be pleased because
new club has been organized, notwirhsta andIng
all the personalities and ambitions that have
made things unpleasant. Efforts will now be
commenced TO secure good players. The mag
mates did talk a little yesterday about the case
of Manager w. W. Burnham. y few weeks
ago lie was verbally ana very pointedly en-
gagged here to manage the club for next year,
He was actually sent Tor to visit the city and
after coming here was given definitely to un-
derstand by several magnates that he was en-
gagged to manage the club here next year.
After dealing with gentleman in this way he
has been told that be not wanted here at
all; in fact, one prominent DaGnate who was
elected to high position yesterday, said, re-
ferTinC to Mr.. BurnhamS case:
He must fall like all other trash"
Mr. Burnham is stranger TO Pittsburg and
be is a gentleman.
