A GOOD WORD FOR SOME MEMBERS OF TIE
PLAYERS LEAGUE.
Mlr.s ard DAYS Indoor Base Ball Schems-It
VII Be Tael a: Madison Square Garden.
Gossip o. the Diamond-7Urf Topics.
General Sporting Notes.

New YORK, December 2O.-Much has
been said and written about the willing
ness OF players of the Players League
10 sign contracts with the National
League for next season. 1t has been
told with apparent truthfulneSS that
they would cause trouble. Assertions
have been made that they entertained
much ill-feeling against the capitalists
# the Players League, because the lat
ter absolutely refused TO keep on paying
out good hard cash 10 maintain ven
ture that threatened the total depletion
not only of their own pOc6etboOkS in
time. but the wiping out OF the profess
sion Of the ball player himself.
There is q possibility that few play
ers are what is called "SOre," but the
levcl-headed playerS-and there are
many of them-lOO6 at the present con-
dition of things in the right light.
Foremost in the rank of these IS the
veteran orator from Connecticut, James
Hawthorne O'Rourke, lawyer, Of. Bridge
port. He entertainS no animoSity to-
ward anybody, and has nothing but
words of praise for the capitalists of
the New York (P. H. Club for the
stand they took TO consolidate. lie
saws il was the only hope for the future
prosperity of the game-a game, by the
way. which John Ward had, for his de-
sire TO become 4 magnate, nearly de-
stroyed
If the effort 10 introduce professional
indoor base ball in this city proves a
success. clubs viii be organized in BoS-
/ ton, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and probably in one more city. John Il.
I Day and James Nutrie are going to
make the attempt. Yesterday Mr.. Day
completed arrangements whereby the
Madison Square Garden has been Sc
cured. Daring the day Manager Mu-
trie was huStling as he only knows how
TO secure professional players TO make
I'D the New York team. The first one
he met was Tim Keefe.
''Wnl you play indoor base ball"
asked Mutrie. with a mysterious air.
Il am always willing TO play base
ball answered keefe.
'sAll right" said Mutrie. Down
goes your name. Come up to the Gar
den saturday evening II you don't hear
7 from me in the mean time" and at that
Mutrie rushed out TO hunt up other
players.
IL is expected that Mike" Kelly,
Gore. Slattery, Sharrott, Foutz and
Others will be secured. Tommy Ester
brook thinks indoor playing will be Civ
ing the public little too much base
ball. Besides it is his opinion that il
may somewhat tire out the players, and
they will not be in the condition they
should be when the regular champion
ship season opens. He may, however
consent 10 play.
