The St. Paul base ball team at last
has a management which will not en-
gage in the business of playing ball
simply for the purpose OF developing
men for sale. st. Paul people have seen
the management profess to be "out Tor
the pennant' and quietly dispose OF IFS
talent, and fall away far enough to be
out of the race every year since 1853.
This sort of thing created unfavoraDle
comment at first. roar of discomfort
later. and finally almost complete re-
fusal of patronage. Something had 70
be done, and that something quick,
to keep the franchise in the city.
A number of gentlemen, who consider
the best base ball to be had none TOO
good for St. Paul, put their heads and
t~Air money together yesterday and
purchased all of the stock Of the club.
Officers were Immediately chosen. con-
sisting of Capt. James Starkey, presl-
dent; J. NJ. Pottgieser, vice president;
w. F. BickeI, treasurer, and M. j.
Roche, secretary. The directors chosen
are the officers and George Decker and
F. W. Youngman. This organization.
however, is only temporary. Stock is
being sold at 500 a share to many good
friends of the game in the city, and as
soon as a sufficient amount is raised the
whole matter will be turned over to the
stockholders, all of whom will have
a voice in the selection of officers. w.
III. Watkins was unanimously chosen
manager Mr.. Watkins is one OF the
best-known managers in the country.
He it was who managed the great ag-
gregation of talent representing Bay
CITY in the Northwestern league OF
1884, and put through the deal transfer
ing Dave Foutz and other stars to the
st. Louis Browns. A little later
"Watty's' great head engineered the
coup resulting in the sale OF Brouthers,
Rowe, White and Richardson from Bur
alo to Detroit; and it was he who man
aged the Detroit team which won the
National league pennant In 1887.
There is no man in base ball
who works harder Tor tue sue
cess of his team than does
watkins. 1t is limited around occasion
ally that he is severe with his players
He is severe in that he requires his men
to obey instructions, play ball all the
time to win, keep sober and steep at
nroper hours. Of the diSorganlzer ana
the all-around kicker he is the enemy
from the start, and. if the st. Paul cluD
contains any of these, it would be
good plan for them to file their resigna-
tions early to-day. OF the earnest hon
est plaver who seeks to earn his salary
by playing the best ball he knows how
and takes care of himself, Mr.. Watkins
is the firm friend, and none such need
fear his censure. The new man
agement takes hold of the team
this morning, and we bespeak
for it the patronage of the public. The
team makes its first appearance here
for month tomorrow, and there should
not be vacant seat at Athletic park.
If the people will come to the rescue
and put little money in the treasury,
st. Paul will have team in the next
fortnight which can compete with any
IN the league. From this hour st. Paul
is buyer, not seller, of good base ball
timber, and proposes to win just as
many games as possible.
