SPORTING REVIEW.
play BALL" IS THE CRY HEARD OVER THE
LAND
Comparative Strength Of Brotherhood and League
Clubs-Sulliyan and jackson May Be
Matched for Battle-General Sport
ing NewS-Tuf Topics.

The lines of the base ball battle are
drawn, and the contest is ready to be-
gin. 1t is very improbable that either
the League or the Brotherhood will
gain any decided advantage from now
on, except that which is to be gained by
good work on the diamond. The day
for desertion is past, or rather most of
the deSerterS have deserted so often that
farther work in that line is impossible.
All the clubs have their forces well in
hand and it is now possible to give a fair
estimate Of their comparative strength.
~
In Boston the Brotherhood and
League are almost equally strong as far
as players 90. Clarkson and Bennett
will be towers of strength TO the old
club, while Tucker will hold down first
base as well as a three time descrter can
be expected to do before Boston audi
encc. Kelly, BroutherS. Dan Richard
son. Radbourne and the other Boston
stars. however, make up formidable
combination.
~
In New York the Brotherhood is
stronger than the League, even with
the recent acquisition of the lndianapo-
lis team. In Brooklyn the League has
Slight advantage in players strength.
The Philadelphia clubs airs about even
ly matched, and in PittSburg, Cleve-
land and Chicago the Brotherhood has
am unreasonable advantage.
~
There is another feature TO be cOnsid-
cred i'm estimating the drawing strength
of the organizations. All the well
known and popular players, with few
exceptions, are with the brotherhood.
There may be a few equally as good men
i'm the new ''phenomS' picked up by the
old clubs. but it takes a season for Il base
ball player to become known to the pub
lie. and unless he is known his playing
will not draw near so well, it matters
not how good he is.
