Brotherhood. League

substantially correct Both leagues will sign
more men, but they will be mostly minors
and youngsters The brotherhood will re-
quire about i2S men for eight clubs and tho
League will need about 100 for ten clubs The
latter will no doubt sign an unusual number
OF untried men and endeavor to develop some
extra players
Now, on the face OF things, u really doesn't
look as u the claims OF Messrs; ward heefe,
pfeher, Ewing brouthers ana hsnlon that
the brotherhood have all the great ana best
players, and must therefore draw the public
and dumpth League, were true. Ana when
you look into the matter carefully you find
that while the Brotherhood has the advan-
tage 1t Is not an advantage that Will wipe out
the League In any such short order a. the
Players claim. Indeed, do not think that
they believe no II they told their real senti-
ments
It cannot be denied that all the League
playersof 1889 were not stars. In the Brother
hood list Of scventy-eight we find these
names: Seery, McGeachy, Willard Brown,
Hatfield, Hallman. WOOD. Farrar, basttan,
Dwyer, Darling, Flint, Qenef1 Morris, Maui,
Fields, Haddock, Beecher, Clark, J. Irwin,
George keefe, Gus krock, Tom Brown,
Daley, Joe Quinn, Mike Madden, Arthur
Irwin. Gruber. McAleer. Sutcliffe, Snyder

I star player today, and only hve OF them,
