BASEBALL NEWS OF GREAT INTEREST

Ad Gumbert has finally cast his lot with
the Boston new League club, and he will,
for this season at least, be what is commonly
known as q "beaneater." Gumbert re-
ceived a Boston contract yesterday and
signed it. His salary is to be $4,000 for the
season, and it is understood that he remains
with the club for three years under certain
conditions His signed contract was forwarded
to Mr.. Hart of the Boston club yesterday.
Boston will secure an excellent ball player in
Gumbert and he, doubtlessly will be member
of good club. There were no objections from
either Pittsburg or Chicago to his going to
Boston, the aim of the new clubs being to allow
each player to please himself as far as practi-
cable. Now that he is signed the management
of the new club will make earnest endeavors to
secure
ANOTHER FIRST-CLAss PITCHER
And fielder. Manager Hanlon is confident
ofsecuring two hrst-class men within few
days.
Manager Hecker, of the old club, received
letter from William Sowders, the pitcher, yes
terday, which sets at rest all reports as to his
going to leave the old League. Sowders, after
congratulating Mr.. Hecker on the latters ap-
pointment to the management, says: II think
we Will get along very well CORebncE OOW-
ders is in good condition, and he is ore of the
most earnest ball players in the profession.
Pitcher Gray also wrote Manager Hecker, stat
ing that he is all right and will report in first
class form. He sent his measure for his uni
form. and concluded by saying: "Get me big
shoes, for have six toes on each foot" Man.
ager Hecker has much faith IN Gray.
WE'LL HAVE THE DRUMMERS.
The Erie club will play here probably be-
tween the 18th and 19Lh of April. Jamestown,
N. Y, club and the Spring6elds, o., want to
come here and play two games each. They
may be given dates. Manafee has not yet
signed with the Erie club because the manager
of that club wrote Manager Hecker if that
player was under contract 20 the Pittsburg
club. The local manager replied to the effect
that Manafee is not under contract to the Pitts
burg club 1t Is, therefore. likely that Manafee
will sign tomorrow or Tuesday.
The officials of the local Brotherhood Club
are still cheerful as to the prospects of the
season. The players are fast getting into ex-
cellent form. Morris, Kuehne and Carroll are
working hard every day, and Calvin will get
down to solid hard work after the elections.
Manager Hanlon is extremely confident of
having irst-class team, and certainly be de-
serves one. because no man in the baseball
business has worked harder or more faithfully
to get a successful club than has Manager Han
Ion. He intends to have the entire team re-
port here two or three weeks before the cham
pionship season opens and put them through
some lively daily exercise.

Some Ancient Advice.

don't know whether or not Jeremy Taylor
had the baseball business in view when he
wrote his Holy Living about go years ago.
but came across passage in it the other day
that baseball msgnates would do well to ponder
over. Here it is: 'ln making contracts use not
many words; for all the business of bargain
is summed up in few sentences; and he that
speaks least means fairest, as having fewer op-
portunities to deceive" Now, what do you
think Of advice of that kind written centuries
agof Good old DR.. Taylor was q very wise man
in his day and generation, but 1Question very
much whether he ever gave better advice than
the above, and certainly there is nothing more
appropriate 70 baseball contracts. Nowadays
it is almost as easy to paraphrase Miltons ''Par-
sdise LOST as to clearly understand a baseball
contract. In many respects contract making
has become absurd, because it is safe to say
that very few ball players will ever have the
courage to wade through one even il they had
the intellectual abilities to understand all there
was in IT. Evidently our forefathers had on
this point little more common sense than we
have.

had it until Lawson was put in the box in the
fifth inning, after which they failed to get q
hit
Hutchinson and Coughlin pitched three in
nings each, and then Sullivan, q new man from
Boston, was put in the box. Coughlin, fresh
from his conquest in the Golden State, pitched
in flne form, and Anson predicts him the COM
ing man.
Bennett. the catcher for the home team. made
a brilliant record, and if he keeps up his good
work during the winter, he will probably play
with Chicago next summer.
The home team buuched their errors In the
third inning ana punched their hits in the

the home team had no runs, when Bennett by
a safe hit and daring steal, got home Sulli-
