Il the Brooklyn Brotherhood club secures
Van Haltren, So John Ward expects, it will
get good man.
Tommy Burns, the right fielder of the
Brooklyn National League club, has gone to
Hot Springs, Ark.
Columbus has released Ed. Daley, fine
fielder and good batter, to the new A'socia-
ton baby to be located In Brooklyn.

Manager Mike Kelly went to Philadelphia
yesterday and had talk with Mat Kilroy,

Players league team next season.
The stuff printed about Brush staying in
the League is nonsense. He has no such in
tention. The Hoesier is out for all the money
there is in the selling of players and he viii
get 1t in the end.
In reply to question whether he intended
to retire at the end of next season big Arson
promptly responded: "Well. guess not. Pm
good for fifteen years yet and I'll play that

Frank Bancroft says he would like to see
the first game in which Connie Murphy, of
the Brooklyns, and Arlie Latham, of the
Chicago White Stockings play against each
other. Frank thinks the grass on the dia-
mond will be eaten up.
Chicago already reaches $50 500, and this
does not include the salaries of Tener, Gum
bert and Flint, who may not play at all next
season. Should they do SO, however, they
will swell the list to 100000.
The actors and baseball cranks who have
had the privileges of the Polo grounds for
the past two or three years and who signed
that Brotherhood petition at Engel's really
sacrificed something for the cause. They will
nave 10 give up tnls season.
The war between Won der Abe and Com
| iskey is on. The "boss president" gave Com
| iskey a fiery roast in Philadelphia, and now
Comiskey is after him with both hands and
several feet. IT'S thus the best of friends oc-
casionally get down to Singing.
Mr.. Days letter was the subject of good
deal of fun in Brotherhood circles. The
idea Of man rushing into print and pro.
testing that he would not 60 into the
Players League organization, without any
one Offering or suggesting such a thing to
him, struck them as being numerous in the
| extreme.
It is probable that Catcher Chilly" Hol.

Barley, who has just been released by the

Pat Murphy is pretty sick man. 1t is
mental attack. and all on account of his ac-
ton In deserving the Brotherhood. Whe1

Worcester, Mass. News, an organ of tn,
workingmen, issued an extra, with flaming
headlines, denonncing Murphy as traitor t
bis country and his race. The News had

Rem Milford, jr., in the Times-Star, refer
to Cyclone Duryea in q manly way, which Il
in direct contrast to the rubbish the othe
Cincinnati writer's printed since the famous
pitcher signed with Ward: ''Perhaps old Cy

President Brush expects to win the Nation
al league championship next season with TIL
indianapolis team. The Hoosiers finished
seventh last season, and their chances for tn
old League pennant this year are certainly OK
cellent. even though they are minus the scr
vices of their three best 6elders Geachy
Seery and Andrews.
