DURING the visit of the Cincinnati Baseball
Club to Columbus yesterday Manager Tom
LOTUS unguardedly gave out the information
as to which of the Cincinnati PLAYERS were to be
released by the management This has been a
close secret since it became known that at least
four of the present club would be allowed to
90. Here is the list: Billy Earle, catcher; Tony
Mullane, pitcher; H1ck Carpenter, third base.
and either Tebeau Nicol, felders, with
chances largely in favor of the latter. Manager
LOTUS thinks Mullane has seen his best days in
the box while the great work of Harrington
behind the bat disposes of Earle's chances.
Marr will cover third permanently, retiring
Carpenter. and LOTUS is undecided as to the
two fielders mentioned. The chances are that
Nicol will be released or sold.
