BOSTON, June n.-When 9 favortte player was
released from club last season it created great
deal or talk, but this year people don't seem to
care rap II ali the players in Cnristendom were
transferred TO different clubs. Dick Johnston was
big favorite in this city but his transfer to New
York created very little excitement, although
mild kick was made by certain Brotherhood
rooters, who knew that Johnston and Kelly were
not the best of friends. Johnston didn't go South
with Kelly's men in March and It was given out
that he sick; now It leaks ont that the treas
urer of the Boston Brotherhood club made Dick
sick BY sending him $50 when he asked for four ,r

ATTENDANCE DROPPING.
The attendance at ball games has fallen off
amazingly, and only for good Saturday crowds
some of the clubs would be up to their necks in
debt. Tne attendance at League games in New
York would not support the McKeesport club,
but the League moguls claim to be as happy
lot of men onewould wish to gaze upon. 'tIf
theLeague magnates are happy" says the effer-
vescent Mike Kelly, ''then the Car Of Russia
must be enjoying life with the song of dynamite
bombs buzzing in his ears. We have had away

THE BOSTON LEAGUERs.
The Boston League team is certainly one Of the
most unfortunate aggegations that ever repre-
sented this city on the diamond field. The great
Clarkson has been lame nearly all the season, and
his services have not been worth barrel of beans
TO the club. Young Lowe. who was doing the best
hitting of any man in the country. WAS injured
rather severely and has mot taken part in one
ball hard until about two weeks ago. but he is
s01g in day after DAY and Poyi0s for
Getzetn has been lame and tired at odd intervals,
and now comes the sad news that the peerless
Long must lay off for two weeks on account of
recent injuries to his nervous system. In New
York: the team had Murtrie's gang to up to
then the Workers fell on Getzein and made eight
runs, much to the disgust Of Manager Selee who
thought bis club had dead cinch on the game.
In Brooklyn the Triumvirs men had more had
luck and lost when they outbatted their oppon-
work, and had Ciarkson and Bennett been ali
right during the early part of the struggle, the
Bostons are not out of the race by any means,
