and Leaves for the City of
BrOtherly Love.
THE GENIAL CAPTAINS OPINION.

Except Perhaps From the Eye Of
the League Magnate.
LEASE OF LIFE FOR THE NATIONALS.
Players League Casting Out For Promising Talent
in the Opposite Ranks

Manager HanIon and team of IA men
boarded Baltimore and Ohio train at $50
last night, hoping to arrive at the city Of
BrotherIy Love early enough, to-day, to
capture victory from Buffinton's team ere
the sun goes down. The genial Ned was in
excellent humor, last night, before his de-
parture for the Eastern fields of conflict.
The smile that beamed from his contensnce
bespoke satisfaction with the world, and
especially the baseball public. And hasn't
he reason to be satisfied Isn't his team in
third place? By q very narrow margin, to
be sure, but he ia now going to clinch it.
Then the people that hustle themselves up
early to be ready to 60 TO the games. also gave
him reason to be glad. aanlon left his supper
long enough last night TO give the following
discourse on the beauties of being baseball
msnager-director-piayer:
STILL IN THE SWIM.
The ever grac Gus Mr.. Spaiding gave the
PLAYERS League until the Fourth of July to
live, if it raIned. With a clear day he was to
allow us a while longer. As he didn't have
charge of the weather regulator on that day, it
failed to rain to such an extent as to spoil our
attendance altogether. and we are happy. The
League is clear out in the West. We have
them on the run all around. The Pittspurg
League CLUB can't i've mucn longer. hI'
O'Neilrs action in changing the schedule sat
urday, after having promised to play Il out Just
as it stands, has killed the team The money
taken in at BROOKLYN will give them lift, but
It won't last forever. Of course, no
one has been making money Inc
local League club loses 81 for every 81 we do,
and they can't stand that. The tide is slowly
turning now, and we are getting all the people.
THE SCHEDULES AGAIN.
There is no reason why both couldn't have
rood crowds without conflicting schedules. /
don't believe there will be two clubs in the
cities next year. but if there are they must have
non-conficting schedules. In that case the peo-
pie could keep track Of baseball, and would at
tend the games beng played by whatever team,
the League or the Brotherhood.
Another thing that has injured the game is
the jangling going on back and iortn; Inat
disgusts a great many good people. See how
the Fogarty-LOve trouble affected the matter
in Philadelphia. 1t certainly gave the League
the great advantage they have.
VERY BAD MOVE.
Changing the dates from Buffalo to Boston
on the Fourth was a very bad move, and that
it injured the team can be seen already. They
didn't have as many people in Boston as they
would have had in Buffalo. Saturday they
only had 1000 people. Before this the League
team was virtually dead in Boston, but they
will doubtless profit by this move"
Hanlon then asked questions about Third
Baseman Roat's work for the local National
League team and said he had heard of his
work and had been watching his record. 1t
looks very much as though Hanlon would ike
TO secure Roat in place of Kuehne. The latter
can hit the ball, but he can't come anywhere
near playing his position as well as the other
man. Hurley was the only man left at home.
Morris will probably pitch against the Phillies
to-day. 1t will be fight for third place.
