New YORK, Jan. 15.-"King'' Kelly, who
will be captain and manager of the Boston
Players league next season, arrived from
California, and the first words he uttered
on stepping from the train were, Don't
look like winner? Are there any flies on
the PLAYERS league Well, if there are,
We'll catch 'em all next summer. They
can't beat us in hundred years. TIE
King has set the pace, here we are again,
and other fellows are left at their post
liking KEEP left here several weeks ago
for the Pacific coast to sign Boston players
for the new league. Before he departed
he made the remark that if he did not sign
every man he would jump into the Pacific
ocean. He failed to capture Clarkson,
CANCEL and Smith, and was bound to keep
his word. The ''only'' did take plunge in
the western ocean. Clarkson and CANCEL
were under contract, verbal, if not written,
before Kelly, left New York, but
he Gid land two unsigned men
whom the Triumvirs still want badly
E'Here they are, two Lilies of the Val
ley,' . and the ten Thousand dollar beauty
produced contracts signed by Hardie Rich
ardson and William NJ. Nash "There are
two ball players you can bet on. They are
square men, aud on the outside, tell you
we've got enough just like 'em to win the
case which We'll present to the public next
season. Why, 1 wouldn't be in the position
some of those deserters have placed them
selves in for a million dollars. I've been
across the continent, and there are some
towns where, if they show up, they will
need accident policies. Just let me out
like eggs, but L don't like 'em after they
have been reserved for whole winter
They say the magnates will have plenty of
ham and eggs next season. Already they
have laid in stock of hams, and don't be-
lieve they'll have to go far to find eggs Did
i try to sign Clark's. No The bows put
me on when they reached Frisco that he
was and had been goner for some time be-
fore that. The talk that he is the victim of
circumstances is bosh. L wonder what his
papa will say to him when he gets home
Yes, did tell Pop Smith if he was worth
s., 800 was worth $50, 900, and it goes.''
But l don't want to talk about those
fellows; If they are satisfied l am. Where
is all your snow! l have been figuring on
some SNOWFALL salad. Funny how bows in
the east have got along with the sustenance
prescribed by the magnates, amt it,
Well live, though, and just watch US when
the flag drops next April.
''Have had the grippe! Say, old sport.
moved in society, and it just broke M
heart to miss that New Years ball. Why
1 had to stop off two days in Salt Lake city,
and l left my grippe there. 1t was too
heavy for me. One day ] was so sick
couldn't raise my head, and didn't know
but the king would have to jump then. 1
thought to myself, We'll. I'll just go them
one season for luck, and then ! struck a
gait for Paterson's land of the free We
had nothing but rain on the coast and
didn't play much ball. Yes, the Browns
beat US, but we ware short on one man,
EEntende cordial 1 believe you call him
On Tong wouldn't play, bu5 we had lots
of fun and pleasant trip. In week or ten
days L shall run over to Boston to see the
new grounds Kelley is in excellent con-
