FRANCE, THE TW1RLER.
A Possibility that He May Not Grace the
California Diamonds.

A Possibility that He May Not Grace the
California Diamonds.
The Sacramento club may not, after all,
secure the services of France, the pitcher
who had signed and been forwarded ad-
vance money and ticket to Galveston,
Tex. Late on Monday evening Manager
Enwright received a telegram from France,
in which the latter stated that he did not
think the Sacramento club would accept
his terms $3.50 per month"; and had signed
with the Louisville team.
France undoubtedly thought, when he
stated his terms, that he would scare the
owners of the Sacramento team, but since
they wired him back "All right" and
have sent him money and ticket matters
have taken a serious turn. If he now in
sists on playing with the Louisville team
steps will be taken to prevent him.
The managers here claim that he belongs
to them, and they have notified President
None of the California League, and the lat
ter will wire President Young of the Ma
tional Association, SO as 10 prevent France
from throwing up his contract here
1t is quite probable that Hoffman, one
of the pitchers of the Houston, Tex, Club,
will be signed by the Sacramento Club.
The owners of the team have been CORE
spending with Hoffman, and yesterday
the following dispatch was received from
ex.Manager ]. B. McCloskey of the Hous-
ton Club:
"Send 500 advance and ticket, and
Hoffman will start Immediately. You
have good pitcher in him."
Hoffman, will probably arrive here by
Sunday. but will not be able to pitch in
the game.
The Sacramento managers have been
endeavoring to engage Chase, the Stockton
pitcher, for short time, to take the place
of Farrell, if his arm should give out in
the middle of a game.
