GOOD DAYSCOMING
The Next Baseball Season Will
Be a Lively One.
THE PUBLIC INTERESTED AGAIN.

TO the Makeup OF the T~eams-ThIBE.
That Are said.
There is really very little doubt thai
there will be a great revival in the interest
in the national game In 1891. Any one
who desires TO find ont The value OF this
statement can do 50 very easily 10y making
hcanvass among his personal friend, whom.
he has heretofore known to be partial to
the game. He will lnd that the settle
ment Of the baseball war and the prospects
for a continuation Of the struggle for the
professional championships. such as ad
mirens OF the game witnessed in 1855 and
lSs9, have brought back 10 the fold many
n man who lost his interest from the dis
gust aroused by the chickering's which dis
graced the sport during the past season.
Among the cranks the most intense in
terest is displayed ms to the makeup OF the
teams FOR next year, but on this point very
little definite information can now be given.
There Will be an unusual amount OF trad
ing. and there will be new deals announced
nearly every dayAfter the first Of the year.
These will be caused by the desire OF Ger.
tain clubs to get rid OF certain men, and
the desire OF certain men 10 play iE other
clubs than those from which they seeded
last year. This applies mostly TO the cases
OF those men who were pronounced leaders
of the Brotherhood.

the players satisfied AS near as it is posi-.
BILE There is one point. though, on which
thief will not permit any interference or
allow any trouble TO be made. That Is in
the case OF the men who left the Brother
hood and stood by their clubs. The re.
turning players will not displace these
men, and they will not be allowed to queer
them in any way. No player will be forced
TO play with the men who were faithful to
the League when it was in trouble, but
their refusal TO do so will not cause the
League TO make any Determinations on
that account.
During the past week the conference
committees OF the League and the Ameri
can association have been busy arranging
the final details of the American associA-
tion circuit, and have nearly put things
into shape. Owing to the determined stand
taken by the Toledo club, its pleadings to
remain in the circuit. aud the exceeding
difficulty which will be experienced ia
either forcing or buying IL out, the project
Of putting an association team into Chi.
cage may be abandoned. Il seems to me
that it would be good policy 10 abandon il,
as it is extremely doubtful IL two clubs
could ever make a go In Chicago. There
has never been the slightest indication
that such a scheme would be successful
But whether Chicago or Toledo or Mil
wRukee be selected, the circuit when com
pleted and the teams which will play In
il Will be- the strongest and best eyer
known In the history Of the organization.
With Washington. Philadelphia, Boston
and Baltimore in the east, and St. Louis,
Louisville. Columbus and either Toledo,
Milwaukee or Chicago In the west, there
ought to be good fortune In store for every
club In the circuit Mr.. Barnie's strong
team Of last year will be made much
stronger by the addition Of Griffin, Shindle
and one or two good pitchers who will 10
at liberty. Won der Abe will have Comis
key, Robinson, King and Boyle back with
him. aud these with the men held over
from last season will give st. Louis a team
Of which il can well be proud. The Bos
ton aud Philadelphia (P. L) teams Of last
year will be kept pretty much the same In
the association. The places Of the men
returned to the League will be filled with
others almost as good. while Washington
will have a chance TO get together "A team
worthy OF the capital, for there never was
n time when good ball players were so
plentiful.
One OF the things which will increase tho
enthusiasm in all the cities in both the
League and Association circuits will be the
new faces in every team and the very equal
distribution Of playing talent. l DO not
mean by this that there will he eight teams
in each league OF equal strength. but | do
mean that the players will be more equally
distributed thar ever before, and tina no
team In either league will have a walk
over. The team which wins the peunant
that will be emblematic Of the worlds
championship in 1891 will have to play u
steady game from first TO last, and most OF
the time their work will have TO be OF the
most brilliant description.
