Appleton of the New York League ball
club returned from Elmirs this morning and
to crowd of newspaper men limited that
Danny Richardson, the famous baseman,

Brotherhood man, "snd Is for Mike Kelley,

clared their firm belief that If Richardson
had not positively signed he had given his
word to Mr.. Appleton to stand by the old
club.
