DOYLE TO RE RELEASED.

Other Changes Contemplated in the Makeup of the Local Team-The Management Determined 10 Have a Winning Club in This CIty-The Team Will Play Good Hall From Now on.
 The recent western trip of the New Ha- ven club has been decidedly unsatisfactory and in consequence several changes will probably take place in the makeup of the team within the next few days. The man. agement have determined to place win ming team in this city and will do so if the public will but support them in their eff forts. The unsatisfactory showing of the team on its recent trip was due to three causes, viz, hard luck, poor umpiring and more than all else to disposition on the part of several of the players to indulge too much in the use of ardent spirits Each one of the offenders has been severe ly disciplined and several will undoubtedly be released within the next few days. In addition to all the other troubles of the team Lang has been out of condition owing to a severe cold in his eye, but is coming around all right oSolA o2l4 hV NAA PlODablN DdIl lO- days game. Doran has been again imbib- ing too freely in the use of liquor and in consequence has not pitched the ball he was capable of doing while the team was away from home. He is probably at it again on his return to this city, as he failed to show up at the grounds yester- day afternoon until after the close of the game.
 The first move decided upon will be the unconditional release of Doyle, which ac- ton will be consummated to- day, and in the future Sales will guard the third base for the local team.
 The management complain that the pub lie has not supported the club any too well at times when the club has done deserving work, and they are of the opinion that the interest in the sport in this city has fallen off very materially. They have been heretofore extremely backward in men tioning the fact that they have been com pelled to go down into their pockets to make up deficiencies, but such has really been the case. They propose to meet all their obligations to the players and to make immediate changes in the team which they hope will be satisfactory to the public, and in return they ask the support of the public and feel confident that the club will very shortly regain its lost posi-
 
 snce as that at yesterdays game the club cannot hope. to continue throughout the season, and its dropping out of the league means the absolute death of professional base ball in this city for several years to come. While the team has perhaps no chance to secure first place in the race, the contest for second place will be equally interesting, as Syracuse and Albany are but a few points ahead of them. and the local team has the advantage of having to play two-thirds of their games at home, which will be of decided advantage to them.
 Manager Burnham is confident of win ming second place in the race and it is to be hoped for the good and perpetuity of the game in this city larger crowds will hereafter be present to witness the con- tests.
 The Lebanon team will play against the local men this afternoon and a decidedly good contest may be expected as the home team will make every effort in their power to win the game.
