DISPATCH from Baltimore says: Presi-
dent Won der Horst, of the Baltimore Club,
tonight announced that he had signed Lew
Whistler, the frst-baseman of the New York
League team. The player is in st. Louis
and for some time has been dissatisfied
with the New York Club. He claims that he
has not been treated rightly, and has had no
chance to show his ability. Whistler was
signed through the efforts of ex-Manager
Ted Sullivan and no doubt will prove a good
man for the Baltimore Club. President Won

catcher and two new outflelders. There is
possibility of McPhee, of the Cincinnati
League team, coming to Baltimore.
