WHAT BARNIE SAYS:

"He said there was no hard feeling be-
tween himself and Won der Horst, and that
he would 60 to the Athletics with the best
reeollections of Baltimore and his compan
ions in the management of the club. Re-
garding the future policy of the American
Association, be said it would be extremely
aggressive. The Association would not hes
itate to spend money if necessary to hold its
own. Already, he said, the clubs in the
Association were throwing out their hooks
to catch some of the League stars for next
season. 1t was altogether likely that the
Association would place a club in Brooklyn
and another in the Twin Cities. He said
that he would probably engage Russo. the
great pitcher of the New York "Giants
TO hold down the Association sluggers next
season for the Athletics. Russo is very
much disgruntled because he was not al
lowed to visit his home in Indianapolis
during the illness of his father, and he is
said to be in the market.
''The players of the New York League
Club who engaged in the last games of
their club with the Bostons are very warm
about the collar over the insinuatiOnS of
crookedness made against them by Presi-
dem "Figurehead'' Hart, of the Chicago
club. and if the committee of investigation
aCQultS them of wrOng-dolng (and It's dol
lars TO peanuts the committee does acquit
them). they will, it is said, employ counsel
and bring an action against "'Figurehead''
for SANDER.
GRIFFIN NOT SIGNED.
'Grifin says he has not attached his sig
nature TO an athletic contract and does not
know that he will. Griffin can afford to
wait. Barnie is very much pleased with
his work this wear and would like to get
him in the Athletic team again. The Ath-
letics, by the way, ought to loom up next
season. Barnie will undoubtedly cluster
around him some of the best players in the
country, and he will make bold bid for
the pennant
"A morning paper says that the new
American Association ball club Just incor-
porated in this city has already secured the
following players for next season: Pfeffer,
Gumbert, Ryan and Kittredge, of Chicago;
Richardson and Connor, of New York, and
Hart, pitcher of Sioux City. Ia.
1t is safe to say that there is not a word of
truth in the above dispatch. Ad. Gumbert,
who has returned home to this city, en-
phatically declares that he has not signed
with any association club and he is not in
clined TO.

the stories OF the Association are giving the

rumors are being circulated entirely as a
means of soaring people and in the interests
Of ball players who have not signed for
next season.
The meeting of the local auditors that
was announced to be held last evening, has
been postponed until next Monday evening
The chief question for consideration is that
of advance money. Some directors state
that it win be paid, and others say it will
not, and so the matter stands. 1t would
perhaps be better for all concerned, if the
signing of players and everything pertain
ing TO it, were left in the hands of one or
two men. II this were done players would
be signed more readily and with less bother
and uncertainty.
