The release OF Ward by tho New-York club will
cause much comment by the followers of the game
in this neighborhood. Many people would like to see
Ward back on his old team, but those convcrsaht
with the inner workings Of baseball think that the
change will be a Sensible one.
The New-York club will not be weakened so much
the Brooklyn club will be benefited by the change
Ward is Just the for the hcadleSS Brldegroohls,
and he will captain and manage the team he viii
I'LL void which has been that teams weakness since
its birth. Ward has not formally signed with the
Brooklyn club. but he and President G. ii. Byne
have thorough understanding and the putting Oh his
name contract will be more of u matter OF form
than anything else.
Ward in the New-YOrI club Is an entirely different
man. The Giants need lcadei, for william Ewing
fills that bill 10 the entire satisfaction Of everybody.
Ward and Ewing might not get along in the harmony
necessary to successful baseball team Tor
they are not the best Of friends, ana II
