Nrv NoEK. January 24.-MeSSrS. j.
NJ Spalding. Day, Talcott and McAlpin
have been appointed 10 select the New
York team for next season. Inere nav
been many gueSSeS regarding the make
nm of the team, but il is likely That the
following players will wear the Giants
uniform:
Tim Keefc, Mickey Welch. Amos
Rusie. Jack Sharrott. pitchers; Buck
Ewing. Buckley and Clarke, catcherS;
Common. first base: Richardson, second
base: Denny, third; GlaSScock. short
stop: tore. johnson, Herman and Siattery
.out6eldcrs. An informant says that Jim
O'Rourke will not be retained because
he is not popular with certain players IN
the club. II this array OF players Is
chosen, it will throw upon the market
some excellent men. Bill Brown, Ed
Crane. Hank O'Day, Whistler, BaSSett'
Hornunc. Burkett, Whitney, Hatfield,
O'Rourke and Pat Murphy will find
plenty of clubs in need of their services.
The expected trouble by some indl-
vidualS is i'm the placing of GlaSScocR
Denny. RuSie and Buckley upon the
same team with the old brotherhood
plavers. The owners of the New York
club. however say that those players
who are disposed 10 create Ill feeling,
and who DO not work for the CLUB ;
Interests all the time, will be lmmedl-
ateiy relieved of their positions.

Gently il was learned that while there
was considerable feeling among Broth
crhood men against the So-called desert

there was also a tendency 10 forget the
past and play ball for the good OF the
game. While at the start some OF the
brotherhood men in the New York club
may feel a little not under the collar
when they walk out upon the held win

B. Dav. there is every possibility that

meanor. What New York wants Is
bali team composed of winning, hard
working players. who care little Tor
sentiment aud personal feelings, but
who are ever anxious to land New York
i'm the leading position of the National
League race.
