Toledo Falls Down.
ToLEDo. Feb. 1.-The meetings look
ing 10 the organization OF a ball clab for
next season have not been attended Icy
a sufficient number Of business men TO
warrant the step, and the matter has
been dropped. 1t WAS solely matter
for business men to decide. for they all
admit that bail club is good thing
for a city. The Western Association
doors were open 10 Toledo, and
Toledo had club, IN reserve,
which cost over 5000 to get to-
gether. The club MIR. Ketcbam
generously offered TO turn over To
the people of Toledo, and agreed 10 aid
the new club III other ways. But the
business men would not take hold of
it, and the younger men, who were
willing to contribute, did not feel like
taking the burden upon their shoulders.
Today the players Of the old Toledo
club are busy negotiating with other
clubs and in few days most of them
will have signed their contracts. Wer-
den and Heaiy will go To Baltimore;
Van Dyke in MI probability VIII be
found NJ the Athletic team; Ssiitn IS
wanted hv half dozen clubs, but will
probably east his lot with the Denver
boys. Other members of the team will
be well provided for, aud McGuire. OF
Rochester, will sign with a league club,
probably Cleveland, N Il few days.
