of the Association. Under no circum- stances will the International be deserted if it's circuit is formed as mapped out.
 Manager Powers said last night: "1 am in favor of the International for Buffalo because think it is the best league at the present time. We will stick to the Inter national until it's name is mud for certain, and just now it has all the appearances of success. At any rate, whatever league we are in, you can set it down that we will have 8 hrst-class club"
 The same feeling prevails among the di- rectors of the club, and the answers to the telegrams from Cincinnati were not very encouraging for the Association people. Where Will Horner Play? That excellent pitcher and gentlemanly player, "Jack" Horner, has not as yet signed contract with the local manage ment for this season. Horner, who did such excellent work for the local team last year and could always be depended upon to be in good condition when wanted, has asked the local management for very slight advance over his last seasons salary. He was wanted badly by the Baltimore club this season, but he has so far refused to sign with them even though at a con- siderable advance over what he asks from the local management. Within 8 day or two he been approached by represents. tive of ''King" Kelly in the interests of the Cincinnati American association team. When Homer spoke to theMunson Brothers about his desired advance they assured him that the matter would be satisfactor- fly arranged upon the return of Manager Burnham from Rochester. Since his re- turn, however, Manager Burnham has not spoken to Horner upon the subject one way or the other. Should Horner be al lowed to go away from the city owing to the paltry. difference between him and the l management in regard to terms there would be even a greater amount Of dis satisfaction expressed by the patrons of the game than there was last season when Schoeneck was released. Look to 1t, Man ager Burnham, and secure his signature without delay. Players of his reliability and gentlemanly bearing are much too scarce in the ranks of the profession. The attention of the management is called to the following from the Baltimore core spondent of "The Sporting Life:" "Any Association club that wants pretty fair pitcher should wire Frank Horner, Ire mont house, New Haven, Conn. He has made no contract yet, and his work last season was about equal to that of Doran's." "
