Milwaukee, Cincinnati and Louis
vile Dickering.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 14-PreSi-
dent Gillette, of the Milwaukee Base
Bail association, received a dispatch
late this afternoon from Cincinnati
stating that Louisville. st. Louis. Wash
ingtOn. Boston and Baltimore have as
scented to the proposed transfer of the
Cincinnati American association team
to Milwaukee. The terms offered are
satisfactory to the Milwaukee men. and
they have wired their acceptance, and
representatives OF the association will
start for ST. Louis tonight to attend a
meeting. The terms include the reten-
ton of Bancroft as the financial man
ager of the team. 1t is said that
the following players will be retained:
Mari, Caravan, Willie Mains. Dwyer,
and possibly Carney. King Kelly has
already gone to the National league.
This move of Nilwaukee'S, without
doubt, means the collapse Of the West
ern association, since the Brewers were
about their only solid team.
CINCINNATI. Aug. 1.-THE air is full
of wild rumOrs about the probable final
disposition OF the Cincinnati association
club. Manager Bancroft says he has
not been ordered to disband his club.
On the contrary, he has been ordered to
go 10 st. Louis with the team.
The stories that the club had
gOue under, as published in the
morning papers here, brought the
players of the club down early, demand
ing their pay. They were refused
afternoon and they would be paid.
There are kilograms at the DenniSon
house for Manager Gillette, of the Mil
waukee club. Something has been
going on. but what it is cannot be
learned certainly. 1t is sure, however,
that Gillette's visit to Louisville had
some significance, and that Won Der
Abe aid Brush have not been i'll con-
SultatiOn for nothing.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. l4-PreSident Won
Der Ahe said this morning that the Gin
cinnati club Will not be diSbanded, but
will play its regular schedule for the
remainder Of the season. The tempo
TarY arrangement perfected at Louis
vile practically assures this. If Mil
Waukee is admitted to the American as
SociatiOn 1t will be as ninth club and
il will play no games unless some other
club SurrenderS franchise.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA special to
the World, from Cincinnati, says the
American association has shown the
white feather in that city. and that the
Cincinnati association team will be dis
banded at once. Milwaukee will take
the pick of the Cincinnati players and
fill in the dates of the latter club, open
ing up in st. Louis on Saturday. This
programme is the result of a confer
ence which has been held in Louisville
between Barnie, Won Der Abe and
Phelps. President Kramer knows
nothing Of it, and it is highly probable
that he will resign at once when he
hears of it. Kelly will in all probability
sign with the Cincinnati league team as
captain and manager.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 1.-The
stockholders of the Louisville Base Ball
club met this afternoon to consider the
effort of eX-President Parsons to dis
pose of 4 controlling interest IN the
club. 1t is now stated that Parsons
did not succeed in selling 10
Gillette, of Milwaukee, because Gil
lette did not believe the associations
consent TO the transfer to Milwaukee
could be obtained and he preferred the
Cincinnati club. AT the meeting a pool
was formed and 754 shares of stock was
placed in the hands of Attorney Zach
Phelps TO secure the retention of the
club in this city. This lacks about 800
shares of a controlling interest. Parsons
claims to have l, OBS shares under a legal
agreement and this carries the control.
He IS looking for buyer and says he
viii sell when he can get his price.
