CHANGES IN THE WASHINGTON TEAM
The changes that everybody knew were COM
ing in the National base ball team when the an
nouncement was made of the signing of the
Omaha men are beginning to be made. The
first one was the release of Slattery, which has
already been announced in this paper and the
second installment was made Saturday night.
when II was announced that First baseman
McQuery and Catcher Lehman had been
handed their releases. No one will be put In
place of Lehman. "a the cub now has two re-
liable catchers-NcGuire and Sutcliffe-whlIe
McQuerys position at first will be occupied III
the future by McCauley. formerly of Omaha.
1t is expected by the directors that the change
will be for the better, as McQuery has not
been hitting the ball of late. while McCaulev,
so far this season, has made an excellent bat
ting record. and has been doing n trite better
than his predecessor in field work. He is a
very large man. has an average OF 800 i'll bat
ting and 9S2 in fielding.
But the most important announcement was
flTrH nG loo IL
interest ever since the news OF Shannon's adj
vent was first published in The STAR. and thu.
was that Manager Snyder would cease to be
with the club after Thursday of this week.
This Is merely what everybody really expected.
although II was persistenLy denied by the
directory from the start. snyder has done
little or nothing to improve the team work OF
the nihe. shannon will take his place as man
ager and will begin at once to reorganize and
to establish a new system.
HALLIGAN WRITES LETTER.
Halligan, who was to have come here but
who went to the Cincinnati league club after
he had accepted the advance money of the
Nationals has written to President Bennett
saying that the only reason why he signed in
Cincinnati was that that club offered him more
money. He returned the advance money and
said that he was sorry that the thing Lad hap
pened. He was asked by the home club how
much money he wanted and he was offe red the
figure that he named. While he was OH his WY
east he was offered more money and he took it
without even consulting his former cap plain. who
had negotiated his transfer. Or course the re-
turn of the advance money was the proper
thing. and ii is likely that nothing will ever be
heard of the Halligan case i'll the future I'M
less II be brought up an argument against
the league at the time when the peace negoti-
atoms are on.
THE OMAHA BULLETIN.
praai1ap4 md boir 90 H. L.,
and national board excuses his recent bulletin
to the Omaha players on the ground that he
had not been served with a copy Of the releases
which they hold from Omaha. He saws that he
has received Halligans release and that that
PLAYER was quite a liberty to sign with Cincin-
natl on that account. This places Mr.. McCor-
mick. the president of Omaha, in i very
peculiar light and makes him out to be u yery
shrewd base ball maguate. measuring him or
the standards OF the league and its satellites.
He gave five men their releases and he forwarded
that of but one of them to tn. national board.
The fact that these five men received their re-
leases was sufficient reason for Them TO sign
where they pleased. and the fact that McCOr-
mick failed In his duty was not their fault.
The Baltimore management tried its hand at
making mistakes last week and Washington, as
usual. was the sufferer. The Nationals had ar
ranged to play of a postponed game i'll Balti-
more on Thursday and everything was thought
date belongs to Boston, or. at least tina. Bos-
ton claims it, and as Boston is liable to be the
greater attraction and to draw the larger
crowd the arrangement with Washington was
repudiated Oh the ground of base ball lav
