John NJ. Walz Vice President of the
the city yesterday. As usual, the genial
young magnate had much of very interest
ing kind TO say about baseball affairs. He
has no fear OF the future now and emphatic
ally stated that two things were sure, viz, !;
That the Association would have a good
circuit and that fancy salaries would cease.
During long and frank conversation, he
said:
'Our new circuit will be Boston, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington in the
East, and Columbus, Chicago, st. Louis
aud Louisville in the West. We will have
this circuit. depend upon it OF course, l am
aware OF the opposition of the Boston National
League club but the Boston gentlemen must
remember that they cannot rule the country.
We stood by the side of the League last year
when desertion meant ruin to it; we helped
them tight the battle that killed the enemy
and surely we have some claim for recognition.
Regarding Chicago, there will be no trouble
there. The city League there mag try and
interfere with us playing Sunday ball, but if
that League can play on Sundays. SO can we
II that League stops us we will still stay in
Chicago, because even without Sunday ball, we
think it better than Milwaukee"
Mr.. Walz continued: Certainly. we are aware
about the obStiDacy OF Toledo. We don't want
to have any law trouble over the matter, but
Toledo must 90. Why, time and time again we
played there, when there wasn't money
enough taken in to pay our guarantee. Of
course, we got il, but the city cannot by
any means, support good team that is a team
ciass enough for the American Association. If
Toledo reuires quietly, all right and if it does
not IL Will still have to 60 thar is all there is
about 1t. Regarding the price of admission to
our games, all L can say Is that far as
know, cities that want TO charge so cents can
do 30. AT Baltimore, ST. Louis and Louisville
think we will continue at 25 cents. MIR. Prince
wants To charge 80 cents at Boston, and he will
be allowed to do So President Thurman has
everything all arranged and 1 don't think his
plans will be changed. Mr.. Thurman is an able
man and devotes considerable time to baseball
affairs. OF course, Mr.. Phelps would have
still been President had he desired the
position
Speaking about the players salaries, Mr.
MaIz said: "1hey will have TO come down.
I'm going to try and sign Cunningham on this
tllp and I'll do with him what We intend to do
with Griffin, Shindle and Kiroy. We will
r orer them our terms and they do as they choose
with them. We won't change. would like to
see Tommy Quinn before leave this city. Of
course We expect to have Tommy. We will
have good team, ana / think We Will all make
money this year. l may add that there is no
possibility whatever of Bierbauer playing in
Plttsburs, or with any other League team. He
Will remain in the American Association, and
will likely play with the Athletics"
