The once famous one-armed pitcher,
Hugh Daily, ia reported TO be now playing
with an amateur club in a Pennsylvania
town. And yet this man once did what
some league players are now trying to do
threw himself out Of the profession because
his salary notion was too high Six hundred
dollars a month used to be Daly's idea of
compensation. Now he cannot command
that much for a whole season.
The ak has been steadily at work In the
ranks of the league since July l. So far as
heard from the Cincinnati, New York St.
Louis, Baltimore and Washington clubs
have materially reduced their salary lists
Boston hasn't made much of a cut yet,
but will likely 60 deeper later on. Brook
Ign, Philadelphia aud Pittsburg had not yet
at last accounts applied their knife to
the high salary ulcer, but will do it sooner
or later. The probability is that not

There is absolutely nothing, Sporting
Life says, In the stories emanating from
the west about two big sectional leagues
next season. There is just as much chance
Of the sun ceasing TO shine as there is of
such base ball reorganization for years TO
come. The 12-club league is q success from
every point Of view.
The present New York team, according
| to Sporting Life, is a whole sermon against
| expensive teams. 1t draws $50, 900 from
the club treasury, and is one OF the bitterest
disappointments ever placed upon the field.
The Boston team has the pennant safe
| now, while the proba are that Brook
| Ign and Philadelphia will finish as they now
rank-respectively second and third. The
fourth club will be In all probability Gin
| ciDnati. Cleveland will have to content her
| self with fifth place, and Pittsburg will in
| all probability Illustrate Washington's hope
! OF Flushing in sixth place. New York has
| passed Chicago. and the chances are that the
| Colts will have TO remain ninth. Tenth
| place Is still debatable as between st. Louis

the Browns. The BaltimoreS will finish
