has become of the Derry club. This team
registered at the Central Hotel in this city
! on Saturday evening. They remained there
until last night and then mysteriously dis
appeared. All they left behind in the
shape OF memoir is their names. They
appear upon the hotel register as follows:
Thomas Purcell, Peter Everly, A. Gilbert.
Peter Kidney, Ed Day, Thomas Cahill.
William Enderline, F. Decker, 6. Cannon,
John Behan and L. Weiss, all from Pitts
burg.
Directly underneath this list of names is
written "Joe Wriggley, New York" The
latter is or was the manager of the Derry
Base Ball Club Inquiries last night from
concerning the whereabouts of Mr.. Wrigg-
ley and his athletes revealed little. The
most diligent efforts to find the club met
with no great success. They had disap-
peared completely. One searcher more
determined than the rest went to Lawrence
willie to look for the missing men and after
two or three hours spent in fruitless >chases
at last located the club.
Found in the Union mill.
They were all in the Upper Union Mill of
the Carnegie Steel Company getting ready
to go to work on the first turn, which
started at an early hour this morning. A
strange part Of the proceeding was that at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon delegation Of
five men claiming to represent the Carnegie
Strikers Baseball Club visited the Derry
Club at the hotel. The committee was
hv ffoor
Warren and Emanuel Schillo, of the strik-
ing Lawrenceville workmen. They are not
on friendly terms with the Derry Club, be-
cause the latter have been trying to down
them. Nevertheless, they wanted a game
with their opponents to show their superior
knowledge.
They tried to persuade Manager Wriggley
to allow his men to make some arrange
ments with them. Manager W1ggley re-
fused to accept the challenge, and further
more did not want his players to talk with
the members of the strikers club. Not
wishing to see 30 much talent remain with
out permanent engagement the delegation
from the strikers club tried to induce some
if not all of the Derry men to join their
ranks.

the national game except catching, and
even their ideas about this branch were
rather vague. What little they knew about

weeks past Growing tired of the confne-
ment of the mill on Saturday they asked to
be allowed to go out.
A Mistake in the Programme.
This was finally AGREED to. bnt for fear
the men would not return SUPERINTENDENT
Wrioolev was sent with them. Arrange
ments were made and nrobabTv no one
would have ever known that the Derry
Club was composed of nop-union men bnt
for slight mistake in carving ont the pro-
gramme. About 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon. as a passenger train on the Allegheny
Valley Railroad was passing the Thirty
third street mill, the ii non-union men and
their manager filed out of the works to take
