BASEBALL PRACTICALLY OVER.

Possible Chance That the Club may
 Remain Here - Secretary 0. ID.
 White in the City-The Team Leaves
 for BinghamtOn.
 The fate of the New Haven baseball cam was practically settled last evening md 1t is extremely doubtful if the New Haven public witness another professional game this season, or in fact for many suc- l cessive seasons. While it was not fully l decided last evening to disband the team, ! still there is but slight prospects that the game will again be played in this city this season at least. For some time past the has not been self-sustaining, and as 8 result the club has been run ming behind and in consequence Manager Shannon yesterday went to New York to confer with Secretary White in reference to the matter. Last evening Secretary White came to this city and had long conference with Director White of the local team. At this conference Director White stated that he was willing to put up as much as any one else in order to keep the team in the field, but it was doubtful if he could raise from among the other stockholders the amount of ready cash sufficient to carry the team through the season. There is at the present time two weeks salary due the players and no money practically with which to pay them.
 As 8 result of the conference last even- ing Secretary White ordered the players to start off on their trip, and in consequence the team left on the boat last night for Binghamton, where they play to-day and tomorrow. MT. White also decided to call g meeting of the Eastern league totbs held the local team will be definitely decided. It is just possible that at this meeting the league will offer to come to the assistance of the local club financially and carry 1t along for Q time at least, for if the club should disband at the present time without some arrangement being made for changes in the schedule it would damage the league considerably. New Haven's only hope for professional ball is in the fact that the league may take this view of the case and in consequence keep the team in this city. It is barely possible that the team may return to this city and play out
 the championship season, but tho outlook is dubious.
 On the other hand, 1t is also possibility
 that the league may decide to buy out one
 of the other clubs and continue the league
 through the season with eight clubs. The
 meeting in Syracuss this evening will be
 an all-important one, az upon it's decision
 the future of the league may rest.
 It is also barely possible that the local
 stockholders may get together to-day and
 decide to put their hands down into their
 pockets and put up a sufficient amount of funds to keep the team running through h the
 season, but this is one of the very remote
 possibilities. The directors would be per fectly willing to lose some money if there
 was any interest manifested in the game,
 but baseball Is 50 dead in this city that to maintain @ club here means loss to the stockholders of several thousand dollars. One thing the present amusement com pany will do is to meet every obligation in case the club does disband. The stock holders are determined that the city shall rot be disgraced as it was last year, when the players were not paid their salaries for the last two weeks the team played. WHERE THE PLAYERS WILL GO. In the event of the local team disband- ing the players will revert to the league and be utilized to strengthen some of the weaker clubs. It is rumored that Dan Shannon and several of the other players will be assigned to Buffalo at once, but none of the other players last evening would say that they knew anything in ref
 erence to such deal being on foot. YESTERDAYS GAME.
