Everthing is activity among the local
baseball magnets now. They meet almost
every day and they are in anticipation of a
good opening time. Yesterday afternoon
President Temple said:
Il am thoroughly satisfied at the way
things are progressing, but there is one
thing 1 wish the public to emphatically
understand, viz, that we are going to give
Jerry Denny a trial here. We have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by engag-
ing him. He will cost us nothing and if he
turns out to be anything like he was
season or two ago we will be very great
gamers This is the way to look at the
matter McAleer states that during the
winter Denny has been playing an extra
ordinary game at third in the far West. If
he can keep this up then we are all right 1
want Denny to understand that there is no
opposition to his coming here and that if he
conducts himself all right he is likely to ell
the bill in all respects. This statement is
definite; Denny will be here if we can
arrange terms with him. "
Hotels For the Players.
Manager Buckenberger has arranged his
list of hotels at the various cities where the
local team will stay. Thev are as follows:
New York and Brooklyn, Sturtevant; Phil
auelphia, Continental; Boston, United
States; Washington, Randall; Baltimore,
Eutaer; Cleveland, Hollenden; Chicago,
fremont; Cincinnati. Gibson: Louisville. The
Louisville The hotels, it will he observed.
are all of high standard, so that the bows
will have nothing to grumble about on that
score.
An exhibition, game has also been ar
ranged with the Reading team, to be played
at Reading July IL The Reading players
are very anxious to tackle the Pittsburgers,
and doubtless the contest will be profitable
enc it the weather is fine.
Regarding the proposed Cuba trip in the
fall, Manager Buckenberger said: "Mr.
Kelly, of Mobile, has the grounds leased at
Cuba, and he is not inclined to give them
up, so l fear that our trip will be knocked
on the head. Of course, our trip would be
a speculative one; that is, the club would in
no way be responsible for it. I think we
could make money. have Just had letter
from Billy Earle, and he tells me that he is
determined to surprise everybody in Pitts
burg this season.
He Is in Excellent Condition,
and it may be that he will play great
game. Our players at Hot Springs are
also doing extremely well, and think they
are making money The receipts of the
games are divided into three parts, the two
teams each getting part and the Park As
sociation the other. There will be some
exciting playing there this next week"
Speaking of the opening day here, the
manager stated that there will be an excur-
sion train from Wheeling on that day, as the
Wheeling patrons of the game want to see
their townsman. Jack Glasscock, play. The
probabilities are that if Denny is secured
and is all right he will be on third on the |
opening day and Farrell in left field
The directors Of the club held meeting |
yesterday afternoon and definitely decided |
10 have 1000 25-cent seats in deep center |
field. This was almost the only available |
place, as to have them erected in any other |
location would have interfered with the |
present seats. The directors were not in |
clined to do this A turnstile will be built |
for the new seats at the corner of the park |
next the Union bridge. The directors also |
decided to put in two more new turnstiles |
for the regular seats. |
