BALL NEXT SEASON.
Managers and Players Discuss the
 Prospect.
Is the Problem solyed-spaldIng says So and Gives His Reasons-The Sched- ule win Be Thorough
 ty Fairs
[coPYRIGHr, lso2.l


 The baseball world is beginning to roll itself into it's usual spring promi- hence, and while managers are busy signing the players assigned to them, the public is awaiting patiently the be- ginning of what is predicted will be a new era in the sport. The accompany ing statements from managers show a most sanguine feeling on their part in the success of the sport.
 In all the league cities new faces will appear in the teams, but only com paratively few new players. Glasscock will enthuse St. Louis, while Boyle and King, the old time champion battery will do service for the Giants. Brouth- CTS has signed with Brooklyn, while Peffer will undoubtedly don a Louis vile uniform. Van Haltren will man. age Baltimore, while Tebeau will do the same service for Cleveland.
 Barnie's face will be new to Wash ington, but his excellent managing methods are well known and he will undoubtedly bring these perennial tail enders into good place at the end of the second, if not of the first season. In St. Louis Won der Ahe, assisted by George Munson, will do the managing. Louisville has Chapman for manager, Chicago it's old-time Anson, Pittsburgh has Buchenberger, while for Boston Selee will adorn the bench. In New York Mutrie goes to the new Eastern

association, and Pat Powers is getting together team of Giants that will give the best of baseball clubs 8 mighty tussle.
 The schedule is ready and gives the old association teams the fairest kind of g. show. This assurance from Mir. Byrne is sufficient to satisfy the patrons and the clubs interested.
 As far as rules are concerned there will be no further changes, and on this point Dave Foutz, the great pitcher and all-around ball player, has 8 word to say here.
 BASEBALL WILL BOOM.
 At the present time the prospects for a successful season are very encourag- ing. The fact that the National league and American association have come to an amicable settlement of their late misunderstanding and joined forces in one grand international organization is sufficient to arouse the baseball public to hope that certainly this year there will be grand struggle for champion ship honors by the clubs representing the different cities in the circuit.
 This season the club winning the pennant will without doubt be consid- SAOA OLO O4 uAAC OA4VCN SbdOCSs Heretofore, while the two major bodies were apart, there was always ques- tion of who really were the champions.
 With the two great major organiza- tions consolidated into one grand na- tiona1 association the game is bound to take new life. Not only are the twelve most representative cities included in the circuit, but the different clubs are composed of the very best players of the baseball profession. This will war rant that each and every club will be an important factor in the race for the pennant.
 This twelve club league, it strikes me, will be decided success. Coming, as 1t does, in presidential year is very fortunate.
 The fact that we are to have two championship series will keep the pub
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-03-05

by the fight for the championship i'm almost every year in the past. It has been the experience that, in the middle of the season, the clubs are, as a rule, punched, and the real spurt between the close clubs has not come until the latter end of the season. All this tends to prove that the half season will witness the most exciting finishes baseball has yet known. Of course, the club that happens to& be crippled at the end of the first sea- son will have chance to show its mettle in the second half. And put this down as finale-Broolxlyn will be in it at the finish. CHARLES H. BYRNE.
 THE PITCHING SEASON FOR 1899.
 This will be my tenth season in pro- fessional baseball, and during that time I have never known a season where the pitching strength of the clubs has divided up so unequa1ly. While taken together the thirty-six pitchers apportioned to the twelve clubs are the strongest combination we have ever known in one league, there is de- cided weakness in their individual makeup. But this may all be remedied, and believe it will be, for there is q very evident desire on the part of every. body to have the clubs matched as nearly equal as possible.
 The twelve club league in my opinion ought to be success. We have the twelve best cities in the country to play in, and the best players will be put in the field. Then the two seasons ought to help matters along. It has been my experience-and have been with pennant winners eight times and played for the worlds championship five times-that during the middle of the season half of the clubs will be pretty we'll punched. In St. Louis we always made our squirt toward the end of the season. It was the excellent team work that helped us and every man playing to win. But it took weeks to get the boys into trim for the best united playing.
 don't believe it will be necessary to make any changes in the rules. We have got our hands pretty full with 'esting the policy of twelve club eague and double season without try ng any new rules to perplex the pub
 ic. Under the rules in force now tn

lie interested from the beginning to the end of the season. In former years the championship contest would simmer down by the Fourth of July to two or three clubs. This season that will be impossible. In the first series clubs that are composed of men who are strangers to each others methods will be handicapped to a certain extent by a lack of team work. This will be over come in short time owing to the intel igence of the material composing the new teams. While the teams that are accustomed to playing together will have gained slight advantage, the new clubs will be in good playing form long before the first series is decided
 Again, the time the second series is begun the nation will be interested in another national contest, The two great political parties of the country will have placed in nomination their candidate for the presidency. During former presidential years the interest n baseball would decrease as the sea son closed. In fact. it would have to be Q very close struggle in order to hold the attention of the public

8 great many minor league teams, will endeavor to pilot our team to victory. He is well and favorably known. A strict disciplinarian, thoroughly tenn perate, he understands the points of the game and will be general favorite with the players and public.
 Among the new faces that will ap- pear is Boyle, who has been the main- stay of the St. Louis club for the past four or five years. He needs no introduction to the general public and will successfully catch the swift pitch ing of Rusie and King.
 Silver King will aid Rusie in the pitchers box, and with Boyle to catch him will revive the famous battery that won the world championship for St. Louis.
 At short G1asscock is replaced by Shorty Fuller-a player with great one of the best ehortstops in the pro. fession. At third Bassett is replaced by the terrific hitter Denny Lyons. New York will see the third base GOV. cred as it has never had the pleasure of seeing it before
 Ewing, whose services as field gem eral the New Yorks were deprived of last season owing to his lame arm, will cover first base and alternate with Boyle catching. Thus the team will have the benefit of his services in every game. ..t
 Our outf1eld will be about the same as last season-Gore, Tiernan and O'Rourke covering the different posi- tions in the field. Van Zant, a very successful amateur, has been engaged as change pitcher and fielder. The team has quite number of available pitchers signed and on the practice trip at Richmond all will have a chance to show their ability. Barring the loss of Dan Richardson at second base, the team is great deal stronger than last year, and we confidently think it will occupy a leading position in the race for the pennant. J. w. SPALDING.
 ST. LOUIS WILL HAVE A FINE CLUB.
 While opposed the twelve club league when the idea was first broached, feel now that the interests of fbaseball are best subserved by the new agree ment. think the sport will receive a fresh impetus this season by reason of the new elements that have, been brought into play. The St. Louis club IS stronger than 1t ever was, and we will show the patrons of baseball all over the country a championship form such as will eclipse even the playing of the St. Louis club during it's most sue cessful season. CHRIS VoT DER AHE
 EVERYBODY WILL BE FAIRLY TREA TED.
 To my mind tho twelve club league will undoubtedly be success. One of the things that will tend most to this much-desired end will be the fact thas there will be no 'tthrow downs" for the old association clubs. In the new schedule they will be treated with the same fairness as the old clubs, and in some instances even better. It will be the excellent and thoroughly just and hmpnxtial schedule thnsk sssll ss hsssA Ass

 CONSIDERS THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
 It is great pleasure to note that the solution of the baseball problem that has been vexing the baseball world for years and the new situation created through the consolidation of the late rival league and association into. one great twelve-club league have been readily accepted by the capital ists, the press, the players and, most inn portant of all, the great public, and that there is general disposition to re-, gard the work accomplished as the best thing that could be done, all things considered, to save the game from threatened collapse and to place it in a position to recover all of it's former prestige and popularity. The outlook for baseball in New York is most prom ising.
 The baseball public last season had the pleasure of seeing eight as strong clubs as were ever organized. This year twelve clubs containing the pick of the muscle and skill of the baseball profession will follow each other in quick succession at the Polo grounds. The greatest field generals on the dia- mond, such as Anson, Comisky, Ward, Ewing and Nash, will direct the bat ties for the pennant. The greatest batsrnen, swiftest base runners, most phenomenal felders, marvellous pitch CTS and wonderful backstops will pass in grand review before the spectators at the Polo grounds. The makeup of the teams for the year is very fine, all though & great many changes take place. A new manager, MT. P. T. Powers, who has successfully managed

pitchers have really an easier time of lA than under the old four strike rules, and it should be the aim of the mana gers of all clubs to save their pitchers as much as possible. Under the three strike rule the pitcher has fewer balls to send over the plate, and necessarily less work. That fourth strike and fifth ball may come in handy some times, but at the end of the game the pitcher feels the extra exertion he has been put to. DAVID l.. FoUTz. PRAISE FROM PHILADELPHIA.
 Never in the history of baseball has the, prospect for successful season been brighter; never has there been such perfect harmony among the baseball powers in this country. This fact, in my opinion, leads to the hope that the game of baseball will be re- vivcd in all its pristine glory. As far as can see the division of the players has been fair and equitable. I know that Philadelphia will be strong in every part of the field and will play with 8 vim and energy equal to the best days of the old league. As far as the two-season idea is concerned believe 1t will be success, and think that the public generally will watch the fin- ish each time with the same intense in- terest that has marked the great and close finishes of the past.

Prof. Garner, the weli-known enthusiast on
the subject Of monkey language, is again at
tracing attention. Several months ago he
sent paper to be read before the Bar Associa-

solve, the problem OF monkey speech.
A few weeks later he started for the baboon
country in Africa to study the alleged Simian
ancestors on their soil. Hisintention was to
visit the Congo country first and then go into

with which TO prosecute his studies and to Sc
cure records Of the so-called monkey speech.
