club.
It has Just leaked out that the Olym-
pic Club of New Orleans, had very little
capital previous to the recent fistic car
nival. 1t was very nervy move, but 1t
succeeded.
Choynski has started training.
Base Ball Gossip.
Cleveland players want their expenses
guaranteed on their California trip, so
that it is by no means sure that the club
will undertake the trip.
During the stay of the Brooklyns at
Boston the lack Of Harmony between
President ByrDe and Manager John
Ward was most marked. Ward Is man
ager only in name, as he has to play men
in position against his own Judgment.
One of the players Of the club said that
it was impossible TO play good ball In
Brooklyn on account of the way the club
was ieered and hooted at there, and that
Mr.. Byrne did not spare remarks when
members Of the club were unfortunate
enough to make errors of slip up at
the bat.
Ward pooh-poohes the idea to do
away with the gloves for every player
except the catcher and first baseman
and abolish the bunt hit. When asked
to what ascribed the falling of in In
terest and attendance in base ball, he
said that the public does not care to see
the clubs of the American Association
play ball. In big cities like Boston
they want to see more games with the
New Yorks, Brooklyns and Philadel-
phians and Chicagos, and less OF
the Baltimores, Louisvilles and st.
Louis.
Says Comiskey: ST think tho proper
remedy is a return to two leagues OF
eight clubs each, with one champion
ship and a shorter season." Fred
Pfeffer also favors shorter season,
with one championship, but thinks an
Eastern and Western League is true
solution of the difficulty.
Said Won der Abe, yesterday: 81
shall not engage any more players this
season nor make any more changes,
without possibly may trade Glasscock
for Shugart when go to Pittsburg next
week. l am spending an enormous
amount of money to build the finest
grand stand and base ball park In Amer
lea. l shall not have my present kind
of a club in that kind of q park next
season."
Yesterday Glasscock wired President
Young to know If he was eligible to sign
with any club. All the satisfaction he
received was this answer. "Your re-
lease was promulgated as per notice sent
by President Won der Abe" Manager
Buckenberger said: Ordinarily that
telegram would mean everything to
Glasscock and our club, but In view OF
the agreement among the club owners II
means nothing to Glasscock unless Won
der Abe tells the other clubs that he
does not want Glasscock any longer.
The League has an understanding, and
this is one of the means resorted to
save money. Glasscock is very high
priced player. I would not be surprised
if he laid idle the balance OF the sea-
son."
Pittsburg lost money on the western
trip.
Dan Lamb, the young man from Den
nison University, relieved Meakin al
Cincinnati Wednesday, and Cleveland
| only got four hits in the next five In
| nings.
Long has made 90 runs in 10 games
He made his Tooth run of the season or
Tuesday.
The Baltimores have tried 35 different
players this year, and the season is moi
yet over.
Umpire Burns does not wear mask OIL
chest protector Some day he will sus
tain serious injury, and be compelled
TO don those almost Indispensable.
Brouthers is not nearly so popular II
Brooklyn as he was earlier in the sea
son. He may not cover first base in the
Bridegrooms next season.
The Bostons continue to be great frs
inning scorers: They made ten runs IL
the first innings Of the Brooklyn series
Cleveland has only twelve games t
| NAV, and four victories will bring the
pennant there whatever happens IL
Boston.
Charley Bassett, who was knocked
ont by one of 1.-THE Gladator's ho
ones, has resumed his place at third fol
the Colonies.
Mike Kelly has started In once more
TO abuse the base ball writer's. Any
thing to keep in the game.
johnny Ward and Umpire Tom Burns
had an argument at Boston. Darkness
settled over the field, and when three
successive batsmen had swung unsuc
cessfully at straight pitched balls, thu
umpire called the game, after one Of the
Brooklyn players had been retired IL
the last half Of the ninth inning. Ward
however, couldn't induce Burns t
change his decision.
