Yesterdays Baltimore american said: The
Washington club managers took long chances
yesterday. The weather was threatening, and
in order TO save hotel expenses they passed
through the city, leaving catcher Milligan be-
hind to act as q telephone lineman- Manager
Hsnlon waited until nearly IL o'clock for his
batting order, which, under the law. is due ut
10 o'clock. and then it was turned in by Willie
Wagner in a very peculiar way. Had the
weather cleared up Baltimore could have
claimed game,a the washingtons were ':et in
the city"
Kilroy and Mcmahon will probably be the
pitchers today.
President Von der Abe wants a special meet
ing Of the league called To- take action in the
cases Of Browning and Hardie Richardson. both
of whom, he thinks ought TO have been awarded
to him. The president of the Browns saws he
received notice that the Louisville club had
waived claim to Browning several weeks ago
and az once telegraphed President Young that
he wanted the man. Mr.. Young granted per-
mission TO negotiate, and Mr.. Won der Abe re-
quested Browning to name his terms. Brown
ing asked for IS. 500 salary, and Mr.. Won der
Abe only desired to give him $4,000. While
president and player were exchanging messages,
Mr.. Won der Ahe declares. the Louisville club
discovered that 1t wanted the great batsman
and signed him. The St. Louis man also as
serts that he made n claim for the services Of
Richardson, but the New York club ignored
him and secured the player. Mr.. Won der Abe
says: Il believe President Young means we'll
but his ideas and mine in reference to the
awarding Of players do not agree. At the In
dianapolis meeting it was stipulated that the
club which first claimed player open to pc
gotiation had a right to sign the man, but Nr.
Young seems to have misunderstood the ruling.

Tim Keefe and weyhing will do the pitching
for the Phillies today. while King and Rusie
will be in the box for the Giants.
Manager Irwin has concluded to put Robin
son on the bench and to play Dowd at short
today. Local cranks are wondering when the
experiments Will Cease so tnat tQe nine can
play together as q completed team.
John Ward thinks the twelve-club idea will
not last many seasons, but he does not antici-
pate any more troublesome outbreaks. The
great fault of the twelve-club idea is the extra
expense to the clubs, made necessary by addi-
tional travelling and the loss Of a great deal of
rest to the players In the twelve-club sched-
ule the players get only one nights rest at a
hotel in three, except when they have q lay
over on Sunday. That makes it about as trying
as travelling with a circus or q one-night-stand
theatrical company.-Philddelphid Press.
By changes made in the New York team Fuller
is to lead off at the bat, position he occupied
in the Browns, where he gained his fame as a
base winner. Gore is put down to sixth place
and O'Rourke is preceding him. Lyons has
been succeeded on third by Bassett, who has
had an opportunity to recover from his recent
illness. This. with the reading of the riot act
by Manager Powers. has awakened the Giants
and their work in consequence has revived in
terest in the game at home somewhat.
Hereafter John Irwin will guard third base
for the Binghamton team Of the Eastern League.

he would be brought here to play third. The
report Is not well founded.
