A. q. spaidine and the New York Directors
Talk on the Question.
| Local baseball cranks were much stirred up
| by the report from Chicago to the effect that
Arson might become member OF the New
| York Baseball Club. On all sidos were heard
admiring com m nts on tho great field general.
and there was general expression OF opinion
| that tho securing OF the old man would be
grand stroke for New York. and give the game
here boom that 1t has never before known.
| 1t is admitted that Arson could take tho pres
| ent New York team In 1903 and have 1t In
championship form before the season opened.
A. q. Spalding OF. President OF the Chicago
Club. was asked yesterday II there was any
prospect OF Arson coming to Now York.

SO far as actual negotiations for Anson's trans

notify those Interested in the Chicago Club.
But II tho old man desired to cast his Tor
tunes with those OF some other club. would
any serious objection be raised by the Chicago
officials

sixteen years he Inns served the baseball pub
lie Of that city with steadfast loyalty. and his
brilliant achievemo nts on the ball field are
known to all men. He stands head and shout
ders above any living ball player. Not only
hns his work rs a ball player been OF the first
order. but his private life has beon above re-
proach. and his integrity unquestioned. An.
son leaving Chicago would to me seem IKE
