SPORTING NEWS AND NOTES.
Great Shake-Up Expected in the
Brooklyn Baseball Team.
Billy Ernst and stanton Abbott
Matched for September.

Serious dssensions have arisen In the
Rrooklyn Baseball club. and a forecast
OF the future Indicates that a number Of
| important changes are about to be made.
Already a detection of considerable mo-
ment has resulted In the publicly ex
pressed determination of Danny Rich
arison, the popular second baseman. TO
withdraw from the club. unless Pres-
dent Byrnc rctracts statements which
Richardson declares he made as to his
G)anny'D drinking habits. Richardson
vows he has not been overindulgent IN
the use OF liquors. but lie has actually
been i'll. and exhibits u physcian's GER
'ifcate TO that effect. Richardson was
ordered to report at Philadelphia last
Monday. and he did not do so. His de-
termination to leave the Brooklyns APP
pears to have been brought about on
account OF the report that he had been
drinking having reached his home in
Elmira. where all his commercial and
social interests are centred.
The clever second baseman feels that
his reputation has been tarnlshed. and
lie wants "sQuarer'' before he'll put
foot on the second base again for
President Byrnc. Some talk Is heard of
the New York's signing Richardson, but
as John Ward IS doing Trojan work
at that position. 1t Is difficult to see the
necessity OF change. Capt. Dave
Foutz. OF the Brooklyns. doesn't think
Danny has acted Justly towards the
team, and adds that he VIII not be
permitted to play on any other team,
even should he persist in leaving the
Brooklyns. President Byrne demon
strated yesterday that he meant to
whoop things in his club. lie secured
the release OF BILLY Keeler, third base
r man of the New Yorks. and that player
held down that bag in yesterdays $
game agal..st Philadelphia. Mr.. Byrne
) is out OF town. and his Views anent
Richardson's action are not obtainable
, He Is believed to be on the hunt for
= other and younger players. feeling that
youth and activity are essential quail
ties for the winning OF games.

Athletic Club team, and a cousin OF
Jack Sharrott, of the Philadelphia Club
