German and Wilson are down to pitch and

There will be two games between the
Brooklyns and Philadelphias at Eastern

reason Is simple Keller did not do work
for New York equal to that performed by

year. Donovan did very poor work for
Washington, but went to Pittsburg and
there struck his gait Washington couldn't
get him for SO 900 now
