CAMPAU WILL NOT COME.
The Local Base Ball Management In
Again disappointed.

Count" Campau, the left fielder, is the
third of Manager Schmelz's collection of
ball players who has disappointed the man
agement by failing to appear. The first was
Dave Thompson, the big third baseman
from the west, who was expected to create
CONSERVATION in the ranks Of the eastern
players. He sent word that he had inherited
some money and would go into the grocery
business at Phoenix, Arizona. Then Cub
Stricken. the substitute inheider of last
years Washington team. failed to show up
and was, accordingly, dropped. Stricken is
fine fielder, but is weak at the bat. Now
Campau has determined to stay with the
New Orleans club. He has publicly an
nounced his intention of remaining with
that club. He states that II Washington
persists in claiming his services this season
he VIII give up playing and continue with
the Pelicans as manager.
There Is one consolation in the absence of
these players and that Is that Washing ton
doesn't lose much.
