ST. LOUIS, December 1s.-Presldent
Won der Ahe, Of the ST. Louis Club,
has decided 10 strengthen his team for
next season. He will leave this morn
ing for the East, wherein there IS
surplus OF good base ball players. Mr..
Won der Abe declined 10 say for publi-
cation what his intended deals were as
newspaper publicity would seriously in-
terlere with his plans.
Not long ago." be said, II had 3
nice deal on hand for Brown, the Louis
vile center fielder. and conhded 10 a
reporter. The result Of q short con-
VersatlOn was d column in local paper.
The writer lauded Brown 70 the skies
aud berated the man | proposed TO ex-
change for him, saying his habits we're
ba0; that be aid not know how 10 play
marbles. let alone base ball, and that l
should be glad 10 consummate the deal
at any cost. He talked the Louisville
people into the same way Of thinking,
aud they asked Shugart, Cooley aud
$1,000 In exchange for Brown.
III the reporter had held his
hand l could have secured Brown on an
even exchange for ShugaTt l would
not part with Cooley, as l think he IS 3
comer, and 81, 600 will buy the release
Of as good a man as Tom Brown"
Mr.. Won der Ahe may drop in on the
Plttsburg managers and talk business
about the sale or trade OF pitcher
The Gas City management has been
talking of wanting couple OF pitchers,
aud have made frequent offers for HaW-
ley, but they have all been too light
weighted. Perhaps they have some
surplus talent that St. Louis could use.
CLASS b Is TO REMAIN.
CHICAGO, December 1S.-The failure
Of The Racing Board OF the l.. A. w. TO
suggest in its recommendations to the
national assembly for the racing season
. Of 1895 any provision for the profess
sional is an acknowledgment that the
AEAE uGs III ENlku "a al uHNA - W NAAN NeAA
trary, will not recognize professional
racing. The fact that the l.. A. W..
still refuses 10 govern this department
OF cycling, and the small chances OF any
independent organization being formed
10 promote the sport, give the impress
sion that no efforts will 0e made to pro-
mote professional cycle racing In this
country next season.
The financial failure of all recent
professional races In this country illus
trates that events Of this character are
not suitable for the public, while the
amateur events offer more interest and
excitement.
When Glass 3 was first decided upon
many misgivings were heard, but 10
cannot now be denied that the b men
have given fine sport, and their racing
has been generally free from fraud aud
jobOery.
