Eastern League than they are in the Ma
tonal. Their decisions are respected. Peo-
pie in the large cities have become dis
gusted with the constant fault-fnding of
some base ball writers, managers and play
ers. 1t is the great drawback TO the sport.
Capt. Robinson of the BaltimoreS has an
nounced to Manager Hanlon that McMahon
showed excellent speed and curves in prac-
tice on Saturday, and has given it as his
opinion that the great pitcher is in shape
to resume his work in the box. If the good
form McMahon is said to have shown
on Saturday continues lie may either go
against New YORK or face Washington in
Baltimore next Saturday.

Manager Barnie of Scranton has been
informed by President Young that Scranton
need not fear snap judgment in the Meany
case. From the papers before him, Mr..
Young says Meany apparently belongs TO
Scranton. The Bangor. Me, papers have
printed stories to the effect that Meany is

portation from Bangor, as well as advance
money, and then signed with Scranton, re-
turning the advance money, but not the
transportation. As matter of fact Ban
gor made itself liable to expulsion by tam
pering with Meany and sending him ad-
vance money and a ticket while Meany
was still legally bound to Harrisburg.
