Rochester officials state that the false
report about their club is making it diff
ficult to secure desirable players. The
Rochester clubs financial standing is as

like $40, 900 on the season.-Sporting Life.
Engler, one Of the big three" owners of
the Rochester club was in Scranton Sat-
urday and went from here to Carbondale,
where he saw the game with Pottsv.llc

posed Of Milligan, Mulvey and Sweeney,
of the old Allentowns, and the best Of the
Pottsville club. Pitcher Mayer, OF Allen
town, will come to Scranton this week.
but 1t Is not probable that he will be
signed. The management of the Potts
VILE base ball team know nothing about
It's transfer to Allentown. They have,
however, received intimations that such a
move is on foot and 1t 10 likely that the
transfer will be made during the present
week. Interest in base ball in Pottsvflle Is
virtually dead, at least for the present
season.
