leagues which began in this city, closed
tonight at the Fifth Avenue hotel at Z
o'clock. Notwithstanding the rumors
which have bsen floating as to the wing
clipping and knitting on the part o. some
of the maanatss, the session passed over
very iietly. Oifers to trade ard pur-
chase players were very numerous. but
only two deals went through. These were
Captain Nash of Boston. who will play
third base, AMI Captain Charles +. Ham
illton OF the Quakers, who will take his
chances with Boston, AMI ex-Ca plain
Doyle of the New Yorks who will
strengthen the Orioles IN exchange for
kid" Gleason. President Brush Of Gin
cinnati was very ang-y when the Doyle
Gleason deal went through, as he claimed
that he had an option on the Giants all
round player. President Freedm
however, said the Cincinnati man hal no
right to kick and the deal was perfectly
legitimate. Messrs. Kerr and Mack of
Pittsburg bid high cash price for Doyle.
but the New Workers SAID they did not
want money. and considered they had
made good exchange when they got
Gleason in return for the ex-captsin.
President Brush and Buck Ewing were
also anxi us to capture Doyle for Porkop-
oils. bur Freedman gave them the same
answer as far as monay was concerned.
