Not Sell His Stnr Pitcher.

Louisville March "A place has at
last been definitely settled upon for the
spring practice OF the Louisville club
and it will be at Montgomery, Ala. Man
ager McCloskey visited L number of places

inducements in the way of accommodations
that Montgomery did. and ii was decided
that the team should prepare for the cham

Louisville club had been SO unfortunate in
signing star players, which had precipi-
tated discord In the ranks, that it had de-
ctded TO depend upon the youngsters en-
tirely.
Manager McCloskey has decided to re-
Iuse all OF the several offers which have
been made for the release of Pitcher Nc
Dermott. When McDermott signed con-
tract for the season he asked that a special
clause be inserted stipulat!ng that for each
and every case of drunkenness he was to be
fined 500. IL was suggested to the pitcher
that smaller sum might have the same ef-
feet, but he insisted that fine of 500 be
imposed for each offense. The position of
shortstop will be filled by Eustace or Shan
non, while Manager Mccloskey favors

NOSpRISG MEETING ATBRIGHTON
Failing to Have the Grand Stand Re

FaiIinp to Have the Grand Stand Re
built, Racing Is Postponed.
New York. March 2.-No settlement has
yet been made of the losses by fire on the
grand stand of the Brighton Beach course,
and all intention of holding an early meet
ing in A pril has necessarily been abandoned.
The amount of the policies was $4,000 it
is said md the loss is incXccss of the amount
insured for.
A final settlement is to be made by COM
mittec of adiustcrs. The insurance people
appoint a man, the racing men select an
other, and the two choose a third as final
umpire. Should the grand stand be ready,
it is expected that the absence of the Sara
toga Association as a rival will greatly
help the Brighton meeting. No changes will
be made on the track, the mile circuit being
remade on last seasons propositions.
April ! to being open, the Aqueduct
Racing Association has about decided to
hold an early meeting. Practically a new
grand stand will have to be constructed,
ard there is none too much time to get
things in readiness. At the best the season
is rather carly for racing with restricted
betting. and some of the stockholders prefer
to wait and try their chances on later dates.
No application for club.
