John Goodnow's place as base ball
magnate is assured. He has been in
terv1ewed by the Sporting News, the
paper which Al Sphinx uses to occupy
his. mind between theatrical seasons.
Mr.. Goodnow was in st. Louis, where
this paper is printed. and he sold a
promising young player named Byrnes,
OF Minneapolis, to the national Repub-
Hcan organization. Mr.. Goodnow was
unusually modest.
I am novice, you know" he said,
"and 1T seems that until have served
an apprenticeship I must hold my
peace. No consideration Is to be paid
to the fact that myself and my asso-
oiates have invested a large sum in
the Minneapolis plant, and are inter-
ested in It's success both from q play
Ing and financial standpoint. We are
business men intent on giving our city
q winning team and reaping whatever
profits that accrue. The Minneapolis
club is not a tender to the Chicago
club, nor Is it farm or pasture for
Anson's Colts. We are conducting our
affairs Independent Of other individuals
and clubs, and our record will show 1t.
We are indebted to Anson's friendship
to Wilmot for the latters services. Mr..
Arson saw that this was an excellent
opportunity for one who had given the
chicago club long years of faithful
service to better himself, and unselflsh-
~ allowed him to come to us. Catcher
Moran was with the Milwaukee club
last year, and will be with us next
season. Hutchinson did not do him
sell justice last season, and Arson
ylelded TO W1lmots opportunities and
reluctantly consented to let us have
him.
Hutchinson was a cigarette fiend
last season, and the harmful practice
mad bad effect on his work He has
given up the habit and Wilmot tells me
that he Is already free from the ner-
vouSness and other bad effects Of it.
That means that he will be himself
next year and you appreciate what
that means to us. We are very sorry
TO part with Frasier, but he's drafted
and we have no alternative 1t was
said, by the way, that we had a secret
understanding with the Chicago club
about F'rasier. The fact that he goes
TO Louisville settles that question. 1t
is idle to suppose that we will part
with Frank or Blackburn. They be-
long to us and must report in the
spring OF be disbarred from playing

and 1t Is unreasonable for these PLAYERS
10 expect us to give them up. Both
WeTden and Kuehne are under con-
tract to US. Long John Healy has not
signed yet. He did great work for
minneapolis in the opening games of
1895. and while 1t has not been def
nite1y determined, incline to the opin-
ion that Wilmot will engage him
again.
Adrian G. Arson has been In New
YORK trying to settle with Charley
Hoyt. The captain denies that the fail
ure Of "a Runaway Colt" is in any way
due to him, nor does he, in fact. think
the play Is any more Of failure than
any other Of Hoyt's plays. ''It Is a
winner" said Arson, land by a little
pruning here and there and some addt-
tons to the first and second acts. like
wise considerable cutting, would make
thls play as successful as any OF Hoyt's
now on the road. The fact Is, Hoyt
is losing money in his other companies,
and, being little fearful Of this one,
he takes it off first Now, he is making
a sucker play when he does this, for
the reason that 1t will hurt his reputa-
ton. He has never made a failure in
his life, and by taking this company
Off the road he practically acknowl-
ndges that the piece is a frost. Now, I
happen to know to the contrary. We
have made money in every city we
have played in except Duluth and one
Dther small place. But the trouble is we
have not played in the league cities
where am well known and where we
ought to play by all manner of means
eff Hoyt will give me that play will
take 1t on the road and make money
with 1T, not only the balance of the sea-
son, but for another season and posi-
bly, third. l am at a loss to under
stand Hoyts action in this matter The
blame Is all thrown on me, and the
fact is l should shoulder none of it."
When the Western league meets this
month some trouble is promised over
the prospective conflict with running
horse meetings at Columbus Indianap-
oils and Milwaukee. From this point of
view, it would be we'll to give these
cities games at home on the Sundays
during the races, although a conflict
on the week days would be unprofit-
able.
LOTUS, Of Columbus. expects to draw
upon Cleveland.
Harvey Watkins, who was private
secretary for Circusman Bailey before
he became business manager for Freed
man, the New York rnagnate, has gone
back to the tented show.
