IL seems probable now that there

by the Richmond and Norfolk Clubs
of the League. to place teams in the
Atlantic Association, which will be the
successor next year of this years At

there would not be very much left O
the Virginia League
Aenager Long was quoted I'm Balti
more on Saturday in the admission o
Norfolk and Richmond to the League
He said: I'VE did not look very favor
ably TO having two clubs so far away
where our travelling expenses would b
heavy, and favored more compac
league but the two cities had good
flnacial backing and they have doubled
our guarantees, so that we cannot lose
anything If they do not draw the los
will fall on them, not us. BY having
an eight-clnb league also, we can play
more Sunday games, and that will help
us financially"
The management of the Wilkesbarre
Baseball Club has received offers from
three National League clubs for the

it is likely that one of the offers will

NOPS SOLD TO BALTIMORE.
MANAGER TIANLoN, or THE ORR
OLEs, GAVE $4,000 FOR HIM.

Jerry Nops, the left-handed twirler
who proved himself the star of the At
lantic League, was sold on Saturday to
Baltimore for $4,000 within five minutes
after he had won the game for Il,
which gives It the pennant.
He will begin work with the cham
pions at once. lie will also pitch in
the Temple Cup series.
Philadelphia wanted Nops and of
fered Manager Long n good price for
him, but Nops refused to sign with
Philadelphia because he was offered
such a small salary. He is much
pleased to go TO Baltimore. A funny
thing about 1t was that Philadelphnns
thought their club would get Jerry,
and yesterday at least one Philadel-
phia paper had a big story about him
and said how fortunate It was to get
such a pitcher.
Nops is only p years OF age, and he
has been pitching only two years. He
is from Norwalk, Ohio. He pitched a
short while in 1894, but began regular
work i'm the box In 1895, when Manager
Long secured him for his Toledo Club,
OF the Western League. Although he
was but 20 years old, it was his first
year ana he was IN fast company. NOps
held his own. He stood thirteenth
among twenty-eight pitchers and had
batting average OF .201
Jerry on Saturday was given the
most enthusiastic reception ever ten
dered a player in Baltimore, and the
whole town is delighted with his work

Boston has arranged a series of fv

At Newark-virgil Garvin. the
Texas sheriff whom Mr.. Long loaned
10 Newark won two games and the
pennant for that club yesterday by the
most remarkable pitching ever seen.
His work in the box against the Ath-
letics was almost marvellous. In the
first game only six scattered hits were
made by the visitors and errors by Gill
man and Heine alone saved them from
a shut-out.
In the second not a single safe hit
was made off him, and In the seven in
nings played before darkness came
only twenty-one men faced him. But
one man got to sirst on balls and he
was thrown out trying to steal second.
The fielding of the home team in this
game was as good as the pitching but
in the first both sides were ragged.
When President Crane announced the
victory, the enthusiasm was intense on
the part OF the biggest crowd OF the
season. Scores;

Olner GameS.
Yesterdays game at Adelaide Park was
a slugging match in which Coakley and
Belts, the Wilkesbarre pitchers, were
slugged ana the Providence players the
sluggers. 1t was the easiest of the 10
straight victories and was great
.graft" for fattening the home clubs
batting averages.
Providence started on her batting
streak in the first inning, and Kept up a
continual bombardment throughout the
game, finishing 10 runs ahead of her OPP
ponents. OF course, II is hardly TO be ex-
pected that such a lop-sided contest
could elicit any excitement or interest,
etill there was considerable amusement
derived from e.easy way in which hits
were made and tho futile attempts of the
visiting fielders To hold the score down.
Coakley was in the points for the Coal
Bsronss.d uring the first six innings, but
after that he was replaced by Belts, the
center fielder. Belts has gained reputa-
tion as a twirler, but in yesterdays farce
he was on par with bis predecessor and
found TO be quite as easy.
Lewis pitched for the Grays and was
touched up quite freely at times, espec-
ialiy in the last inning, when Wilkes barre
scored four runs.
dence victory II also served as means OF
