New York Newspapers on the Joyce
Farrell Deal.
TheNew York Sun, spea king OF the Joyce
Farrell Flynn deal. says:
Manager Irwin, OF the New Yorks, appears
TO have Il happy faculty for making sue

securing Jake Beckley for Harry Davis and
yesterday whereby the New Yorks will get
"Scrappy Bilr' Joyce, Wasbington's fine
third ia seman, in exchange for Catcher Far
reil, Pitcher Flynn, who Is under suspen-
sion, and S2 800 i'll cash. Two days ago
the Sun stated exclusively that the New
York club was after both Joyce and Sci
bach. but the latter player was declared
out OF any negotiation by Manager Sciiinelz
Joyce. '.scrappy,' during the early part
OF the season, was manager and captain
Of the Washing tons, and the team unper him
played Il remarkably fast game. Then,
when everything was going along smoothly,
Wagner, the owner Of the Washington club,
Installed Gus schInelz us manager, and
trouble began; Joyce rebelied, and lhe
leased, but for u time Wagner couldn't
see II. Then eaine an open breach between
Joyce and schmelz, so In the interest of har-
mony som ethipS had to be done, With Far
rell and Flynn held out on Il platter, Wag-
ner and Scnfnelz still held of. But when
Irwin offered $4,000 TO bopt, they closed
matters so quickly that Joyce win pay with
LbC ANCW EustcIu ".
Joyce was brought out by John Ward in
1890, when he played third base for the
Brooklyn Brotherhood team. Since then
he has developed into one of the League's
Dest Dali players. He is aggressive, q
corking hitter, and one OF the Ieading run
getters. With Beckley on the opposite cor
ner OF the infield, the team should not be
without plenty OF life.
