HoW's THIS, TED P
Sullivan Transfers His Baseball
Team to New Haven.


If San Antonio wants to be a
member of the Texas Baseball
league this year it is high time
that something is done in the mat
ter. 1t is a settled fact that Ted
Sullivan is not coming here, as he
will manage the New Haven team
of the Connecticut league, accord
ing to this:
Ted Sullivan attended the At
lantic League meeting and secured
the franchise for New Haven,
Conn.
"My new New Haven team,"
said Ted, "will be made up chiefly
Of the players who won the
championship in the Texas League
last season-my old Dallas team
OF Texas steers as they were called.
There's only one Ferman on the
team. Read my list of players
O'Connor, Boyle, O'Hagan, Dris-
coll, Killacky. Reads like the
register of a Donegal ship, eh?
ain my team are three Washing
ton boys-O'Hagan, Hodge, and
Sherer. Hodge will make a name
for himself in the Atlantic League.
He is clever backstop and good
hitter. O'Hagan covers third base
in brilliant style, and Scherer l
regard as most promising young
player. Keefe, one of my twirlers,
pitched for Washington a few
years ago. Mackey, enc Of my
pitchers, has a dash of Indian blood
in him. He is the first Indian
who ever played professional ball."
Washington Post.
Prior to Sullivan's departure for
the east it was generally under
stood here that he held the San
Antonio franchise and would put a
team here in '96. Referring to Sui
livan's actions, John Heydler,
Washington correspondent of the
Sporting Life, says:
"Foxy Ted, by the way, will
have another franchise to give
away in Texas this year. New
Haven is bigger game than San
Antonio, and Sullivan must have
played his cards pretty well to Sc
cure a franchise in a town that
was not very anxious at first to
have any of the hustler's help. 1t
remains now for Ted to explain
things to the San Antonio people,
who have been looking for him to
give them a winning team next
summer. Only the other day l re-
ceived a letter from Sporting Editor
Mosebach, of San Antonio, who
says that interest in base ball is
red hot in Texas, and If Sullivan
gives us team that will hold it's
own he can have the town. There
will be a few disappointed fans
down that way when they learn
of Ted's Atlantic association ven
ture.n
The only thing left for San An
tonic to do now is to take prompt
action to have a team in the
league, or it will be the same as
last year-we'll not be in it.

"A SLICKsss ENGLISHMAN.
WORKED HIS RACKET IN MEXICO
Says His Name Is Percy Taylor
Some of His Friends Mourn
for HIM In San AaJonio.
From the Monterey Mercury ]

"AN UNGRATFUL SCOUNDREL."
NEARLY three months ago an
Englishman, giving the name Of
Percy Taylor, appeared in this city
and sought work among the Eng.
disappearing business people.
AS he claimed to have been at one
time a journalist the Mercury ar
etmpted to aid him by furnishing
him with temporary employment,
but having been warned that the
mans past record would not bear
close investigation he was advised
to find other employment, al
though he proved himself to be
valuable assistant even in the
two or three days in which he was
making copy for the compositors.
Being an expert stenographer and
q ski1lful typewritist he speedily
found other employ ment. Sam
Park, the general agent for the
Consolidated EXpors Lumber Co.
who gave him employment and
became responsible at the tailor
ing establishment Tor new outfit
for Taylor, now regrets having
pinned his faith ON the scamp.
After beating his landlady, who
gave him board on his promise to
pay on Saturday, and getting
drunk and borrowing money to
pay his fine from an acquaintance
who did not wish tosee himworking
on the streets for the government
and, by the way, the said ac-
quaintance is still waiting for
Taylor to return that small loan
he began to operate on a different
plan, and, it is said, induced the
next boarding house keeper to
accept in payment check for $40
Of Sam Parks, to which the latter
gentlemen has never been able Co
remember affixing his signature.
Not being prosecuted in this in
stance, he was emboldened to cash
check at n saloon in this city
for $25, again forging Mr.. Parks
name to the same. Since the dis
covery OF the last criminal act,
Taylor has remained out of sight,
although il is understood that he
has not yet been able to leave the
city. tits ascertained from relia.
BILE source that the man came from
Austin, Texas. where he arrived
under circumstances very similar
to those attending his arrival in
this city, and that his departure
from that place was hurriedly
made at a time when the police
authorities were trying to inter-
view him to obtain an explanation
Of his action in matters similar to
those which have caused other
men to give their time and talents
to the service OF the state without
other compensation than board
and striped suit Of clothing. 1t
is to be hoped that Taylor will be
apprehended. He is too valuable
man to leave lying around loose.
He should be locked up for safe
keeping. The next man who
strikes this city under similar
circumstances may be honest and
needy, but because OF this mis-
creant's trickery, he will probably
meet with cool reception"
