The evening times., 1896-06-17

Philadelphia, June lT.-lt is given out
automatically that the management OF the
Philadelphia bal club has decided to begin
al once to build up winning team. capt
Nash will start Trobabiy Sunday on tour
over the circuits Of the various mlnor
leagues and secure the best young players
that can he found bring them here at once
and gradually develop them.
The men booked for release are Pitchers
Carsey and McGiil. Second Baseman Hall
man and outiielders Turner and Sullivan.
These men may not he released outright,
but traded il deals with OTHER clubs eau be
made
The reasons alleged for getting nd OF Tie
five players mentioned are as follows: Nc
Gill because he is not living up 10 one very
important clause in his contract; Carsey,
because he lacks ambition, and the man
agement believes is fast Geteriorating In
hi spitching; Sullivan mad Hailman, for not
keeping themselves III coalition to play good
bail, and Turner, because he will not take
instructions of how To play in the outfie!ts
from either the captain or Thompson, who
has been designated to coach him.
During Capt. Nash's absence Cross is to
cover third base. Hulen short, and Della
hanty center, with sullivan in left. The
plans of the management are toretain Gra-
dy Clements and Boyle as catchers and
Taylor, Ortiz ana Lucid as pitchers. Several
young pitchers are to be secured and grad
ually broken in. Nash may give up playing
ANA devote all his attention to managing
the team, which wonli place Cross perma-
nently at third and Hulen at short. A new
second basenian and a new first baseman
are to be secured. Brouthers will probably
not be disturbed unless he takes a slump
| in his batting. but as this is To be his last
| year on the diamond new first basemdn
will have to be secured anyhow for next
season, and the intention, therefore. is to
| get one as soon as possible and gradually
break him in. The man the management
| seems to have in view is Carey.
| The latter is n great fielder in his posi-
tlon and a good runner, but last year,
while with Baltimore, did not hit quite
well enough to suit Manager Hanlon, and
| he was farmed ont. This season, however,
Carey is batting terrifically in the East
| ern League, AMI he is probably developed
sufficiently now to more than hold up his
end in all departm ents of the game in Ma
| tionai League company.
| Hallman is to he traded or released but
who his successor at second base will be
cannot be announced until Capt. Nash re-
| turns from his trip. Who the new out
| fielder will he will also not be known until
| Capt. Nash gets back. The management
| last week tried to make deal, first for
Clark and then for Dexter, both of the
Louisville team, but failed. Manager Nc
Gunnig!e would not even entertain an offer
for Clark, and the only deal he would
consider for Dexter was trade for Cross.
Nash will undoubtedly be taken Off the
team, because whenever he gives an order
10 do something whic.i he cannot hims elf
do the cry is set up by the players, Why
don't you do it yourseif?''
Grady even refused to catch the other
day, and when disciplined the youngsteT
said: Il am not the star catcher of this
team, and l am not going to do any
more work than either Clements or Boyle,
| who are both paid higher salaries than
am getting. They are the stars, so let
them enact the star roles by doing a
little of the catching themselves"
The day following this episode Nash
made an error, and Grady, smarting under
the roast he get. yelled out, Why don't
you play bail yourseli?''
