BASEBALL NOTES.

Kittridge is wild to be transferred tC
| the East.
Charley Abbey, the utility outfielder, is
enga ged On the Washington Post.
| Freedman has again offered $4,000
| Tor Lange. Uncie Anson says Nit"
| Terry started in after the League team
| closed to play first base for Il southern
Illinois team. In the first game he broke a
| finger.
Cleveland has tried five times with
practically the same team to win the PEN
| nant. and still Tebeau says he has never
had a show.
Big Bill Lange has decided not to go
on the stage. He was afraid of being
successful, and it might queer him with
the Old Man.
"Clingman," remarked McGunnigle, sis
a man easily discouraged. He is a faithful
worker, and l wish you would say for me
that he will certainly guard third base next
year"
Pasco is game. He will not prosecute Te-
beau and O'Connor, but it is dollars to free
silver that before many days have passed
he will lay out the two gentlemen cold.
Cleveland Recorder.
Robson of Cleveland says that he W ould
not trade Mexican for Jennings even up,
but that a deal for Kelley and McGraw,
giving McAleer and McGarr in exchange,
would receive favorable notice
Baseball players will not play football.
1--WE have all we want without rushing
bodily into danger said Jack" O'Connor.
Football is all right, but it isn't any sort
of a game for a delicate ball player"
All the newspaper boys in Cleveland are
giving Patsy Tebeau the cold shoulder
since he assaulted one of their number
last week. Wonder whether they will stick
up for him next season as they did this?
The Philadelphia club will do consider
able experimenting with youngsters next
spring, just as New York did this year.
1t does not pay to make such Il wholesale
grab for the minor leaguers, as the New
York case shows
Joe, Quinn was busy looking after his
undertaking business when seen by a st.
Louis newspaper man last week, but took
time TO say that the Baltimore club is
the greatest aggregation of ball players
have ever Travelled with"
Joe Kelley missed connections and did
not go to England, as previously stated.
Jennings, McGraw, Pond, and Keeler have
gone, however. Kelley was to have gone
with Lange, but big Bill decided not to
risk the voyage; so Joe had no companion
and was sort of scary about going it alone.
He is still considering the idea and may
sail from New York on an American liner
on Wednesday. This will put bin in Lon
don in time to meet the other four.
Somehow or other the impression has
got abroad that the veDturesome Orioles
bound for England have signed articles as
cattiemen aud are really working their
passage across. Such is not the case
The men signed because in no other way
could they secure passage on the boats
sailing from here. But they are guests of
honor, and are treated as finely as If
they had gone on the American liner
Paris Baltimore Herald. There is no rea-
SOD given why the men wanted to travel
as guests of honor.
A proposition which has met with favor
in certain localities is to have President
Young appoint the official scorers, instead
of the local managers or magnates, as at
present. AS Young would have to take
