He has been unfortunate. this season, and
for the last two months has been out of
the game, His throwing arm went back
on him, and he had to retire, but he was
retained by the team, and he was consid-

continued on the payroll.
Butler is looking well, and hopes to have
his arm in good shape by the opening of
next season. He will again play with Co.
lumbus.
"Chippy" McGarr, who played third
base on Manning's crack team in '93, was
with Columbus the past seas son. After the
collapse of the Savannah team in 1898,
McGarr signed with Cleveland, and for
three seasons he ranked as one of the
best third-basemen In the big league. Last
season, however, he was released on ac-
count Of his poor showing, and was
signed by Columbus. McGarr had a very
bad arm this season, and Butler says
"Chippy" is much discouraged. He
thinks he is about to be relegated to the
ranks of the "haVe-beens"
