National League Standing.
GOOD MOVE, SAYS WATKINS.
Likes the Idea of Buffalo Taking
Grand Rapids's Place.

Rumors of an important change in the
Western Baseball League at the end of the
present season gave the baseball cranks
morsel for gossip. The rumors were started
by dispatches from Buffalo and Milwaukee
inquiring as to what was known here con-
corning the probable retirement from the
league Of the Grand Rapids club and Buff
falo's succession to it's place in the league
1t has been the general understanding
among those who pay any attention to
baseball that Grand Rapids has been a
losing city to the clubs that play there
On the return of Manager Watkins from
Louisville last night he was shown the tele-
grams of inquiry from Buffalo and Milwau-
kee. He said he had not heard before
that a change in the Western League
was contemplated, but he would be glad
to welcome Buffalo. Although Buffalo is
a little out of our circuit he continued,
"it is an excellent baseball town, and we
could well afford to go out of our way to
play there. This is the first intimation l
have had that Buffalo desired to join the
Western League That city has been fairly
successful in the Eastern League. Every
body that understands the baseball situa-
ton Will readily see why Buffalo would be
more valuable to us than Grand Rapids. 1t
because there is not sufficient population to
patronize the game. The people who are
there turn out well enough, but there are
not enough of them. Buffalo has always
been considered a great baseball town. 1t
has the population, and l think we could
we'll afford to take it in the league and give
UP Grand Rapids. 1 believe the change
would be a success all around
Manager Watkins is very much dlssatls-
fed with yesterdays game at Louisville.
He says the umpire, whose name is Wolfe,
was a wolf by nature as we'll as name. He
is confident that with another umpire In
dianapolis would have Jared much better.
Manager Watkins is very proud of Beville,
his new catcher, who worked behind the
bat with the Indianapolis team for the first
time yesterday. Watkins says Kellum
pitched a satisfactory game
