Fielder Setback, but so far all offers made
by Manager Ewing have been turned to
the wall by Mr.. Wagner. Mr.. Ewing
started out b. offering Miller. Burke and
Hoy for the German Senator. and then
when this offer was refused added Dwyer
and Richie as an additional incentive for
Mr.. Wagner to make the trade. As five
ordinary men in base ball do not make
enc good one. Mr.. Wagner, of course, re-
fused this offer.
Another offer of trade in which the
Washington club was concerned is re-
ported to have been made by Manager
Hanlon Of the Baltimore club, who offered
to exchange Second Baseman Reitz for
De Montreville. McGraw is also said to
have been offered for the little Frenchman.
but this offer Is also said to have been
refused.
Ned Hanlon abandoned all hope of max
ing trade for Jack Doyle yesterday and
made switch to Third Baseman Nc
Graw. Hanlon offered the latter for FL
phia club would rot entertain the PROPOSE
ton. General utility man Joe Quinn was
also offered even up for Elberfeld, but
again the Quaker magnates refused.
Cincinnati Offers $500 for Mercer.
Another proposition that created con-
siderable talk was the offer of Manager
Ewing of the Cincinnati club to give Mr..
Wagner $500 in cold cash for MERGERS
release to the Cincinnati club. Mr.. Wagner
turned this proposition also to the wall.
Last sumner, after Umpire Hurst and
Magnsts Earl Wagner had patched up their
little differences, the former asked the lat
ter to keep his eye open for him in case he
heard of a job as manager for any one OF
the league clubs. Thursday night Mr.Wag-
rer spoke to the St. Louis magnate about
Mr.. Hrust, and an offer to take charge of
the st. Louis club at q good fat salary will
probably be made to Hurst today. The
combination of Hrust and Won Der Abe
looks like a bad one for base ball in the
mound city next season, but as the latter
has given it out positively that he intends
to sail for Europe in the spring and remain
abroad the greater part Of next season, the
signing of Hurst may prove great benefit.
Philadelphia Magnates Waking Up.
The big Washington-Philadelp deal
was revived again yesterday, and it was
said that Mr.. Wagner offered the Philadel-
phia magnates to make a pick of twenty
men from the two clubs and to give them
100000 for this privilege. AS Taylor and
Clements had already been released, this
report had all the ear marks of being
canard.
There seems to have been an awakening
in the Philadelphia club, and its officials
are now alive to the fact that when they
allowed the 10000 deal with Washington
to slip through their fingers the opportunity
of a lifetime was lost. 1t is reported that
they have intimated to Mr.. Wagner that a
renewal of the offer on his part would lind
them ready to do business but here again
the st. Louis deal blocks the probability OF
a renewal of the proposition.
