BASE BALL BRIEFS,

Shortstop Bill Dahlen was presented with
a fine diamond ring at his hotel in Chi
cago the other day. The little fellow was
grateful to his friends for the memento.
He told them that he would play the game
of his life at short next season and that
he had signed for next year. He was the
first player to sign and made no demand
for an increase in salary. Dahlen will
leave for California to play ball there this
winter.
Cleveland is a hard losing CITY and a
team winning less than half of its games
would have to depend entirely on games
away from home for sheer existence For
this reason the Cleveland patrons of the
game look upon the proposition to let any
of the old players go with dismay. and
assert that a team of young players, no
matter how promising, would play to
empty benches.
The Minneapolis base ball club is to have
Cushman, the former umpire, as has been
generally supposed, but Gus Schmelz, for
merly manager of the Washingtons and
other National League clubs. The man of
many whiskers will come to this city not
only as manager, but as part owner of the
franchise as well.
While Cincinnati is looking with wistful
eyes upon several players in other teams
there are numerous mortals among THE
Red Thirty-three" wanted elsewhere. Man,
ager Arson wanted Jack Mccarthy, and
offered to give Quitclaim to the services
of George A. Decker in exchange. Chi
cago Is still anxious to secure this same
Mac and would let Jimmy Ryan out in ex-
change. Even Little Eva LANCE may figure
in one of the midwinter Illinois switches.
Before Chick" Stahl was tried by Bos-
ton fire Frank Selee also wanted this same
Mccarthy, and one William Heinrich Wat
kins Is voicing desire to put him in the
Pirate outfleld.
The Scranton Base Ball Association Of
the Eastern League yesterday gave an op-
ton on its franchise until December to
Scranton Stock Company promoters. The
price Is g, 500. Messrs. Brooks and Simp-
son, the chief present owners, will be In

Manager Hanl0n Maintains That the
Cup Series WINS Fast and Honest.
Manager Hanlon Of the Baltimores, when
shown Mr.. Temples remarks about the
Temple cup series, published in a dispatch
from Pittsburg In The Star yesterday, said:
I'm the first place do not see how Mr..
Temple can get the cup unless the league
sees At to give it to him, and It seems to
me that 1t would be an act of injustice
for the league to take the cup away
from Baltimore after we won It fair
~ and squarely. There can be no
doubt about the fact that the public
has taken less interest in these cup games
every year. and It may be that the league
will abolish them ON that account but
there never has been. this year or any
previous year. any reason to abolish the
cup games on account Of any crookedness
ON the part Of any Of the players, as Mr.,
Temple seems to infer.
Such an inference Is unjust and untrue
and no one can know that fact better than
do. think 1t viii be admitted that II any
OF these games were played In any other
Way than strictly on their merits I, who
have watched base ball closely for q good
many years, would be able to detect It. I
