Donovan, Leach and Sweeney were given
their releases. This still leaves the man
agement plenty of pitching material to
choose from, Horner, Wilder, Todd, Nc
CafIerty and Mullen remaining.
OF the men released Leach and Donovan
are pitchers, and Sweeney an infielder.
The work OF Leach in the preliminary
games this year was disappointment to
his friends in this city. Last year he
pitched good ball for Pawtucket, but 1t
must be confessed that he made very
poor showing this season, and while there
is scarcely any doubt but that he will
pitch good ball later in the season, the
Pawtucket management did not feel as
though they could wait for him to make
a showing.
Donovan proved very speedy young
pitcher, but lacked control, and Sweeney,
while a clever man at short, was handi-
capped by ill-health.

and sacrificed the whole by staying out OF
the game the entire season. The third
case was that of Rusie, which has just
come to an agreeable ending.
There will be one more test made this
season to verify or weaken the belief that
a player who carries on an outside busi-
ness while he plays ball cannot play up to
his usual standard Robinson and Mo.

shall soon see how baseball playing and the

members Of the champion team.
Anson recently offered Dahlen 800 cash
as an inducement for the latter to give up
the smoking OF cigarettes. Uncle Adrian
told me last year that excessive use Of
cigarettes he feared, was breaking down
his great short stop, and he declared 1t
would destroy any player who was addict
ed to the habit, as 1t had already put a
dozen or more promising stars out of the
business. He Is sincere in his belief be-
cause he was compelled to quit using CT

1t might be well for aspiring young play
ers to act.

iiy when he died It Is therefore fitting
that baseball's tribute to the memory Of
the father of the game should be placed in
that city.
In Chicago they love to "josh" tho
grand old man Of the living game. The
cranks 60 to the grounds to have fun with
him and make all kind Of facetious com
ments upon his methods, his team and his
own playing. But underneath these merry
jeers lies strong foundation of admiration
and love for the man who has been cen
tral figure in baseball in that city for FL
years. In all of those 81 years there is not
to be found one dishonorable act or ques-
tionable transaction in A. G. Anson's con-
nection with the national game. His ad.
vent into Chicago was the personiflcation
of honor. 1t was at time when ball play
ers had little regard for their contracts
Anson was a member OF the Athletics OF
Philadelphia when he was persuaded to
transfer his services to the Chicago club.
and he signed q memorandum to that end.
only to regret 1t Immediately. His sweet
heart, the lady who is still his sweetheart.
though she has been his wife for score of
years, lived in Philadelphia and she urged
him not to 60 to Chicago and leave her.
Swayed by her pleading, Anson hurried
away to the Illinois metropolis a week be-
fore reporting time and plead with the
president OF the club, William A. Hubert.
for release. Hubert would not grant II.
Finally Anson offered 81 900 Gosh to b
absolved from his bond, and that was re-
fused. There was no punishment then foB

honest practice was very freely indulged.

Deserved Honors Bestowed
Upon Anson and Wright.
A PROSPEROUS SEASON PROMISED.


Rusie Case-Corcoran Takes Advantage
OF Circumstances-How Players Are Ar
6eeted by Business and Bad Habits.
The opening games of the National
league championship showed unusual en-.
thusiasm all along the circuit, which must
bo forerunncr OF certainly prosperous
season. In the seven games, including
that Mt Boston on Patriots day, $4,000
spectators witnessed the sport. Truly base
ball is our national sport.
AS usual some of these opening games
were surprises in their results The Phil
adelphias' leap off in front is probably the
most surprising of ALL The Bostons' weak
showing and tho Clovelands unexpected
defeat at Louisville attracted the most at
tention from the rooters.
Opening week was made additionally
noteworthy by the sudden and satisfactory
ending of the celebrated Rusie case A
fund was raised by eight of the League
clubs which paid all attorneys fees and
costs in Rusics suits whereupon at the
pitchers own request these suits were dis
continued and he gracefully returned to
tho discipline Of his club and ut the lat
ter's long standing terms. Rusie Is ex
tremely pleased to be once more In the
ranks and promises to make up for his bad
ly advised actions Of the last year.
