Will join the Chicago team Monday at

Haskell is not likely 10 have another Oft
day Ills work, as general thing is above
criticism, and the crowd couldn't under
stand it yesterday.

hut on the arm by pitched ball and col
iided with MCCARTHY while getting a n.y.

pany's club wants to play any ball team
in the State.
1t is reported that Buffalo wants to break
into the Western League; If that is so the
league will be in luck, for Buffalo is just
the sort of a city needed to strengthen it's
circuit. Columbus and Grand Rapids are
poor-paying places. The formers team is
second and has been close to the front all
season, yet the patronage has been scanty,
and LOTUS will lose money.
Grand Rapids, now under the guidance of
Count Campau, will be here tomorrow
for four games, two each day. Phillips and
GOar will do the pitching tomorrow. On
Wednesday and Thursday the Columbus
team will play four games here, and then
the Bobs come back for three more, which
will wind up the season on the Indianapolis
grounds. The season closes a week from
Tuesday, with the leaders at Detroit.
Unless the Brooklyn club SECURES new
grounds next season it is limited that the
City of Churches will not be represented in
the big league. The Eastern Park is too
far away. The club has not done well this
season. If the Brooklyn people can get
park more convenient than the present one,
they will make money right along. In case
Brooklyn should sell out, both Providence
and Buffalo are spoken of as it's successor.
Both these cities can play Sunday ball.
Two changes in the Western League cir
cult seem probable, and at the annual meet
ing in November it is likely that Columbus
and Grand Rapids will be succeeded by TO-
ledo and Omaha, though it is possible that
the magnateS will remember that the down
fall of the league in 1882 was caused by the
breaking up of the Omaha club on July A.
which may result in the retention of Grand
Rapids. The circuit could certainly be
strengthened by transferring the Columbus

strong front for the Ohio city in $685. In
spite Of the fact that Magnate Lotus gath
cred a strong team together for Columbus
last spring, and has been in the race from
start to finish, the patronage there has been
exceedingly light and as a result LOTUS
has been barely able TO meet expenses. With
a winning team in Grand Rapids, however
a radically different story would be told
next fall and the club would undoubtedly
clear several thousand dollars.-Milwaukee
