The poor showing Of the Brooklyns this sea-
con has not only disappointed thousands OF
local baseball enthusiasts but has also aroused
many OF the big League magnatos. who have
all along appreciated the fact that q winner a.
washington Park means Increased reoeiptsfo
all tho clubs. Az the BROOKLYN Club has never
been n money-maker since the old days OF the
American Association when the team won tho
ohnmplonship. Il IL taken for granted that
patrons Of the club want q hrst-clhhs team. n
capable Of making q hRht with the leaders.
There IL no denying the fact that the BrooklynS
his year. under the management Of O. =.
Ebbets, have madeA moro disappointing record
than ever before. The maenatoa. when o. n.
Byrne died. believed that Ebbots would carry
the club along and possibly produce Q team
that would be faster. and therefore more profit
able than ever before. But many mistakes
have convinced some OF them that the Brook
lyn team, TO be successful. must undergo q
radical change. The team must DO placed In
charge Of q lrst-clAss manager Of long expert
ence and the players should all DO new 10 the
public. In a word. these League men with
whom TEE 6uN man hastalked do not hesitate
to say that some big deal should be made be-
tween now and next spring whereby BROOKLYN
will become one Of the leading factors In the
race for the championship.
While various stories have been a1oat this
year regarding the disposition OF the Cleve-
land Club. this Ii the firSt timo tho plan
Of several Influential League men to locate
Tebeau and his men In Brooklyn has been
published. Frank De Hasa Robson has
decided to take his lne ball team out
Of Cleveland at the end Of the present
schedule. Reports have been circulated that
he would 60 to either st. Louis or Buffalo.
with indianapolis a. q successor to Glove
land In case the Mound City should be cho-
sen. It IL probable that Robson could 60
into 81. Louis with flying colors. rs the club
there under Won der Abe 10 practically q dead
letter. and the franchise ik almosts sure to be on
the market this fall. Tebenu IL a 81. Louis boy.
and would undoubtedly become popular there
as manager and captain OF team that would
create a sensation because Of Its winning abil-
fly. Robson would receive almost unanimous
support, too. from the League II he . q
move in the direction Of Won der Ahe's town. as
the maRnates believe that there IL n fortune In
store for the owner Of . formidable team in the
Missouri metropolis.
As far as Buffalo 10 concerned. League men
do not look upon 1t with much favor. as the city
was tried once in the big circuit and fell down.
They seem to favor Indianapolis to take Cleve-
lands place. probably because It is moro
centrally located In the Western end Of the
circuit. They also think that Buffalo would be
bolsterinR up the East too much TO be Of adj
vantage to the present twelve-club organiza-
ton.
With oil these schemes to plant " the Cleve-
land team somewhere. zones o plan to put
