The league is expected to take a

Though they can do it without being
member of the league. they like to

fine body of athletes, each man giving
every Indication that he possesses Drawn

PITTsBURG DEAL OFF.
Carney" Dreyfus VIII Not Get That
Club.

PIFTSBURG, Pa, Nov 9.-President
W. w. Kerr, Of the Pittsburg base ball
club, came out 1at-footed today and made
the statement that he would not sell the
controlling interest in the club. For sew
eral days reports have been sent out from
New York that a secret meeting of Ma.
tional league magnates had been held In
that city, and that the league would be
cut down to eight clubs. with Barney"
Dreyfus in control of the Pittsburg club.
President Kerr favors a reduction of the
league circuit, but If Louisville drops out
1t will not mean that Dreyfus will con-
troll base ball In Pittshurg. The nego-
tiatlons between Messrs. Kerr and Drey-
fus, for the sale of the club, came to a
close last Sunday, the deal being declared
off permanently At that time Mr.. Kerr
would have disposed of his interests, but
the Louisville magnate wanted him to
assume liabilities against the Pittsburg
club IN the future. AS the Pittsburg
club does not owe a dollar, Mr.. Kerr
promptly refused to be liable for the
clubs debts after he had disposed Of his
property. This was not satisfactory to
the Louisville man, and the deal was
declared off and Mr. Kerr then and there
decided to remain In control of the club

RUSIE TO RETURN.
VIII Be One of the Pitchers for New
Gotham Fall Club.

Will ne One OF the F1IcheFS Tor New
Gotham Fall Club.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Devotees of
base ball will be glad to know that Amos
Rusie, for years the star twtrler of the
New York League club, and John M.
Ward, the noted ex-manager and cap
tain of the Giants when they were In
the heyday of their prosperity, will again
appear in the new league team in this
city next year. 1t was also stated that
Al Johnson, Eddie Talcott and Tom
Johnson, with Tom O'Rourke as man
ager for Senator Tim Sullivan, will be
the principal stockholders in the new
venture.
John Ward Will be the choice Of the
JChnsons as manager Of the club, while
Tom O'Rourke will pose as the nominaf
owner. RLsie, who is reported as none
the worse for his years vacation, will
again display his cunning with the sphere
in the pitchers box during the season.
and will doubtless again twirl his way
into his old place in the affections of the
fans"
The new team will be the best that
New York has had in years if the plans
of the management can be carried out,
and both O'Rourke and Sullivan are en-
thUSi6Stic over the prospects Of again
having a team that will be giants" In
reality, instead of the aggregation Of
crippleS and haS-beenS who have been
wearing the uniform of the metropolitan
club
Rusie's return as the star twirler of
New York team will, without doubt, be
an excellent drawing card for the new
club, as long after the date Of his dis
agreement with Freedman, Amos was
denied the right to play ball elsewhere
owing to the National leagues reserve
rule, which has been a distastefuI morseI
among all players. Rusie began suit
against the league a little more than a
year ago to compel them to permit him
to play ball anywhere he pleased, and
when 1t was seen that Rusie would prob
ably win, a compromise was agreed upon
rather than have the reserve clause a.
dead letter.
The grounds of the new club will prob
ably be on the Southern boulevard, near
the Harlem river, where a two weeks
option has been secured. The new league
will doubtless be success, according to
the statements of those in control of the
American Base Ball association, and al
