WHAT IS GOING ON IN
BASEBALL CIRCLES
Hanlon Wants to Dispose Of
Mike Griffin.
Where the League Teams viii Do
Preliminary Work.
President Freedmnn and the New
York Ciub-Brooliyn's
Pitching STAFF.

! Bishop Mike Griffin is on the market,
announces Ed Hanlon. Griffin was made
captain of the Brooklyns before the big deal
went through and it was thought by many
that no change would be made so far as
| Griffin was concerned. Hanlon wishes to
sell Griffin, however. because the latter was
signed as captain and manager at a salary
of $500 by President Ebbetts. Under the
new arrangement Hanlon, of course, is
| manager but Griffin refuses to submit to a
reduction in salary in view of being
| lieved of responsibility and extra work.
| When the announcement was made that
Kelly had refused to sign with the Brook
| iyns, although he was offered more money
| than he received at Baltimore, it was
| thought that there was something besides
| the money question behind Kelly's refusal
| to afiix his signature to a contract 1t is
| be made captain of the 'Oriogrooms." and
| that his claim will be supported by other
former 0riole players. Griffin is one of the
best fielders in the country, and he is a
frst-class batsman and base runner as
well. Bishop Mike is popular in Brook
lyn, and his friends say that Hanlon will
make mistake If he allows Griffin to go.
The refusal of President Freedman to
purchase Griffin from Hanlon is excellent
evidence that the New York magnate will
do nothing to strengthen the Giants. Sir
Andys s conduct is almost ineXplicable.
There is no evidence to show that he has
any interest whatever in the future of his
club. II Freedman is tired OF the game.

The dog the manger" act is not at all

Freedman let go the reins. He has made

his fellow magnates are disguested with
his capers.

League teams will be in the following

use in New York and elsewhere has prov.

Rochester was the first city to use
them in 1896, but these were a failure.
