CURRENT SPORTING NEWS

The report from Brooklyn Saturday night
that McGraw. Robinson and Keister had
been sold to the st. Louis club for some
thing like $4,000 has created a sensa-
ton in the base ball world. The
st. Louis club had already purchased First
Baseman Mccain and Outfielder Donovan,
and the addition of the Baltimore trio
pushes the Tebea uites to the front as
strong possibility for the pennant flag
next season. On top of the Brooklyn re-
port comes another from Baltimore, dated
last night, to the effect that McGraw and
Robinson declare most positively that they
will not go to st. Louis, but are willing to
be sold to an eastern club. The business
of the two Baltimore players is worth con-
siderable. and they want to take care of it.
That is their side of the story. but Man
ager Hanlon has another that may make
them change their minds. 1t is to the effect
that the players will go to st. Louis or
remain idle during the season.
McGraw signed a contract to manage the
Baltimore club for the coming season at
salary of 5000, and Robinson was to re-
ceiye $3.50 to act captain, Whether the
couple are able to stand the loss of nearly
$4,000 in six months time is question
that can be answered by them alone.
But the ''nigger in the woodpile" is the
desire to get some of the purchase price of
$4,000. The Baltimore players know that
Hanlon will not receive this money unless
they report in st. Louis. If Hanlon is will
ing to divide. say, 5000. among McGraw
and Robinson. 5000 to the former and
1000 to the latter, they will probably come
to the conclusion that the muddy water of
the mound city is healthy, after all. Messrs.
Hanlon. Ebbets and Abel are not backward
in intimating that this nice little plum is
what the two Baltimore players are after.
Magnate Robson of ST. Louis and the
oklyn-Baltimore people were still in SEES

than probable that some sort of an under
standing will be reached before many days
pass by.
With Robinson behind the bat, McGann
on first. Childs on second. Wallace at short
and McGraw on third, with an outfield
made up of Burkett, Heidrick and Dono-
van, the St. Louis club looks about as
good as the best, and will be picked by
