Providence Base Ball Club Sold.
A special from Boston says that the Prov
idence Club Of the Eastern League has
passed into the hands of Commodore Bani-
gan, the son of the late millionaire rubber
merchant. Last season when the new
American Association was preached, an eff
fort was made to interest Banigan in the
movement, but it was not successful. There
is now no doubt that Mr.. Banigan wants to
see Providence enrolled into something big
ger than the Eastern League. His effort
will be to see the Eastern League circuit
strengthened. AS the club. stands today 1t
is too expensive for fits present company.
1t won the pennant last season, but did
not make dollar.
The American League would find a fine
foothold in Providence if it was desired
Doubtless Frank Richter could visit the
city with better success than a year ago.
especially as the National League has found
that the Wanted national agreement Is a
thing of the past, as far territorial rights
are concerned President Soden says that
he has no alarm at all about the inroad Of
the American League in the east.

He says the story about his connection
with a scheme to turn out Nick Young is
utterly without foundation.

a result one after another player who had
safely reached first got caught on the trip
to the second or the third bag. Ambition is
a good thing. but the catcher loves a shining

some of the captains to study the abilities

Ever since Jake Beckley was let go by
the Pittsburgs in the middle of 1896 the Pr
except Bill Clark. Jake was a great favor
lite with the Pittsburg crowds, and many
games he won for the locals by his good
batting. For some reason he was traded to
New York for Harry Davis, who proved
very weak with the stick, and did not re-
main on the bag the rest Of the season.
Then Abe Lezotte made an attempt at NIL
ing the place, and was found wanting.
Harry Davis in 1897 essayed to fill the bill
again. but was sidetracked for Denny Lyons
and John Rothfuss. who also proved to be
weak. John Camel. who did so well for
Chicago this year, went on first for Pitts
burg in 1898. but was below the standard,
and once more Harry Davis went on the
bag. After Davis third failure Tom O Brien
took chance, and soon was replaced by
Catcher Fred Lake. Lake could not fill
the bill, and Bill Clark was given the posi-
ton. Clark did all right. better than any
one since Beckley's day. but was let go in
the middle Of 1899. Bowerman and George
Fox were tried after Clark was released,
but they made way for Frank Dillon, Sc
cured from Buffalo, who did well during the
latter part Of 1899. Dillon released
early this season to make room for Cooley,
and owing to the latter's weak batting he
was released and O'Brien put on the bag
