Rase Ball Notes.

Henry Chadwick of New York, the
father of base ball." is visiting relatives in
Washington and shaking hands with old
friends. He is hale and hearty and re-
tains his comprehensive grasp upon all
points relating to the national game.
Frank Bancroft, business manager of the
Cincinnati base ball club, is in Washing ton
ahead of the "Ramblers'' company, which
appears at the Lyceum next week. Frank
is a great believer in this city as a base
ball winner.
Base ball politics should begin boiling
next week. With the post-season series Of
games concluded, the prominent players Of
the two big teams will have time to talk
and do business with the projectors of the
new association.
Players representing the Brooklyn and
New York clubs contemplate a trip to
Cuba for a series of games, but yellow
fever reports from the island should deter
the boys from taking a chance for q cou-
pie hundred dollars. They don't need the
money and the development of the scourge
will assuredly offset any pleasure connected
with the trip.

is after some fast players to lead the
Orphans on the field. and Doyle. Gleason.
