Base Ball Notes.
The players believe that new clubs in
Boston, Greater New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore or Washington in the east
and st. Louis. Cincinnati, Chicago and
Pittsburg in the west, with the best play
ing talent available, would be successful.
So, feeling that they have the balance Of
power in their own hands, the players after
yesterdays meeting were quite confident
that the National League magnates would
appreciate the situation and come to terms.

President Killiea of the Milwaukees said
that he did not expect to lose player either
by draft or sale this fall, and denied that
negotiations were pending with the Chicago
club for the transfer of FultZ. He said the
present season has been fairly lucrative so
far as the Milwaukee club was concerned,
tue earnings those or 1898,
which was the banner year in base ball for
the Brewers, whose net earnings that sea-
son approXimated $4,000.
The Phillies are the most freakish aggre-
cation and one can never depend upon
them. For five years they have been una
bic to do anything with the pitching of
Callahan until last week, when they fairly
slaughtered him. Nichols Of Boston could
always be depended upon for the past dozen
years to NOW down the Phillies whenever
he faced them until this year, when they
have hit him very hard in nearly every
game. Breitenstein furnishes a similar IL
lustration. He was once their bette noir:
now they are his Jonahs.

says that he will go from there to Phila-
delphia, and that Nicol will play in left
garden The reason for Harley quitting is
not given. 1t may be that he has been in
jured, and again he may have been scld
to Philadelphia.
1t would do the game world Of good If
Pittsburg won the pennant this year. That
Is. 1t would greatly aid the game on the
western circuit. People out west are be-
coming exceedingly tired of seeing eastern
teams winning pennantS. 1t has become
monotonous So much so. In fact, that
westerners, when selecting the winners do
not figure the teams on this circuit no
matter how strong they are. as having a
chance to land flag. AT the commence
ment Of the present season ST. Louis ap-
peared on paper to have the pennant al
most won, but almost every dopster in the
country picked some team to beat the Car
dfnals. Boston, Baltimore and Brooklyn
have had the flag between them since the
organization of the present league. The
other clubs, especially the western ones,

series of a divided season was finished
