kinds of f1attering promises, chief among
which is that they will lay out suitable
park within short distance OF. the CEN
ter of the city. If this is done there
seems to be no valid reason why the
game should not thrive there Des Moines
and Sioux City will form convenient
stopping places on the trip from the
Twin Cities to Omaha and the expenses
for transportation will be greatly re-
duced by having these cities in the
league Denver looks like an expensive
proposition. The trip from Omaha to
the Mountain City is a long one, but as
there is nothing between the two points
worthy of consideration it will have to
come in all by its lonesome. However,
the fans of that city support the game
i'll a royal manner, and the managers
will probably be able to break even on
the jump even though they do not make
much money. st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Des Moines, Sioux City, Omaha, st. zJo-
seph, Kansas City and Denver make a
very good circuit, and it Is an even bet
that the clubs that play these towns
will make as many simoleons during the
season as those that are scheduled to ap-
pear in some of the larger centers.
A dispatch from Kansas City says:
Judges Henry and Gibson, CT the
county circuit court, have given informal
notice that Manager George Tebeau Will
proceed at his own peril is he continues
l Maun NJ bosse fa team in Shelley park.
The proposed ground adjoins the court
house square, and the judges say that II
would be out of the question to hcld
court with a baseball game in prog
ress under the window. ,And it wont
be the court that will adjourn, added
Judge Henry, significantly. Judge Hen
ry had an entire band arrested last sum
1ef NV
Shelley park. Manager Tebeau is not
in town, but it is probable that when nc
hears of the circuit judges position ne
will change his plans and take Jimmy 1i my
Manning's exposition park lease of the
latter's hands.
The Chicago Journal gives the foliow,
themselves with the American:
McGraw, third baseman, St Louis.
Robinson, catcher, St. Louis.
Duffy, outffelder, Boston
Collins, third baseman, Boston.
Lajoie, second base, Philadelphia
Criger, catcher, St. Louis.
McGinnity.- pitcher, Brooklyn.
Jones. outfielder, Brooklyn
Jennings, first baseman, Brooklyn.
Griffith, pitcher, Chicago.
Garvin, pitcher, Chicago.
Heidrick, center fielder, st. Louis.
Wallace, shortstop, st. Louis.
Callahan, pitcher, Chicago.
Green, outfelder. Chicago.
Dineen, pitcher. Boston.
Stahl and Freeman, outfelders, Bos-
Flick and slagel. outfelders, Philadel-
phia.
Howell. pitcher, Brooklyn,
Keister, second baseman, st. Louis
70 this bunch should be added Pitcher
Taylor and Shortstop Mccormick, of Chi
cago; Outf1elders Keeler and Sheekard
and Pitcher Yeager, of Brooklyn: Out
fielder Crawford, of Cincinnati; Second
Baseman Gleason, Pitcher Carrick,
Pitcher Mercer and Outfelder Foster, of
New York.
Most of these men have some special
reason for the alleged desire to jump
McGraw, Robinson and Duffy want to be
at the head Of clubs, thus making extra
money. Lajoie~ doesn't like Philadelphia,
and Slagel was going to get tn ak. Me-
Ginnity was dissatisfied with the money
at Brooklyn. Griffith is an anarchist,
anyway Garvin is easily led astray by
any smooth talker. Heidrick is at outs
with the ST. Louis management. Stanl
and Freeman were looking for the
Ratchet at Boston. Howell is none too
sure of his job. and the same trouble
applies to Foster and Crawford, and
Keister was unpopular with the St
Louis crowds.
