There will be six cities in the East
ern League next season in which Sun
day ball will be played. Worcester and
toronto are the only cities where Sun
day ball is not attempted.
| Jack Doyle, the Chicago first base
man, will have trial at second base
next season, while Harry O'Hagan will
work out first base for the Orphans.
Rochester's pennant winning team is
being awfully split up.
Harvey Parker, the Little Dem
| on is getting the cold stare from all
the crack wrestlers. After failing to
throw Bothner twice in an hour, Par
ker got married and went on the road
with a burlesque and vaudeville com
pany. He has been losing money for
the management nightly, and unless
he takes big brace within a few days
his drawing powers will diminish.
Jimmy Bannon. the popular out
| fielder, Will be captain of the Toronto
team next season. Bannon was slated
for the managership, and had not the
directors wisely decided to retain MIR.
! Barrow, James would have had that
position.
After 10 years of service away
from his native city, 70 of which were
passed as a member of the Boston N.
l.. team, Charlie Nichols intends to re-
turn to Kansas City where he made a
big hit in 1888. The following year
Nichols went to Omaha with Manager
Frank G. Selee, and the following year
ne went to Boston with Selee.
Barney Dreyfuss and Harry Pull
liam, the Pittsburg baseball magnates,
are interested in a project to organize
a professional football league with
teams in Pittsburg. Chicago, Philadel-
phia and Boston. The Pittsburg men
worked in the interests of the Home
stead. Pa, team this fall, and the
eleven was a big financial winner.
The New London. CT, sports are
clamoring for an opportunity to see
HJalmar Lundin and Carl Schmidt of
New York in a wrestling match. The
wrestling game never got on a good
footing in Connecticut but its chances
are bright at the present time.
Worcester High School football
knows whether they will be able to
serve. There has been a fearfully I'M
pleasant wrangle in every athletic de-
partment at Worcester High in the
past few months.
Jack Brennan, the former Holy
Cross catcher, will have trial with
the Toronto team next season. Bren-
nan would be counted as a sure winner
but for the fact that he is weak with
the stick
The wrestling match in Father
Mathew Hall Wednesday night will
give Oscar Sundstrom a splendid OPP
portunity to show the improvement he
has made under Lundins careful
watching. Nick Elliott of New York
will be SundstrOm's opponent.
Harvey Parker claims his defeat at
the hands of J. Dwyer resulted from
| illness. Parker claims to have pois-
Oned his leg. He says when he went
on the mat with Dwyer, his leg panied
him so as to greatly weaken him. The
Little Demon" has evidently been
working too hard in his attempts to
throw heavyweights.
John Malarkey, the veteran pitcher,
who was Rochesters winner last sea-
| son, has received offers from the Ma
| tiOnal League John says the Eastern
League is satisfactory and he doesn't
| intend to seek a position in either of
the major leagues
Sam Harris, Terry McGovern's
tight-fisted manager. is stark, raving,
bowling mad because Young Corbett is
giving him the laugh when Harris pro-
poses terms for another match. Har-
ris was a little Gar when he had a
recognized champion, and 1t is a bitter
pill for him to have to swallow Young
Corbetts CUFF
The Woonsocket basketball team is
to be strengthened after tonight
game. An effort has been made to get
the Twenty1Third Street New York
team to enter the league with Woon-
socket as its home ]. F. Cronan, the
former Millbury manager, is now a
part owner of the Woonsocket team.
Manager William j. Darcy having
sold an interest in the team to Cronan.
