After the confer ence 1t was said the Cleveland club would be transferred at the end of the present playing season. but that what city it would go to had not been de- finitely decided upon. It will proba- bly, be St Louis or Pittsburg .sThe report that we have signed a num- Der of National league stars for next season is true. said Comiskey. "Our teams will be as much strengthened over this seasons clubs as they are to- day over last years. If the National league has emissaries among our play CTS trying to get them they will have a hard time, for all the players taken from the National last year are under two and three year. contracts
 There was one very serious and dis agreeable feature connected with the game yesterday and feature that should never have taken place if some people had not lost their heads. Mock of Bristol complained several times be- fore the game started that some of the young lads sitting on the bleachers were throwing stones or pebbles at him. Notwithstanding the complaint and the interference of Manager Har- rington the throwing continued Final ly along about the seventh inning Mock discovered one of the boys who was throwing and he at once cuffed his ears. Instantly there was a howl from old and young alike and during the rest of the game Mock was the object of abuse in ever manner. He was mad and he showed 1t and the policemen who surrounded him and protected him from the attacks of the crowd realized that there was going to be trouble The boy who had been cuffed denied that he threw any stone and he at once collected a crowd of his friends and then the trouble began. More stones were thrown and misses greeted Mock whenever he went to bat or to the field. After the game the crowd followed him and the policemen drove them back. Some of the young chaps carry welts today that were admins tered by the strong arm of one of the officers who knew how to wieid a whip he hnd secured from one of the teams. The crowd of boys, for they were most ly young fellows. followed the car in which Mock took his seat and stones bounded all around him while the po- licemen rushed the gang several times. Finally the ear sped away from them and the boys yelled and threw more stones until the ear was out of sight It was disgracefuI scene and should never be repeated.
