Baltimore, Jan 24.-Manager Hanlon
was seen at his home and asked about
his reported connection with the as
ISOLATION club to be placed in Baltimore.
He denied that he had any active In
terest in the matter, but the denial was
made In such a way Is to leave the in

Manager Hanlon is inclined to take
rather a gloomy view OF the baseball
situation He thinks the public viii be
disguised with SO much wrangling and
will refuse to patronize the game. He
looks for a loss Of money to all con-
cerned.
It is quite clear that the National
League is backing the clubs in Balti-
more and Washington, with view to
protecting the territory for use after
the expiration Of the ten-year agree
ment. 1t can be put down for a fact
that Brooklyn will be shaken out in the
reorganization. The league is not salts
ned with the way baseball has been
supported in the Greater New York
annex, and the city viii be dropped into
a minor league at the end OF the ten
year agreement.
That, briefly, is the programme, and
putting two and two together, with a
slight use Of the differential calculus. it
is possible to figure out approximately
at least who might be interested in
keeping an American association club
alive in Baltimore.
