1t is difficult to tell who of the team
are slated for dismissal, but the fans
have picked upon Middleton, Hughes
and Poor, and perhaps Arthur. The pa
irons of the game would dislike to
have link go, even IL he does not con-
tinue at first bag.
The following is from a Columbus,
Ohio, exchange: big Mullaney last
night accepted terms with the Wash
ington American league team and
leaves to join Manning's outfit to-
night. He also had an offer from
Rock Island, in the Three-I league.
There is no better fielding first base
man in the league than Mullaney, and
he had been hitting over 800 for two
weeks before he got to Fort Wayne
and found another man waiting to
take his place. The cause of Mulla-
ney's release is known only to one or
two exceptionally wise ones on the
hoard of directors. The big fellow
has made hosts of friends by his good
work of the past month and many
good wishes for continued success will

that Sage landed the big fellow, after

Notes of the Diamond.
1t is the same old story of not be-
ing able to hit the Rockford
Register Ga zette. Same old story
here.-Decatur Herald. Ditto.
One would hardly recognize the
Rock Island team in the lineup Of yes
terday's game. Jarvis and Arthur
were the only Two in their regular
positions. There was another new
man in the game, Blake, who COW
cred left.
A great crowd will likely go from
here TO the game in Davenport the
Fourth.
