C.-St Joseph game | will be one of the most interesting cf the year. It will be of the nature of last Sundays game att the { Driving park. Both teams wilF Be Strength ened considerably by the addition of professional players. T. If the B. A.SC. loses and the ". H.tA c. wins the latter will be in the lead. and it will be necessary for the B. A. c. to win their postponed game with the Jeffer- | sons to tie the W. H. A. c. If the B.

 When the New York team was in St Louis week ago it was reported that Jack Warner had signed with the l American league. Yesterday Warner took O., ion to deny the story, al- though he admitted that the Johnson i crowd had approached him and made him a big offer. Warner said: '1 have no complaint to make against the New York club. In fact, I consider that I have always been we'll treated ever since began to play here, but I ! do thing I should get raise in salary 1 next year. I am looking out for my self and want to get. all the money L can, for I know that II cannot play. ball all my lifes Twill give the New I York club the first chance for my ser Il vices-in fact, would rather play here for less money than anywhere else, as | my family is here I did receive big \ offer from the American league, but I did not accept it"
 Il Another of the New York team has | come into the fold and affixed his sig nature to a contract for next season. Yesterday Luther Taylor, one of the mainstays in the box this year, walked into the clubs office. No 142 Broadway, T and without any ado settled all dis O., fA -1a11.r, .S1s during the season of 1902 Taylor by the way, was another one of the Ma tional league stars whom the American leaguers had high hopes of capturing
 It is understood that the club treated Taylor literally in the matter of sal ary. During the season the, Dummy offlciated ill A games, of which he won IS and lost 26: certainly a splen- did showing in view of the fact that in the last three months of the race the team fell off greatly in batting. Tay- Tor will spend the winter on his fath- CTS farm in Kansas. He makes the fourth New York player to sign for next year, the other three being Math- ewson, Bowerman and Jones.
 New York and Brooklyn will meet in a two-part program i'm Washington Park this afternoon for the last time this season. The first game will be called at l :45 p. m.. and the second im- mediately after the first is finished. Brooklyn fans will have an opportunity of witnessing two of Hanlon's latest recruits, who were signed when the team was last in the west They are Wright and Gochnaur. formerly of the Dayton team of the Western associa- tion. Wright is pitcher-a big, pow erful young fellow, who is said to have terrific speed and an assortment of shoots and slants that will com pare favorably with the best of them. He probably will officiate in the open ing game with Farrell as the receiving end Gochnaur is a shortstop and played his first game with Brooklyn against Chicago last Sunday, and his record in this contest was first-class. He made Sone run, two hits, stole a base, had two putOnts. one assist and no errors. For New York Taylor and Hickman in all probability will occupy the points. with Bowerman and War J her behind the bat. Smith, Davis's new second baseman. will guard the middle cushion and the fans will have a chance to size up his play, he having not appeared on the team in this sec tion- Smith joined the club when it last was in Pittsburg and, judging \ from the words of commendation about his play in the west, he has more than made good.
