their understanding that he will play in
Chicago or nowhere
Delehanty has been in Detroit for the
past week taking regular medical treat

the game today, but as Holmes is doing SO
well he is not needed.
The ST. Louis papers are becoming wor-
ried over the winning qualifications of the
Browns and fear the coming eastern trip.
The Browns will play as good, if not better,
ball on the road than at home.
George Brown, the Washington boy with

best work for their respective teams. Lee .

The report that President Pulliam had
appointed Gaffney as a National League

executive that he had arranged with the
veteran to ofticiate in one game at Brook
lyman engagement which the official
neglected to keep.
President Bryce of the Columbus team
has purchased the release of Infelder Glea-
son from the Boston Americans for a con-

season, was transferred to Chicago, but re-
fused to report.
The management of the Philadelphia Ma

no stone unturned in its effort to strengthen
the team. In line with this intention, and
