Base Ball Notes.

Billy MaIoney has been cast adrift by
Cincinnati. The St. Louis Nationals may
sign him.
Twenty thousand dollars has been raised
to float Hanlon's club from Baltimore in the
Eastern League. Hanlon has taken 5000
worth of the stock.
Tebeau & Joyce are to dissolve partner
ship. Yet they found the high-ball business
more profitable than the base bali business.
Courtney, with the Boston Nationals last
season. had many offers for 1903. but de-
cided to stay in his home in Los Angeles,
where he is slated to play third base.
Pitcher Virgil Garyin has been turned
adrift by Brooklyn and will be found with
the Milwaukee team Of the American Asso-
citation this year.
Hugh Duffy could have had the manage
ment of the Philadelphia National League
but for the fact that he was under engage
ment to Milwaukee.
Manager Hanlon of the Brooklyns claims
that he may take five Of the Reds pitchers
If he desires them. Hanlon has another
guess coming.
From st. Louis comes the announcement
that Pat Donovan has claimed Billy Malo-
ney, released by Cincinnati, and that the
ex-Red will report with the other Cardinals
in the spring.
Five different locations have been discoy-
cred for the American League base ball
team In New York. Evidently New York
has yet some chance OF growing.

plauded his work to the echo.

There are but few cases on record
where ball players are so affected by
the heat that they are compelled to get
out of a game. So far as can be as
certained there is no record of profess

of the heat, and because there is no
precedent the inference that Ed Do

while the suns heat leaves them weak

they are never in a condition of col

it looks as though there was something
stronger than work in the sun behind
Doheny's peculiar actions. The Pitts
