The one big change which Is planned to
take place the Cincinnati team before
the season of 1904 opens will end the careers
of Beckley, Bergen and Phillips as wearers
of the red stockings. This trio will in all
probability be found with the Phillies next
, season. and will do much to give that team
a formidable appearance. AS yet the deal

Henry Kililea Of Milwaukee owrer of the
Boston American League club, will meet
