The National commission decided against Dr Reisling, the player who signed with Pittsburg last season, and if he wants him. Barney says he will not make any battle for him. ..-- . Of the Delehanty family, Tom will go to Portland. Ore, Joe to Buffalo, James to the Boston Nationals, Frank to Montgomery in the Southern league and Willie to Haverhill. No two of them will be in the same league.
 None of the Chicago National ball players received cuts in their salaries. President Hart probably took into con sideration the fact that they would need all the money they can get. Most of the boys got married during the winter.
 But two of the Pittsburg team are left of the bunch who were there
 when the consolidation with the Louisville team took place four sea
 sons ago. They are Leever and Beaumont. This state of things is
 partially due to the inroads of the American league.
 The appointment of MT Green as
 business manager of the Boston American league club was due in no small measure to the influence of
 President Ban Johnson. who has a. very high opinion of the young man, and is confident he will prove compe- tent and popular.
 Pitcher Glade. who last year twirIed for the St Louis team, has
 rsr h. at salary of $3,OOO. Glade was with the Chicago National club two years ago, but was released because he quite record with St Joseph, and he
 Is expected to prove one of this years stars

 IS Park place. Feb. 16. but the editor, Henry Chadwick, with rare push for one in his SOth year. has worked to
 such advantage that the publicati tion will be ready las early as usual and as II nothing had happened.

 The Philadelphia National League club being unable to wait any longer for those damage suits to come up for trial, and which the lawyers, are holding back, for reasons best known to themselves, had to make prepar- ations for the rebuilding of it's colldp- sed and condemned stands at once and work on fhem will be commenced this week. After the new stands are finished, the seating capacity will be increased from 21.000 to over 26,OOo.
 Charles Dexter will ever cherish letter from 10-year-o1d boy named J. Mortimer Goldsmith, jr.. whose life was saved in the Iroquois theater dis aster. Dexter helped the little fel- low out. and the lad. though confined to bed by his injuries, had indited letter to Dexter, thanking him for his brave conduct. He says that the base ball player seems to be "a manly man, he cannot say for others, who fought him back in the crush in order to save their own lives"
 Manager Dan O'Neill has secured a new player for 1ngtield-Flanagan, last season of Meriden. He is a fielder and a hitter. and O'Neill, has been after him for three weeks, but was unable to come to terms until Tuesday, when he bought him out right from Kennedy, the Meriden man. ager.

 The work of moving the spacious club house from Manhattan field to the Polo grounds has been completed, and McGraws men will have quar- ters this year that in point of conven- fence and room will excel anything of the kind in the country. The main entrance has been remodeled and the whole field has been practically re- built By the time McGraw's men return from their southern trip their home will have been made ready for the championship campaign.
 Pulliam's defiance of Johnson was laughed at by baseball men yester- day, in view of the fact that the club owners themselves are the only ones who can declare war. There is not a baseball club in either league, bar ring possibly the New York and Pittsburg Nationals. that wants a war, and Dreyfuss and Brush are fig uring that they have the better of the argument now, the former because there is no conflict in his city, and the 1 latter because the subway will be late in reaching the New York Amer 1 icans' grounds.
 As far as the National league as a l body Is concerned. 1t is a matter of l fact that Hermann. Hart, Robson, l Soden. Conant, Abell. Won der Horst 1 and Potter want peace at any price, 1 and they will not make a move to bring on another fight. f The Ameri- can league men are practically a unit l
