AFTER MORE PLAYERS.
Tri-State Agent Stirs Up the Brook
lVns

A special from Pittsburg says that a SEN
sation in base ball circles was sprung
there yesterday when 1t became public that
agents of the Tri-State League have been
in the Smoky city for some days, in fact,
trying to induce dissatisfied Brooklyn
players to jump to the Tri-State. Manager
Ned Hanlon of the Brooklyns received
word yesterday that agents from Gainesville
Pa. were discussing base ball with his
players and that he should look out. Late
last evening Hanlon came on two of his
players in close communication with Doc
Reisling. one of the Gainesville pitchers
AS Reisling himself broke a contract with
Brooklyn to go with the Tri-State, the
meeting under these circumstances was
rather warm. Reisiing left the hotel hur-
riedly.
Hanlon called his men in and had long
talk with them-rather he did the talking.
1t Is understood that Hanlon told all that
the player who wanted to jump need not
worry about him-to simply turn in his
room key. Afterward Hanlon said in pub
lie: Il don't know how many of my men
this Reisling has succeeded in getting or
whether he has succeeded in getting any
of them. l am sick and tired Of this bust
ness OF jumping contracts and I didn't
look into the matter very closely. | don't
think he can get any of my men, however.
The jumpers are always those fellows who
oon want TO Work ana sun demand eX-
orbitant salaries. l didn't even ask any
of my men what he had said to them
This is not the first time Reisling has
been in Pittsburg this spring. He was
there while Boston was playing at EXPOSE
ton Park. but he kept himself very scarce
and few persons knew he was In the city.
1t was then that Clymer of the Pittsburgs
Is said to have been approached by Coates
Vile and asked about jumping Pittsburg
1t is remarked now that when Reisling is
in Pittsburg Clymer is not. He was sent
to Cambridge Springs some days ago

There will be: several felony indict
