Hogan declared that the only CONNER

DUNN FOR BROOKLYN'S TEAM

A sporting writer in discussing baseball
topics says: IF the Brooklyn club wishes
to enjoy the support OF baseball fans
across the bridge II might be shrewd
move TO secure lack Dunn from the
Providence club OF the Eastern league, as
the new manager to succeed Hanlon.
Dunn showed remarkable ability In this
position last season and Is handler
from the Hanlon-M -McGraw school"
Officials OF the Providence baseball club
stated last evening that Manager Dunn
had already refused two or three offers
from National league teams TO go with
them for next season, and there was
every probability AT present that he would
remain with the local club.
