II Jack Dougherty can land the
matches that he has in sight at the
present time he Will be Kept busy dur
ing the winter season and will pile up
enough money to buy a big summer
resort, an automobile and few other
luxuries. No less than four clubs are

Now the grand circuit has held its
last meeting, that at Cincinnati, there
Is considerable speculation as to the
formation of the circuit next year.
Early this year the outlook for the
big line" as 1t is called, was not bril-
liant. But Cleveland stuck to its colors

This is the first time since 1886 that
the Chicago National league team has

1876, 1880, 1881, 1882 and 1885. With this

to recognize the team. 1t Is pity that
men can spend money as literally and
work as hard as have the Cincinnati
owners in the past and not get better
results.
1t looks as If John Camel, the Grand
Rapids player magnate has been
caught mapping. He has been drafted
by Cincinnati He should have released
himself so that he might escape the
draft, as Billy Hamilton has done in the
past and as Jesse Burkett did this year.

place O'Connor.
The news that Digger Stanley is likely
to come over for second battle in
Boston with Jimmy Walsh will be re-
ceived with rejoicing! 1t will be the
rubber bout between these clever
featherweghts, and will be a hummer
Amos Rusie, the once famous pitcher
with the New York Giants, still resides

his time searching for pearls on the
Wabash river. and says he has Tor
