An item is going the rounds about Hugh

It is in Atlanta that the shutters are up
at 10-Boston Herald.
Another baseball landmark has passed
away from a major league club in Henry
PeitZ. the veteran catcher, who has been
sold by Pittsburg to Louisville. A short
stop before he became a major Lacquer,
he was placed behind the bat in St Louis
in 1882. Cincinnati bought his release
from St Louis in 1886. and he played in
Cincinnati nine seasons. Two seasons ago
he was traded 10 PittsbUrg.
A Chicago writer says that Boston,
contrary 10 general statements, does not
need a first baseman. Grimshaw is good
enough for any club. and a trade OF Grim
shaw for Stahl would simply change the
first sackers. not I'll any want BOston's
success for 1897 depends largely upon the
condition Of Collins. who may or may not
be the great third baseman he was. while
the condition Of Criger Will count good
deal. Boston could use a live pitcher. and
the outfeld is an uncertain quantity"
i look for a better New England
League season by 20 per cent than any
thing we have had before" says Presi-
dent Tim" Murnane. I'VE have a
stronger organiza ton and consequently
can look for a better race all along the
line I expect to see the Old-time rivalry
between New Bedford and Fall River de-
veloped as il never has been before
Lowell ought 10 be one of our best strong
holds, and 1 consider 1t one Of the most
valuable franchises there is on the cir
cult. Under the able leadership Of Jim
Rolley, Lawrence has been made a pay
ing proposition. and a strong factor in
championship race The circuit is one OF
the most compact in the country
Second Baseman Strobel Of the Boston
Nationals, has just made a statement
that does not reflect much credit upon
SOden and COnant, the former owners
of the club, who recently sold out to
George B. Dovey. Strobel says that he
signed last season for what was really
a minor league salary. but that he was
so badly hurt in a collision with Catcher
Grady, at ST. Louis, in the summer, that
he could not play again during the re-
mainder of the season Although all OF
the major league clubs pay the expenses
OF players placed in this manner under
medical treatment, Strobel declares that
iie WetS ulleLbiS ~ oCN"AN NH1 20 - "
$3.50 paid out by him in doctors bills, al
though he received his salary intact
" lille he was idle. StrObel, by the way, /
will be sent either to Toronto or Balti- |
more. by the Boston Nationals. as he has
no chance to displace Ritchey, of Pitts |
burg. at the second bag.
