BROOKLYN CLUB
NOT FOR BALTIMORE

the Brooklyn club is sold out In default
of the $4,000 judgment obtained against
the club by Hanlon. F. A. Abel and the
Won Der Horst estate the National

ers merely want to see the books Of the
club.
Hanlon, who Is In Baltimore said yes
terday:
The suits against the Brooklyn club have
been brought with no such purpose Of
transferring the National League franchise
from Brooklyn to Baltimore. Mr. Abel
and myself. uniting with the interests Of
the late Mr.. Won Der Horst, are simply
pleading for our rights. of which We be-
lieve we have been defrauded for several
years by Mr.. Ebbetts and those with him
In control of the Brooklyn club. We are
now minority stockholders in the Brooklyn

more been kept in complete ignorance Of
the business affairs of the club.

Jimmy Sheckard is said to have objected

McAIeer has practically decided to play
Yeager at third for the Browns. although
some of the ST. Louis fans still harbor an
idea that Hartsel will get the place. Me-
AIeer would never have passed up hickey
if he was not banking on playing feascr
for third regularly.
The base ball fans of Memphis believe
that the bill introduced in the legislature
a few days ago to prevent Sunday amuse-
ments of all kinds is aimed at base bah.
The sponsors for the bill are the same
people who were successful in having the
anti-race track measure passed.
Charley Comiskey says that few teams
win two worlds championships in success
sion, but that the White Sox are going TO
establish a precedent this year The White
Sox are fortified against accidents. and he
cannot see how his team is going to lose.
This looks like bold prediction before the
