Jack Hayden, who tried his hand in the right field for the Boston Americans last season, dropped into the office of the club in the Old South building the other morning He ex- pressed his regret at being relegated to minor league company, for it meant less salary, but he said that if he had to so back he preferred to work under Al Buckenberger than under anybody else.-Boston Herald.
 Gid Brown, the we'll known pitch- CT, has attached his signature to the bottom of an Albany contract, and the coming season will find him shooting them over on the New York State league circuit. He had chances to play in the Tri-State, Hudson Riv- CT and New England leagues. but the offer from Manager Doherty proved the best.
 When the Tri-State league came into the fold 1t put qu;etus on the performances of Stony McGlynn, the star grasshopper of Jumperville. Last season Stony started with the Tri- State league, but soon jumped to some team in Maryland. In a short time he was back again with the Tri- State. Then he took trip up New York state, where he tarried but a few days and returned to York, Pa. Once more hurdle, this time to Steubenville, O., and then back to the outlaws. Then came a long jump to the St Louis Nationals, where Stony probably will stop awhile. He had just notified Manager McCloskey that he intended to jump again, when he received word that the Tri-State league had become . part of organ ized ball.
