PLAYERS LEAGUE STANDING.

The season was practically over when the
National league suffered a terrible blow
by the sale OF the Cincinnati club by Aaron
Stern to the Brotherhood for $4,000 II
looked then as If 1t was all over with the
old league, but soon the New York Brother

Ewing's team had all the patronage from
the start While thousands fled into the
Brotherhood grounds, a mere handful OF
spectators saw the games at Mr.. Days
park. On one occasion there were 5000
spectators at the Brotherhood game, while
the turnstile count at the other grounds
was exactly os2 Metropolitan fans could
not desert the old favorites, Keefe. Crane,
Ewing. Conner. Richardson. O'Rourke,
Gore and others for the Indianapolis bunch
on the other side of the fence. and as a
result the New York Nationals lost %
much money that Mr.. Day was flying
signals of distress by August l. In order
TO keep him from going to the wall the
other National league clubs put up $4,000
to meet current obligations. and the team
played out the schedule to empty benches
But meanwhile the public, weary of the
strife and convinced that Ewing's men
could not win another pennant. became so
indifferent that the Brotherhood clubs re-
ceipts began TO fall on to an alarming de-
gree and the hackers Of the club were
soon suffering from cold feet, although
they still maintained a bold front
