 Rufus Molly of this city was one of the pitchers on the East Liverpool team. winning eighteen and losing twelve of his thirty, games. He was in August. after having signed until been notified by the East Liverpool people about next year and thinks that he will go ahead and make bis ar. rangements just as if he wasshot re.
 Speaking of the o. and P. League, it would be joke if some of the man agers. iu this League should refuse to waive on Rili Phillips, the manager of the East Liverpool team. That Eeam was 8 virtual farm for Charlie Frank and during the latter part of the sea. son he brought Philips, Bobby ,TarIe- ton,, etc. down here when the Pe1icahs were fghxiug Tor the flag. Tarleton has already been sold to Little Rock, so the chances are that Mike Finn will let Dominick MuIlaney go back to Jacksonville. Roy MontRonery. who was also puiied from the Cotton States to hep Frank, has been drafted by ZanesviIle, Ohio. but if anybody in this League wanted to they could break 1t ups as waivers would have to be asked on Montgomery before he could get out of the Southern League.
