 Some Players SInirked.
 blonel Ruppert is determined to Xe the cleanup thorough. Some of #players last sason did not earn Xtenth of the salaries they were Fling. from our club, and we have Ne up our minds that nobody but Nc who can make good will be car by us next season.
 Reports that we were dissatisfied
 the showing made by Bill Dono-
 are false. Donovan, under the
 nmstances. did fine work. He had /putfield that could not field and Enfield that could not hit. The &hing staff, for the greater part of #season was weak and the pitching, Rpt by a few of the men, was very e. Fifth was certainly fine place hnd that club. Donovan will man.
 the club again in 1916.
 Next season we are going to do Eh better, we hope. We have led a lot of young players, many whom bid fair to turn out stars of I first magnitude. Shirkers will ftively not be tolerated."

Keating, who was injured d almost useless all last season s purchased by Frank Farrell from e Lawrence club of the New Eng. fd league at a reported price o1 1000. He has pitched some goot Imes for the Yankees, but has beer fatic and sometimes unable to keeI condition.
 Cree's Going Deplored. Cole, the former Cub hurler, wa |tained from the Southern league Id several years ago held up Farrel r a raise in the strength of an offe pm the Feds. Cole underwent a. beration for 8 tumor on his leg las ason, and his ability to come bac regarded with extreme doubt.
 Pete Daily came here from tn thletics in exchange for Jimm 'a1sh. The latter was obtained b rank Chance, and when he failed lake good was sent acting the role ( .iiity outfielder with indifferent sut ess. Daley wants to play in the Pa' ic Coast league. He halls from Lt ngeles.
 New York fans will be sorry to se rec go, but Birdie seems to haN owed up after seven years in the b now.
