The Athletic club officials tried every
means in their power. They ordered
the players to hustle, the pitchers to
work faster and even asked the um-

the games, but without avail.

The Federal league has been picking

owing 10 the impossibility Of dropping
them to a minor league, has been
forced to carry along many who are

probably dispose OF at least ten Of
its players without weakening their
