There is no questioning the fact
that the International League Is play
Ing great ball. Providence Yesterday
demonstrated 1t with victory over
the New York Americans. Harrisburg
within the last week defeated the Yam
KEGS and the Cincinnati Reds. 1t is
little wonder, Aowever, when the roster
OF the Ints is closely examined. The
list reads almost like that Of a big
league club.
With the game tomorrow, the cur

baseball, and showed the possibilities

worked under serious handicaps the
principal one being the lack OF money
occasioned by the failure of the Rich
mond public to meet it's fun obliga-
ton in regard to stock subscriptions
Then. too, bad weather. injuries TO
valuable players, and inability to get
others when needed in a hurry, worked
against him.
Dunn now has a corking good ag-
gregation of ball players. and from
them he can build a great team for
next season. Last week he sent in his
reserve list, which included all Of the
present players. with the exception of
Shag Thompson, who is the property
of tho Athletics. OF course, this does
have been sold, and some Of the play
ers are still subject TO draft
Schaufele, Fewster and O'Donnell
are three youngsters of promise who
are owned outright by Dunn. All are
young and with another years season

other season, while Bates, Pick and
Arragon are also the property of the
local club. The pitchers reserved by

the property of Cincinnati, but will
probably remain with Dunn.

Secretary Tom Ryan will not make
the last trip with the team. He caught
the circuit, and don't want to risk it
again. President Alvin NJ. Smith will
take his place and look after the
money end Of the game.
A Buffalo writer figures that Frank
Gilhooley has been very expensive

Originally they paid about 10000 for
him. Then he was traded to Buffalo

1t is said that the Cleveland people
who arc making the greatest howl he
cause Charley Somers sold Joe Jack
son are those who haven't paid to see
the Cleveland team play a game of ball
this year. 1t was ever thus. Many OF
those who kick on local conditions
don't support the team financially.
They're springing world series stuff
already in the public prints. The play
