Baseball and league notes from a bygone season
Philadelphia seeks John Mor rill while Conway moves to Worcester and Viau trains his brother in Cincinnati. Association and league meetings are set for Tuesday. Brooklyn may host Sunday games and Coney Island is a potential site. Ward and Newton McMillan book the Spaulding tour. Barnie forecasts Ward staying with the Giants. Hartford and Easton fill Atlantic league vacancies as Old Metropolitans form anew in New York. Silver King credits Jonne for sharper pitching, Gus Land joins the Browns, and Donnelly targets Washington if Ralph John 600 cannot be secured. Jack Glasscock may play for 2500 or sit, and Mike Kelley again bets Boston will win the pennant, a claim noted for its fragile certainty.
