Van Haltren And Gombert To Play In Chicago
Chicago Jan 30 Ad Gombert and George Van Haltren will play in Chicago. This early official word follows Spalding and Anson returning from the East. J Palmer ONeill has pressed Anson for permission to negotiate with Gombert and Van Haltren, who have been with the Chicago squad since 19. Keach, president of the association club, says the visit is purely commercial with no special baseball significance. He is pleased with season prospects and will seek a first baseman to replace Farrar.

Bierbauer's Case Before New Board of Control
One of the first cases likely to reach the new Board of Control concerns Bierbauer, the former Athletics second baseman. He was released by manager Hanlon for Pittburgham, and Wagner-Mrethers claim him for the new Athletics. The decision hinges on whether the player remained on the reserved list or was end-of-season. If reserved, Bierbauer would belong to the American Association for at least ten years and could be claimed by its members before the League acts.
