The announcement is made that the fiaymakers, of Troy or Lunsingburg, have dis- bended as an Internaiional leam, resizned their membership, and reorganized as'a cooperative team, with Craver as Cabtain and second base.

The other Mercury (not the respectable onc) haa the following: **The Hornells, New Bedfords, snd Hartfords, while on their recent visit to this city, went £0 far as to subscrive for the relief of o oan expelled for selling gumes, and_enconraged Bim to persist in forcing himeell as a playeragainet the Athletics, altnouzth these same men refuse to 8llow bim 10 pluy agdinst their nines.

Ti will etrike the average reader who bas followed the history of baec-ball in Philadeiphin {bat there ie bardly any danger of corrupting the Athletic Club so lony as it is under it present management, which is, by the way, the same one which stood out ko Etrongly for Deviin when he was expelled.

To_begin with,: the Worcester Spu stafes thut, sfter Friday's same be- tween the Worcesters and Springflelds, which was won by the Worcesters by a ecure of 18 to 6, the Springfields were disbanded, the bottom having been knocked out of them. 7o off<et thia,: the Boston flerald says: *‘In view of the continued ill-auccess of the Springfield Club. a meeting of the Assgciation wus held last Saturday to consider what action should be taken. Tweuty-tive mem- hers ware prescnt, and it was voted unanimourly to 20 on with the Club.™ In corroboration of this latter statement, it is_reported by the St. Louls Gighe- Derocral that ** Pearce and McGeary will | the ~ match to be run on the Fourth probably joia the Springleld (Mase.) team Within | wos st bronght - inio - question, | Str a week or ten days.” Dut then this | Clark, the. President of the Louisvilla latter assertion _gets & _set-back from | Jockey Clab, published & card in the Courier-Jour- the foliowing item in the New York | nal, in which ho stated in the most explicit man- Worid: **Dicky Pearce ia coming home from St | ner that the race would be run under 1he suspices and control of the Lonisville Club, which of itself was & suflicient guarantee that nothing of a rus- picious character would be tolerated.” But even: this does not eatiafy the St. Louis papers, and the Globe- Democrat still keeps howling away that the race is a fraud, and thatit willbo a fuwilure, the ground for the latter assertion being the nileged fact that nobody from St. Louis will atiend it. This mny all be true as Holy Writ, bat nabudy out- side of St. Louis will believe it, and when the Cal- ifornia mare and the Kentucky stallion strip for their wrest contest the crowd in attendance will bo just as lurge as it would huve been if the St. Louis Dapers hud lauded the match to the skies. There will be n few leas dexd-hends from those papers on tha ground, but that wili be all. - There i one thing. however, that the officers of the St. Louis Jockey Clubshould do. and thug is, disavow any sympathy with, or responsibility for, the slanderous insinuations of the papers of that city. Shonld they not do this. the Louigville Au- #ociation would have just cause to infer tkat they are backing those pape in_their dirty work, and sct accordingly. The St. Louis Club, aithough a vowerfal youngster, is a little too much of #n in- fant yet to engage in any Aght with the Kentucky Association, which has an honorable recori of fitty years to give atrength &nd prestige to any movement it may muke. The St. Lonis men can undoubtediy bring onu fight i they wish ta, but the chrnces of thelr coming out of it second best are so decidedly sood that discretion would be the better part of valor. COLUMDUS, O. Coruxnus, O., June 15.—The heavy rain of to- day materially reduced the crowd at the races, and made the track quite heavy. The firat race, $150, one-ind-a-quarter mile dnxh, had eight starters, but wus handsomely won by Warfleld in 2:20%, Lady Darcy second, sng Maggie Shields third.
