SURPRISE IN BASE BALL CIRCLES Mr. Robison Has Not Come to a Decision. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES The New York Sun today says: “The Brooklyn Base Ball Club, through Presi- dent C. H. Byrne and F. A. Abell, made a cash offer of $100,000 to Frank De H. Rob- ison yesterday for the franchise and play- ers of the Cleveland club. The offer was so unexpected that the Cleveland magnate declined to say anything, except that he would consider it, and would probably re- fuse It. Tke Brooklyn officials, elated over the league’s sanction to play cent bali, and more confident than ever before of se- curing new grounds within a few days, are anxious to give the best article of ball to their Erooklya patrons that money can provide. 's. Byrne and Abell, together with several moneyed Brooklynites, have been considering the plan of putting up big money for star play and have been ne- gotiating with Robison of Cleveland for some time past for the release of Jack O'Connor. Accordingly, when Robison a rived here on Wednesday night he rece! ved a telegram to meet Byrne at 11 o'clock yes- terday morning. For six hours they were together, and they talked nothing but base ball. The Cleveland president did not re- fuse to listen to a deal for O'Connor, but when President Byrne sprung che $100,000 offer he was completely taken by surprise. To a Sun reporter Byrne said last night: “Realizing that there is some opposition to Suaday ball playing in Cleveland, and having heard that Robison might transfer his splendid ball team to some other city unless he could play games on the Sabbath, the brooklyn club has decided to get In the first bid for one of the best base ball plants of the league. In behalf of Mr. Abell and some friends, I have today informed Mr. Robison that we will give $100,000 in cash tor the Cleveland club, lock, stock and bar- rel. We make this offer for the very good reason that we fecl confident of realizing at least 50 per cent on our investment in one year. The fact that we are going to play 25-cent ball in Brooklyn has received widespread commendation from our pa- trons, and, with new grounds and a strong team, we hope to give general satisfaction, Mr. y the word, and ave Tebeau and his men playing bigger crowds than ever before in of the gam nt Robi:on,who was present whle talking, said that he did not care to d’scuss the offer beyond the state- ment that it was most unexpected and very liberal. ‘I will think it over,’ said he, ‘but I do not believe now that it will be aceeptable.’ Byrne and Robison w: eee last night, and will meet agai “In the event of Robison’s acceptance of Brooklyn's offer, Cleveland would probably remain in the league circuit, with a team made up of many of the present Brooklyn team and some extra piayers who are with Tebeau now. The franchise would be own- ed by the Brooklyn peyple, who would be d to run a club in the forest city unanimous consent of the leagie cculd be secured to transfer the franchise to some other city. “W. H. Conant, treasurer of the T League Club, arrived in town Wedn y night from a visit to Old Point Comfort. It was reported in the Fifth Avenue Hotel that he had held a long talk with Robison, who did not leave him until an early hour in the morning. But the wily Cleveland only laughed when questioned about the matter, and said that even if he did sce Conant, they didn’t taik base bail. “President Byrne hes closed a deal with Cincinnati whereby Shortstop Ritchey will play under Ewing's management.” Series of Races for Homers.

I intend to publish shortly in the Madrid press at length my opinien on this new departure in American politics, and the promising prospects of its influence on the relations of the United States with Spain and the rest of the world.” made a It matters littie what it is that you want —whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the per- son who can fill your need. ae The Care of the Eyes. Dr. Reyburn’s lecture last evening at Carroll Institute, under the auspices of the “Capital Camera Club,” was largely at- tended, and the lecture was a pronounced success. Dr. Reyburn talked in a matter- ef-fact way about the innre structure of the eye, divesting the swjhject, as much as pessible, of medical terms. After treating the sabject proper, the afflictions of blindness were illustrated by beautiful slides of “‘Nydia,” “‘Sedipus” and others, and the beauties; that nature un- fclds to the sight were revealed in a num-7 ber of fine landscape, marine and floral pieces, the work of members of the Capital Camera Club. Some of. these had been beautifully colored by Mrs. G. A. Brandt of this city, and elicited much applause. The next lecture of the (lub will be at the same place Thursday é@venIng next. Mr. Chas. E.
