McFarland arrived at San Francisco early this week and is expected to be In New York to-day or to-morrow. Manager Buckenberger, of the Boston team, Ig much chagrined over the fact that three members of his team will not play Sunday baseball, the men being Fred Tenney, Charile Pittinger and Pitcher Wilhelm. ‘Tenney's reaaon for not playing Sunday is that his con- tract does not call for Sunday games. Pittinger declares that he promised his mother whén he was a boy that he | would never play baseball or go on the stage on Sunday, and Wilhelm says he merely objects to Sunday games and therefore will not take part in them. “If these men are with the Boston team next yeur,” sald Manager Buck- enberger, remembering what an awful predicament this non-Sunday playing spirit of his men left him in at’ st, } Louis last Sunday, when he had but ten men availuble for the game, “they'll ALL MUST PLAY SUNDAY - BASEBALL NEXT SEASON play Sunday ball all right enough, 2 doubt if any of them gg to church on Sunday—it they do they make their }sneak so early that no one sees them or ever hears of thelr going. It ib less than two years ago that ‘Tenney played a Sunday exlibition game with some swell club outside of Philadelphia, and because the team with which he was ‘ssoclated lost the game the Philadel- phia players declared that the Bostons trad been badly walloped by an amateur team, On another occasion, while wa were making a trip from Alton, IL, ta St. Louls on a boat daring a figod, which would not allow us to get Int the Mound City ona train, Tenney and sqveral other members of the team en- tertained the passengers for qulte a while with as interesting a poker gama aus ever was played—and that happened on Sunday, 200, Under these cireum- stances, T'can t see why ‘Tenney and the ‘others should not play Sunday baseball |—and they certainly will next season,”” GREAT ATHLETE FROM REND ‘Thomas F.
