A BROOKLYN FAN. Our answer is yea, ‘There was, there ix and there may be. Who can toil? ‘A team representing the borough on the wrong side of the bridge was granted a franchise in the year 1690. ‘They no more than came into the fold when they went out and won the pen- nant.

A Mr. Mamaux, Mitchell, Pfeffer, Smith, Cadore, Miller and Tommy Grimth are already on hand and a Mr. Robinson, who manages the ag- gregation, Is expected to report to-day to give the boys a few pointers.

Besides this pair of rookies there are Lee King and Vernon Spencer to cause Kauff some uneasiness. Bill Ryan, Reynolds Kelly and Olin Voigt pitched on Saturday and Jess Winters, Phil Douglas and Claude Davenport yesterday. All looked good, though, of course, the San An- tonto hitters are not National League batsmen. “Shuffling” Phil Douglas says he’s “ready to go in right now.” Cozy Dolan, former coach of the Cubs and befove that third baseman for the Yanks and Cardinals, has been signed by the Glant management as assistant coach.

ANSWER TO BROOKLYN FAN There Is a Ball Team Across the Bridge and It Is Expected to Enter the Race for the National League Pennant This. Season. A Duteh Ruether, who was traded from nother so-called ball team, the Cin- cinnatl Reds, is said to be a holdvut. Ruether made rather a decent show- ing with his bat and arm In a recent World's Series between this same Cin- cinnati team and an American League nine called the White Pillowa or Stockings or some such name, and he is considered quite a fair performer on the hurling mound. Ruether, in a letter to the owner of the Brooxlyn ball team, stated it would cost him two bucks morea a day to live in Brooklyn than in Cincinnat!, and he would not report until the difference had been deposited in the dime sav- ings bank. He has kept his promise and has been put on a blacklist with the heading “holdout” written across the top. Burleigh Grimes, another thrower, occupies second place on this list, and there is much concern being shown by the and jovial manager. Grimes threw very well last season. To be truthful, he was conaidercd the best thrower in the National League. With the ball of course, (Please get that ball right, Mr. Compositor.) A fire extinguisher bas been dug up, however, and the flames of anxiety, so to speak, have been rather dimin- ished by the fact that all other mem- bers of the BROOKLYN BALL TEAM are in good standing (like the subway patrons) and will be on hand shortiy Several youths who for unknown rea- sons desire to make baseball their vc- cupation, are at the training camp, and in a few days from now their sensational doings will be reported in the newspaper columns.

In part, Mr, Fisher said; ‘The youth of to-day will write to-mor- cow's history in every phase of na- tional life, It is paramount that young | America or the great men of to-mor- row be tagght to fight courageously, win modestly and lose gracefully. “To the loser, let me say that the | disgrace js not in the losing, but in not trying, “Mayor Thompson, in behalf of The Evening World, it affords me great pleasure jn presenting to you and | through you to the boys of your city, this trophy. “Whether the purse is $40,000 or a humble medal, the winning ts the ulti- mate reward. “Although we were defeated this time, we look forward to next year, when we may journey to your city and take back to New York the spoils of victory as you do to-day. “The Evening World, which was in- strumental in inspiring this great event, stands ready at all times to assist in the promotion of healthful sport of this kind, that will leave its impression on the men of the future generation.” Mayor Thompson expressed his thanks to The Pyening World from the winning team and the people of Chicago.
