President Freedman, of the New York Club, made his flrat more last week toward aiiengthening his team, and lhat he did not succeed was no fault of his. Ue had a long Interview with Janes H. Hann. Ing, nv nager of the Kansas City team, of the Went, em League, In regard to the latter taking full charge of the Hew York team next season, but the clrcumstaoces wars such that the offer, although a very liberal one, could not be accepted.

Mr. Preedman has gained conslderalile knowledge about tho national game doting hia brief connection wllh IL Ulsplanarorthegoodot the New York team are feasabte, and should he succeed In carrying them out wUlcertalifly give the local enthnslastsa team tbey wlllbe pnna of. He fully reallzea that New York, tbe greaieat olty lo the union, should have a champion team, and ne hi determined to get one if money can obtain IL New York has tho nucleus of a team that itquliea only a tew Oral claaa men to make it a whiner. The club has some excellent phayera who can be traded off to good adrantage. Among those who are very dealmhie are Doyle, van Baltnn, Bums, Oennan, Bannon. W. Clarke and Uoiler. Out of these men the local club aboold flnd little tnnble hi gelling aeveral flrst olase men to ■irengthen Its team. It la said tbat tbe Philadelphia Oinb Is making great prepamlloos for next aeaaon, and the patroni of the game In tbat city will be treated to a genu- ine Burprlas when tbe negotlatlona are completed. President Rsacb and Tteaaunr Hogen are dimila- aed with tbe work ot acme of Ihe playen ot theh' team during the past aeaaon, and tney Intend mak- ing eome ohaages. SevemI new facea will be aooa when the seaaon beglnt next year. The moat Im- portant ohsnge, however, will be In the manage- ment of the team. It Is believed that Manager Irwin was enttrely too eaay with the playen, and Ibataomeot them took advanhage of nls leniency and were not alwaya In the beat ot condition. It Is said lhat Secretary Shettallna will succeed Artbnr Irwin In tbe management of next year's team. Hr. Bbettsllne has traveled with the playen for a num- ber of yeara aa flnaoclal manager, and he ban a pretty good Idea of how the men ehould be band led o make them winners. Then may be aeveni chaggas on the team's Infleld and one In the out- Beld. Pint and second bases and abort stop are the poaltlona on Ihe Infleld where changes are likely to be made. Uamlltoo has become diaaailailed with the tieaiment be has received at ibehandHot some ot the newspspen In that dty, and thinks he can do better elaewhere. Do has mistaken Juat orlUclam tor a peiaonal attack on hIaabUllyaaa baU player, and now he feela lhat he cannot do blmaelf Justice It henmalna in thecityof Untherly Love, rrobablva deal with the local club can be made whereby Uamlllon can be HanatemNl to Ihla city. Doyle for Uamllton would come preity nearly lieuganeqaalliade. llallman Is another man that may be found In aome other major league team, II a auilable man la offend In exobaoge for hiro. ttlther Madlaon or tbe player recently obtained tnm the WeatetB League will be placed In that ponlUoo, or at leaat a hrlal will be given each ottbem, provld- U)g a better man cannorbe obtained. Theolubwas very weak at shortstop during tbe past seac^n, and an extra edbrt will be made to gel a man lo All lhat all Important poaltlon. The club baa a great oot- leld la Delehanty, Turner and Thonpeon, while ■here la no dob einnger behind the bat. Ibis Is equally true of third base. In UveOroaatbe club has a very clever man. lie can flUalmoat any poal- tlon on the learn. What the Boetonaob ofHclals will do In regard t* tbe make op of their team next season, hi a ques- tion lhat has been asked many times sinee ihe ckna of the past aeaaon; but no one outside of the ofllclals taemaelves appeara to be able to answer, sad they have nothing ot Interest to uy on the sob- JeoL 'That tbe team's work dnUng the past aeaaoa was a dlsappoUitment Is a wsll known ucL It fell far shoit (X Its usual high standard, and no good reason appean to bo glveo forIL Some ohaages In the leamw make up have already been annoonced, but whether or not any very Imponani onea will be made la a nrjt matter of apecniatton at the preaent nine. The tfoalnos were gcoemtly conceded to be the mostpioljablepennantwlnnenalthe twglnnlng of the past season, and why ihey tailed lo win k not an easy qoeatlon to answer.

The grealeai ohiectlon lo the two umpires Is the expense; but thbisbould notatsnd In the way when two good men would add greally tu the lotereat of a game.
