Show May Not Go to New York. Tho fact that tho American leaguo was willing to glvo up Pitcher Donovan Dono-van to tho Brooklyn club providing Clause 5 was changed so as to make it posslblo for It to chango ItB circuit without consulting tho National leaguo Is taken as an Indication that grounds In Now York have not boon secured, and that It may be necessary to drop New York and tako In another city In order to havo tho circuit of olght clubs. Tho National leaguo committee saw this point, and foi this reason refused to accept Dono-. van, believing that by letting tho clauso stand as It was originally adopted It was benefiting tho National leaguo. That being the case, the Brooklyn club sacrificed a player for tho benefit of tho leaguo, and will, therefore, be compensated by the leaguo for the said player. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. |
