The Whites [St. Louis Western League] are still the property of Mr. Von der Ahe, and from the present outlook the team will not be sold in a body as neither Denver nor Lincoln could raise enough money to buy the club. Herr has been ordered to Cincinnati, and he will play there with the Browns to-day or to-morrow, and if he can hold his own with the champions he will be played regularly by Comiskey. Staley's transfer to the Browns is only a matter of a very short time. The Whites will be sold piecemeal and the franchise placed later on. The club is playing good ball and making money away from home, but they are no attraction in St. Louis and will be a losing nine.
