Text | There are some professional players down here [New Orleans], and semi-professional ball is being played. Billy Smith of the Detroits and other nines, Cartwright, the famous slugger; Phelan of Des Moines, Beban of Lynn, and other winter here, and the climate gives them a chance to keep in good condition. There is an effort being made to get up a regular professional nine to play against visiting combinations that it is proposed to bring South. The Detroit team of the International League have in contemplation a visit to the South. They will spend most of their time in New Orleans practicing, and will go North in time for the opening of the base ball season. Other teams are being corresponded with, and the Baltimores and other teams will probably come down. Manager Mutrie and the colts spent some time in New Orleans last year, and Handsome Jeems may come to the Cresent City again this year. He has many friends down South who would be glad to see the youngsters of the gilt-edge team play ball. |
